Instruments like piano/keys , brass , & live percussion ( esp. South American & African ) can sound great in tracks if used correctly.
i've played at parties quite a few times with live percussion: people playing jembys, congos etc. along to my sets - sometimes it sounds great, other times it doesn't. You have to be a bit careful about what you play and make sure the drummers are good (and not too munted). One of the best sets i've played was at a solstice party with two of my mates playing along; i properly buzzed off it as did they and the crowd :)
