done this loads for intro's or a mash-up of tracks, made them fit better in a mix etc. or editing some cheese out of it. like when i hear a really hard track like Bass Graffiti - 'The Hulk'.. Why that vocal sample was ever put in the break I have no idea lol.
as said above aslong as you're not claiming it to be yours or the origional that could piss off the producer i think its fine. i always name the track as its origional name then in brackets say what ive cut it with or done) .
I think if it suits your set or compliments what you're doing on the decks go for it. I wouldnt mind someone taking a track of mine and mashing it up or altering it with good ideas and would probarbly buzz off it. Although the opposite if it sounded like shit.
Just a shame some people wack shitty pop vocals over tracks (eg. dolphin head) or play 2 together and call it their own remix.. eg some shite on youtube..
Apart from the gimps that ruin tracks I think its good to put your own little stamp on tracks in a mix especially Djing out
I also think the crowd appreciates little quirky cuts and stuff added to a track or mix.. shows the dj really thinks about his set too and how to stand out a bit
I do think now times have changed. vinyl is pretty much obselete and digital tracks being so much easyer to manipulate than the past djing format clubbers expect a little bit more from a dj than just plain old mixing.
