The intro track...
Is it just me, or does everyone else really appreciate a DJ that can choose a great intro track?
I have this thing about looking at different DJ's intro's. I never start off a set with just a plain track.
Being the Sasha whore I am, I will say that I love his intro's because he always picks some unique track for them.
What other DJ's have really nice intros? (or really bad 
)
i definitely appreciate a good intro track. sasha has always done that.
like back in the day he'd take:
Jean Michel Jarre - Ethnicolor ----> Underworld - Dark & Long
or
Sasha & Emerson - Scorchio (Lat Nite Dub) -----> Sasha & Emerson - Scorchio (Original)
i looooooved that shit hehe. hell i didn't even know they were different tracks til i did a little research.
zabiela of course is also really good with intros...he usually does some kind of effect intro or sampling or something...which is cool.
as for others that do good intros...i'm a little stuck, haven't listened to many livesets lately. but yeah intros are always great! not just some kick drum starting...
Good ole Project Medusa vs Exor - Moonshine (Exor Mix pt 2) comes to mind 
Now THATS an intro track.
What I find about a lot of intros is that you have a little semi-ambient stuff and then the beat comes out of NOWHERE. At least with Moonshine it fits into the buildup perfectly.
I always love intros. Usually even more than an outro. Overall I love both.

Another insane one Zabiela did was ->
01. Intro w/elements of KLF - What time is Love/Space Manoeuvres - Stage One (Space Manoeuvres' Total Separation Mix)
02. Kraftwerk - Numbers (Live Version) Vs 2 Bad Mice - Bombscare
....
Nuts

yes! intro tracks are so very important because they set up the whole mix. which is why I hate it when a DJ Starts off a mix with a 4/4 beat. like my friend does. hes a good DJ but everyone of his mixes start off lackluster because of it.
A good intro is always important. but for me, the closer / ending track is more important. I find it easier to get INTO a set [if the opener is bad], than it is to get a bad closer out of my head.
on topic tho, good intros that i liked :
Tiesto - Essential Mix [07-08-2005]
1) Kosmas Epsilon - Innocent Thoughts
Armin - Essential Mix [02-09-2003]
1) Mark Otten - Mushroom Therapy
Other tracks that are good to start w/:
Synergy - Hello Strings
Ave Mea - In the End
Moonman - Galaxia [Symphonic Remake]
Armin Van Buuren - Prodemium
If I were a DJ (which i'm not) and I was going to make a set (which i'm not) I might start it with
Sasha vs Mike Koglin - Enjoy the Wavy Gravy
invisible inc. - stars
sasha's best intro track
