Just looking at the vinyl itself, you can see the instrumental breaks or fade outs, which can help, if its not 'dark'. But more often than not, its dark in a club!!Now your dance tunes, say, from '87'88 onwards to '94 ish, weren't always DJ freindly, so, I think mixing back then, you did need to know the tune layout a bit more! Were it comes to chopping & cutting the mix, as long as you can judge in the headphones that these tunes will go, then you can go ahead and cut a mix without worrying about where the next break is! I used to listen to DJ Nipper in the clubs, and he did a lot of this in a true pro style!!! Good DJ, sure he has 'Hip hop' roots!! <img src="/styles/default/xenforo/smilies/classics/smile-r.gif"  class="smilie" loading="lazy" alt=":spin:" title="spin    :spin:" data-shortname=":spin:" /></blockquote>
