Alright, my two cents on this.
First of all, what does it mean to say that someone's music is good or bad? By qualifying it that way, you're making an objective statement about a DJ's music, and thus, would require certain objective criteria to justify your claims. But what objective criteria could you possibly come up with to determine whether someone's music is "good" or "bad"? Personally, I see none.
You might want to bring up his mixing skills, his beat-matching skills and so forth, which could be objectively quantifiable, but how does that reflect whether his music is "good" or "bad"? The only thing it relects is his technical proficiency as a DJ, period. Nothing to do with his music.
You might want to get into an elaborate discussion about the "richness" of his sound (i.e. the amount of layers of music in his productions and so forth), but why does richness of a sound automatically have to be equated with good music? Again, there is no reason to do so, and doing so is merely a reflection of a certain subjective preference with regards to a certain sound over another (i.e. the preference of a rich sound over one that isn't so rich).
At the end, "good" music is synonamous with "music I like to listen to", and bad music is "music I don't enjoy listening to". Thus when people argue about "good" music versus "bad" music, and present their arguments as the only truth on the matter, they fail to understand that they're arguing about SUBJECTIVE issues that cannot have, in principle, a common outcome. Your garbage is another man's treasure, so stop arguing about vagueries dammit
