For a very long time, most of my sets as well were drunken. Jude is exactly right that you loose your inhibitions and it becomes more of a party.
However, when I started at Groovee that all changed for me. I stopped drinking and Mick pointed out to me that Psycho Bitch (someone I admired at one point) told him she became twice the dj she ever was after she stopped drinking. Then I started taking notice, and I could come up with a list of people who I used to love to listen to but can no longer tolearte because their drunkness behind the decks shines through in their music. I think there is a balance... drunken dj's = fun. Alcholholic dj's = tragic.
As for what gets me going? I like to rotate a dancefloor. I want to see people always coming on and off it. I also like it to peak 3-4 times. I like seeing someone getting off in their own little corner, I do not like to see people watching me. I'd rather play off in the corner and watch a crowd of 30 people going crazy to the music than i would to a crowd of 1,000 and have one person standing there on my DANCEfloor watching me with his hands in the air. In fact, there was a day when I would have turned the record off and said "please either dance, or get off the dancefloor".
