Phrasing (DJ)

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Jump to: navigation, search

In DJing, phrasing, also called stage matching, refers to alignment of phrases of two tracks in a mix. This allows the transition between the tracks to be done without breaking the musical structure.

Phrasing is an aspect of beatmixing, not a separate technique. Because most electronic dance music tracks have 4/4 time signature and a simple structure of 16-bar phrases, to align the phrases of two tracks it is often enough to start the track to be mixed in at a phrase boundary in the track currently playing. Careful phrasing can make the mix seamless, by making the breaks in two tracks coincide, or aligning the break in one track with the start of the beat in the other.
