I've been listening to old school the whole day and it keeps popping to my head that where are all the organic instruments? Old school had tons. It wasn't all synths. New school has them but very little! Bring back didgeroos and sitars and start mixing! Also more tribal nature tracks on top of that!

I agree. It's very simple for me. Use whatever makes the track more complex and unique. Sometimes "organic" instruments do the job. Sort of like how some of the best melodys are the most simple ones you never thought to think of.

I'm with Ormion. The Elysium remix of The Source isn't bad, but it is a rare example of where this stuff actually works. In 95% of cases, it kills the track for me. However, a mighty fine and well known track (captain obvious strikes again) where organic instruments elevate the sound to new heights and adjacent relams is:

well actually that didgeridoo sample sounds a LOT like the one in the intro to Scarab...

 

 

and while we're talking about organic instruments and originality... nothing even comes close to this IMO:
