Um, let's see, a lot of it depends on the crowd in terms of whether or not it's surprising
Fx Zone - Synthasia (Nu Nrg remix) - This was surprising because I spun it at a rave with a bunch of 17 year old e'd out candy kids right soon after the track came out. Crowds like these basically want to hear Castles in the Sky four times in a row or at least old anthems...there's no way they could have heard this before. I played it and all these kids were running around hugging each other, going crazy dancing.... I played it at a small house party with a bunch of 30 year olds a month later.... no hugging but drunk girls dancing their asses off until they nearly fell down. At least they liked it.
Midway - Inca - works well with the raver crowd too. I've never seen so many odd dance variations before when the track goes through the build.
Moonrush - Risky Business (arc in the sky remix) - A winner every time I've played it. Gah, why?? (I love it too, but why??)
