Absence of bad vocals.
Absence of cheesey lyrics.
Absence of overused synths and beats.
Absence of cheesey melodies.

I think a break always goes down well. At the start of a track you are normally lead in with a simple 4/4 or summink and then elements are progressively entered onto the track. A break allows a second, and often vital introduction to the body of the track as it really stands, so that the most important or euphoric synths and synth/vocal elements can be given a chance to shine. For me, this is the start of the track per se - you can think of the time before this as mood setting, but the break is the part of the track where the track is given merit to shine on its own.

Of course, this doesn't work for a lot of tracks, i'm thinking DuMonde, Kansai, Neo & Farina, that kinda thing.

AND, it looks cool on the vinyl :)

That's hard to answer in less than 500 pages


So often I've heard the best rithyms, melodies etc. destroyed by a pathetic mix.


Kruder and Dorfmeister are the best example of how to mix IMO;)
