I remember a few years back a dj ( name has slipped my mind as I was 15 at time ) spinning Mills style on 4 decks & accompanied by a group of Brazilian sounding percussionists . The energy was amazing ! With live instruments in productions..... I'm currently listening to " Strings of Life " and that piano is awesome. Instruments like piano/keys , brass , & live percussion ( esp. South American & African ) can sound great in tracks if used correctly.
