honestly, it all depends. for a while i used to end most sets with ray charles' "i've got news for you", before that it was sade's "king of sorrow" and i also used to use the groove armada version of sex & the city theme.

As long as people leave the venue craving an alka seltzer then my job has been accomplished.

What most people remark about me is that they're a big, big fan.

Completely depends on your timeslot. If you have another DJ following your set and you want to keep the flow going I’d just play something which would compliment the upcoming DJ's style.

If I was doing a closing set I would always play a well known track which most of the people in attendance will likely know for that feel good factor, send them home happy and all that.

I agree about ending sets with a banger but leaving the crowd in a truly satisfied state doesn’t happen at the end, but by the djs performance as a whole throughout the set.
It all depends on the djs style, djs versatility and the continuity of the set as a whole. By this I mean: Does the dj consistently throw on record after record of a specific taste, like take the consistent sound of a label, Bedrock for example, and mix throughout their set in such a style until the end when they throws on, let’s say a remix of a Heaven Scent by Digweed? To do so would only impress the crowd and only if the dj was a “closer”. If so I think it would be alright if he was the “closer” to do so.
But, let’s say that the dj is a “closer” likeThomas Datt who is very versatile in his music selection, and having a wider array of sounds throughout the set makes the fillers that he belts out in between the popular ones (that the crowd may or may not know very well) seem just as delightful as the others, also enabling him to play a track at the end making for an easier transition into the next djs set if the line-up is correctly built.
Its just depends on the several aspects of djing that I have mentioned.
But some would contend that it depends on the popularity of the last track.

One of my first reactions, largely because it was used so successfully to that end with Balance 005:

Closing with a classic is relative, first of all because some tracks aren't that classic and you rarely hear them so half of the crowd will be unsure about if they know or not the track.

Secondly half of the crowd are surely newcomers so a classic for them is a song that was overplayed last year...
