Granted, sometimes an imaginiative mix can make you re-evaluate a record that you had previously dismissed, especially if it completely contrasts/clashs with the other record but as you say, to mix crap in just to make a splash is lame IMHO.

I agree that a DJ should play (and be allowed to play) ANYTHING that they think works in the context of a mix, but I don't see any point in playing crap just to get a reaction.
