Nirvana in house/trance mixes

Hi everyone,

When I went to see Ferry spin at the House of Blues in Anaheim, DJ Rap opened with a house set, where she played Nirvana's "Smells like teen spirit". This was the first time that I had heard Nirvana used in electronica. More recently, Pete Tong's essential mix on 03-06-2004 also used a Nirvana song. I'm not a Nirvana fan or anything, but I'm wondering if anyone knows who started this and perhaps if it is catching on to mix in punkish rock into electronica.

Smells like Freeland probably

nirvana - lithium (dirt funker mix)

this is by far the best nirvana remix i've heard.

Nirvana

Vance Musgrove - Elemental (Orcmusic) has a fantastic spaced out sample from Come as You Are which is not instantly recognisable but always has people asking "Whats that tune, it reminds me of something?"

Classy track from a great young Aussie producer. It's pretty rare though, 500 pressed as far as I know.

honestly, i'm a hardcore trance fan(TA), and i was part of the grunge era as well, and i think its DISGUSTING.

not only are they butchering legendary music, but it doesnt make
for good ELECTRONIC music.

if i had it my way, it would be BANNED altogether to remix nirvana,
or even chili peppers (i've heard that spun live).

just a sheer TRAVESTY

Are you sure you aren't confusing "Smells Like Teen Spirit" for the weird-ass melody in Balloon - Monstersound? It sounds a hell of a lot like Nirvana, but... fubar and such.
