i am trying to releas my first ever electronic dance music track. - yoo hoo!

i am not a DJ and am unexperienced in many many matters with regards to what is needed.

i have a RADIO EDIT (3.30)

and now working on CLUB MIXES.

one of my club mixes seems to be going on and on and will likely be 12 minutes long.

is that too LONG??

I AM ALSO thinking of releasing the 12 minute CLUB MIX - JUST in a shorter version as well - say 8 minutes.

can a 12 minute piece fit on one side of a 45 R.PRM VYNIL record

CAN a 12 minute piece only be released on CD.

do DJs not like 12 minute pieces incase they think its too long

please help as i havent a clue.

Remixes should be between 2 and 4 minutes. If you're working with a Radio Edit you might be able to push it to 5.

maybe i should have said CLUB MIX

length of club mixes. 2-4 minutes seems totally short.

club remixes need to be exactly 30 secs shorter than the original.

What kind of club is your target, though? Gentleman's? Bath? We need more info.

It doesn't really matter how long a track is, as long as it does enough to satisfy a listener's interest for the duration.

actually floorfller, is 31.4159 seconds

It does when pressing to vinyl, though. Even so, you can fit twentysomething minutes to one side of a vinyl so it really shouldn't be your concern while producing.

I'd just like to know how the hell can anyone extend a 3 minute track to 12+ minutes?

Trust me it can be done. Just take this legendary remix for example:
Donna Summer - I Feel Love (12" original) [8:15]
Donna Summer - I Feel Love (Patrick Cowley Remix) [15:51]

But that's a remix, not an extended version of the same track.
