has anyone ever dropped "the entertainer" or some goofy song in the middle of an intense set to lighten the mood? i always thought that would be great

haven't done it live...

but in the guest mix I did for MANTIS Radio, I mixed in the Gremlins theme song... as well as used a bit from a Tom & Jerry cartoon as an interlude.

I used to do this a lot... Prince, Peter Gabriel and Cameo in a DnB set once, Mighty Mighty Bosstones and Smashing Pumpkins in dubstep sets... for the right crowd at the right time, its a great weapon. Need to start dusting out some more...

Do you have the whole Ghostbusters soundtrack or just the theme? Theres a tune called "Magic" on there thats essentially proto dubstep...

I'm not sure if the average crowd is open-minded enough. In fact I didn't even dare playing out the 4 to the floor intro part of Nero's Act Like You Know because I was fearing the music sizan to go all "WHAT IS THIS SHIT" before it could drop...

Edit: Wtf, n-a-z-i-s is censored to sizan? Awesome :D

Now see if this got dropped in the middle of an otherwise good set, I might get kind of testy and aggro. Any DJ attempting this should expect pint glasses getting hurled at their forehead.

My intro tune at the begging of d&b sets in the 90's was the 'Strar wars' theme tune, slowly crossfaded to 'Dj SS "Rollers convention

Yeah, there are some songs that might get you hurt... like this one. I dont even think aerosmith would play this one anymore lol.

On my radio show one time I played Blind Melon "No Rain" and just watched the numbers drop until I stopped it... kinda wish Ida thought that one through a bit more - but hey, its at 70BPM!
