I used to do that before I realized it's better not to. It raises my expectation and reduces the surprise factor. How about you?

Haha, nice q. Depends on how much I know what to expect. I agree it's much better not to, but I often end up listening to a short mix or glancing at a tracklist.

the situation is when you know what to expect even only slightly. if the dj is totally unknown to me of course i gotta listen to his set first.

Do all the time. There are a lot of DJs I'm never going to hear live.

I don't see any problem with doing this. I'm a bit unreasonable in this regard though because if I listened to a recorded DJ set and then heard that DJ play the exact same tracks in a live setting, I'd probably be a bit turned off. I feel let down when DJs play the same set over and over again instead of mixing it up more.

that's what i mean. imagine if you didn't listen to that recorded set. you wouldn't know if the dj's already performed that kind of set.
