I am a dj since two years back and one thing confuses me. What is a breakdown? Sorry i tried to search for a similar question but i didn't find any.

The energy that is built up in a song reaches a climax, and then all the energy stops, flows away. There's your breakdown

A breakdown is when the beat stops. In trance a breakdown handles before a build and then climax.

The part where all people put their hands in the air = Breakdown

I always thought that the part you guys are talking about was the "break", and the breakdown, was the part after the buildup, then everything hits(synths, leads, pads, drums, highhats etc..)

John me amigo....... you did not know this? Anyhow call me later this afternoon if you wanna record that set.
