A lot of times djs will throw a curve ball that will certainly make their set unique , whether is an old classic tune or a track that is unrelated to the whole style of the set , the dj just just dropped it and the dancefloor went nuts !! which ones do you recall...?

here are mine:

[B]Hernan Cattaneo [/B]

Chab - Closer to me ( lima peru 2007 ) Chemical brothers - Star Guitar (Lima peru 2007) Humate - Love Stimulation (San Diego 2006 )

[B]Digweed [/B]

Jondi & Spesh - We Are Connected (Active Love Mix ) ( wmc 2008 )

[B]Sasha[/B]

justice vs simian - we are your friends ( radioslave mix ) (Nye L.a. 2007)

[B]Zabiela[/B] Daft punk - da funk ( hollywood 2007)

[B]Howells [/B] Fatboy slim - Right here right now ( las vegas 2004)

Re: That Curve Ball that made your Night!!!

I remember hearing Groove Armada's 'At The River' for the very first time when Fatboy Slim played it in the dance tent at Glastonbury. Think it was '98 or '99. It was in the middle of a pretty lively breakbeat set and must have been the first time most people had heard it...I just remember people looking at each other laughing, and saying 'What the fuck is this'. Absolutely amazing moment and something I'll never forget.

Re: That Curve Ball that made your Night!!!

I saw Digweed play the Hardfloor Mix of New Order's Blue Monday in Toronto, otherwise him, Sasha and Hernan seem to keep it pretty steady and unsurprising...Zabiela FTW here, his sets almost always have a wrench in them.

Re: That Curve Ball that made your Night!!!

Desyn was opening for Digweed a few years back here in Boston (on my birthday no less). He did a warm up set, pretty mellow, crowd was just milling around half interested and getting warmed up, then he dropped [B]Erykah Badu - On and On (Ewan Kaye Mix) [/B]and it was almost like he flipped a switch and the room blew up. As soon as the "Oh my, my, my...." started the floor was filled.

It's certainly not out of Desyn's normal style, considering he used that track in one of his Transitions mix, but it's one of my most memorable moments of the entire mood of the place turning on a dime.

Re: That Curve Ball that made your Night!!!

fatboy - putting seven nation army instrumental and public enemy acapella together was another glasto mind blower.

a tonne of '2 many dj's' curve balls which hit almost every set they play

my firstrecollections - were AWAY back when - was some local DJ in a small club playing some messed up remix of 'finally' and the place erupting.

Re: That Curve Ball that made your Night!!!

Erick Morillo played Smells like Teen Spirit at the Circus in Liverpool about three years ago. I, along with a 1000 others lost the plot!

I love curve balls.

Re: That Curve Ball that made your Night!!!

With regret I have never had one of those moments cause big names don't come to our shores anymore:(

Re: That Curve Ball that made your Night!!!

Would have to say Lawler throwing down X-press 2 Muzik Express back in early 2000's, also first time I heard Diggers drop Heller & Farley The Rising Sun, Bedrock rmx as well as of course Heaven Scent, bye bye brain cells, so I would not say those are curve balls, maybe Martin Garcia playing Saints and Sinners Pushing Too Hard Futureshock rmx in 06, would even say the recent redux of Xpander when I saw him in Sept. had not heard about it.

Re: That Curve Ball that made your Night!!!

Dixon playing Seal´s Killer as the penultimate track of his set @Lux in October 2008. The whole place with arms raised singing the "solitary brother... solitary sister..." chorus.

Mindblowing.

Re: That Curve Ball that made your Night!!!

At the end of Steve Porter's set at State in miami during WMC a few years back, he dropped Bust a Move-Young MC. The whole place went ape shit.

I also remember Steve Lawler dropping Eurythmics-Sweet Dreams in Orlando a while back. That was awesome. come to think of it, that whole set was rediculous. Thats when O-town was in one of its primes

Jondi & Spesh - We Are Connected (Active Love Mix ) ( wmc 2008 )

[/QUOTE]

Jondi & Spesh fucking rock; Circulation's remix is still my favorite. Nice.

I dropped some old Sublime (edm remixes, but good ones nonetheless) joints at a kickback no to long ago :p

Curve-balls, sinkers, change-ups and kuckle-balls :RightOn:

Re: That Curve Ball that made your Night!!!

Diggers finishing Holdens remix of Britney's "Breath" at Cream on boxing night 2008 was special ... It's been something close to my heart after sasha's legendary space birthday marathon. Also Roaches at bedrock 10 sounded immense.

Re: That Curve Ball that made your Night!!!

Last Creamfields in Buenos Aires Hernan close his set with a personal all time fav... Sigur Ros - Svefn G Englar (Innerstate Remix) + Radiohead - My Iron Lung (Yamil Colucci Unofficial remix).. Perfect end for Zabs who played next

Last Moonpark in Bueno Aires Hernan (again :lol:) drop a beautifull classic from his Perfecto South America Cd, Shmuel Flash - Chilling moments.. Another great moment to remember..

And last time i saw Nick Warren at Pacha back in 2008, he played Kintar - Gladiator + The Host of Serafine.. Can even smell that moment too..

Great times for sure

Re: That Curve Ball that made your Night!!!

in sensation white Amsterdam 2009, sebastian ingrosso dropped "everything but the girl" im not a big fan of the man myself but man the place went nuts when he dropped this tune, he kicked it in with the vocals first so everyone there had their hands on their heads and looking at eachother like whoaa...

[B] [/B]

Re: That Curve Ball that made your Night!!!

Orkidea playing Xpander in a festival set 40 minutes into his 2 hour set in 2001 certainly comes to mind. Place went apeshit and he managed to keep the vibe up from that point on.

" Underground will live forever live baby we just like roaches never dying, always living , and all man know lets get back to the program ...":twisted:

trancesetter - roaches ( peace division remix ) :twisted::twisted:

last night this tune fucking set me off throughout the entire night , 2 hours after each of them played individually .... Danny H and Lee B. were tagging on 1 to 1 tracks going back and forth , the direction of the whole night was more of lee's style , with techy strong basllines sometimes howells would bring some the funk into the set , but it was def. lee's night , he destroyed the dancefloor, he was doing eveything excellent , until ...

I start to hear those cutted high hats and that early 2000 filtered synth with all of these old skool effects goign back and forth back and forth .... i was like OMG OMG OMG is it ???? he fucking dropped it , I went nuts and ofcourse everyone went mental ... thanks lee I really wanted to experience that song at a gig I love you , you bald headed Mofo' :p

Re: That Curve Ball that made your Night!!!

Digweed:

Tijuana - "Groove Is In The Air" Killahurtz - "West On 27th" Luzon - "The Baguio Track"

Around 2AM in 2001 or 02 at The Mayan all at about 132 BPM... :shock::shock::shock:

Re: That Curve Ball that made your Night!!!

^ I remember that!!!

Re: That Curve Ball that made your Night!!!

[QUOTE=floridaorange;839069]^ I remember that!!![/QUOTE]

I just got goose bumps just remembering track, after track... he threw in Deported [Heavy Mix] somewhere in there too. Oh those Mayan nights.

Re: That Curve Ball that made your Night!!!

[QUOTE=hypoluxxa;839056]Digweed:

Luzon - "The Baguio Track"[/QUOTE]

bedrock remix right ? yeah this is on my wishlist of tracks to listen to live, the first time i ever heard it was on the sasha digweed " communicate" cd mix.

I mix it in everynow and then , i don't think atm sasha or diggers can go above 128 cuz that tracks is like 133 bpm still though if I ever see them again i hope they make a large nudge to their set and just bring it in :D
