Easy Does it. Sorry, i meant the fucking 20th Century Fox Jingle

Or, if you're playing trance, mix into a huge breakdown with no rhythmicness so it doesn't have to be beatmatched (for example one of those long string pads), like in the intro of certain tracks.

I used to do that when I closed the night after a drum and bass DJ.
