Some famous admirers even left voicemail messages for Weaver following her win on Monday, which she played on last night's show, including James Wiltshire from Brighton remix duo The Freemasons.
And for those thinking that floorfillers means hard house, techno or simply 'noise without words' these days, then the inclusion of crossover mixes by the likes of pop princesses Pink, Britney Spears, Sugababes, Robyn and Madonna might possibly come as something of a surprise.
Of course, 'old skool' classics such as Livin' Joy's Dreamer, Freedom by QFX and the Dream Frequency's Good Times (suggested via text by listener Michael) were abundant on last night's three-hour show, and joined by forthcoming huge hits like Getting Ready by K Klass and the Seamus Haji remix of I Love To Move by Moby – both suspiciously as piano driven as the aforementioned 90s classics.
