We did a night @ The Bomb in Nottingham on Friday, and my mate Gaz did one of his Ableton sets that tore the roof off.

He starts mixing tracks from all genres... House, Techno, Electro, Breaks, whatever, and throwing in his own loops on the fly. Bringing in acapellas and doing FX in real-time, which he's got down pretty tight with one of those Kenton control freak things.

People hear all kinds of tunes that no-one in their right mind would try and mix under conventional circumstances, not only being mixed together, but re-mixed ad hoc. Re-sequenced, re-effected, re-worked. They hear instantly recognisable acapellas, noises, sound effects etc. getting thrown over the top as improvisationally as possible. And they go nuts.

He's even pretty much junked Cubase for production now. Just uses Ableton from word go, because the results are so much more immediate - not to mention that stuff is "ready to go" in a live context straight away. You can go from zero to a workable loop in seconds rather than minutes - which is awesome for keeping your workflow tight.
