I say 'I' tried but actually it was my music-compiling alter ego DJ Clownface. I had begun doing it myself but Clownface had called me from the Co-op with news of a half price deal on tins of Quality Street and when he caught hold that I was attempting to do some mixing, well, within five minutes he was back home and kicking me out of the driving seat, seamlessly merging The KLF into Haircut 100.
I have to say he was very good at it all. In one mix he actually cut a part out of one song and placed it on top and towards the end of the preceding tune. Genius! It means that when you listen to the whole mix you get a sneak preview of what track's coming next, a good two minutes before it actually starts!
If you want to try this technique at home I recommend you use the 'Just what is it that you want to do?' spoken bit from the beginning of Primal Scream's 'Loaded'. Slice this out and place it before the end of the preceding track. Possibly even twice before 'Loaded' actually starts. If you repeat it more than twice it will be DJ overkill. The equivalent of sending a Mother's Day to every mother you know or feeding five medium-sized ducks bread crusts non-stop for 12 hours.
