This is my first time posting in the dj forums, but yes Ableton is known for its live mixing capabilities and chopping/cutting pieces from a track. It is used by many known DJs when they do live sets. It just allows for more flexibility when remixing because not only can you chop, cut and paste, but you can also sequence your chopped pieces into how you'd like.
