I frequently play Penderecki's Threnody for Hiroshima in DJ sets, as well as a
lot of things from the academic/electroacoustic scene. Recently I've been doing
a lot of edits from Stanford composer Mark Applebaum's digital remix CD, The
Janus Remixes (Innova), digital cutups of his orchestral music.
Not to mention an interview with John Cage wherein he is reading preset answers
from cards -- no matter what question is asked, he just picks a card randomly
and reads out the answer. Fun.
