I was seduced by the live percussion sound as a result of going to Frank's Lounge at least once a month for Bang the Party, when that still happened.. There were almost always one or two guys with big congas who would play throughout the set, and their sound just blended in with everything to the point where you forgot they were separate from all the records.

my band played in nyc a couple times with this dj nickodemus, who always had a couple live percussionists. definitely the coolest part of the thing.

and this is probably obvious but i really like lcd soundsystem's sloppy percussion breaks, like on 'beat connection' etc

Fango - Caballos (Despejado mix). From around 2:05 - not sure if you could describe this as 'organic', but has the desired affect...
