Sure, why not? It's great to hear classics now and then. And new remixes of classics can be good too. You don't have to play oldies in your sets all the time, but when the mood is right for it, they can really lift your set

Yup, i love hearing classics in live sets, gives me that nice warm feeling of recognizing a song everybody loves
Also like using classics myself every now and then, but they can be a bit difficult to play with some newer tunes...

I'm a really big fan of new + old. A lot of times us DJ's get tracks that are so new, nobody knows them yet with the exception of other DJs. You put classics in your mix, makes it go well with the regular Joe. Listen to Ep. 10 of Global Trance Sessions this Sunday ;) I've got a very nice mix of new + old in there.

Cool

Judging by the vote I'm on good ground when I agree

with Classics being used on mixes - when you come to

think about it the Dj's know what we want and nearly

always provide the goods, if they dont we drop them

and go on to another Dj, possibly, in my case they always

seem to provide what I want. Classics or new tracks as

long as they are great music no probs to me.

Cheers
