First off, sorry about the title, i found it impossible to name it properly.
I was curious about what your thoughts are on Dj's dropping something out of a completely different genre in the middle of a set?
I only have a few examples, a good one could be Freelands EM from 2003 when he played RATM - Killing In The Name Of, Westbam playing ELO's Dont Bring Me Down.
Post some examples of transitions that you think worked, and those that didn't. Be it on some CD or in the club, any experiences for that matter.. I don't give give a rats ass what genre.. As long as it's good music.
Thanks, and please carry on! :)

pvd played oasis - wonderwall, slap bang in the middle of his amnesia closing set last year. that was pretty random :wtf: but it sorta worked

My friend played a Britney track in the middle of a hardstyle set because I dared him to... and managed to beatmatch it too.

tiesto dropped P. Diddy & Christina Aguilera – Tell Me in a set in late 2006

I heard Michael Mayer does/did that pretty often. Can't think of any example now, though.

Holden played "The Momas and The Papas - California Dreamin" at the end of one of his essential mixes. That was gold.

This was PvD's encore track June of last year.
The Verve - Drugs don't work

I could have shot myself in the head! Had to leave right after.

i'm sure because tiesto knows that P Diddy is big on the "electro-tech" (see diddy's wmc video) :wtf:

Got some.
Mayer allegedly played 'Sniff 'n' the Tears - Driver's Seat' and Chicago's 'If You Leave Me Now' in his sets.

Hearing John Digweed play Paul Van Dyk - Avenue and Sasha playing For an Angel in some old sets was pretty random.

smells like teen spirit seems to make an apperance in sets from time to time. i remember guetta's sensation set, and this year's intro (before tiestor) on trance energy.
