    Yes I know that without layering the transition is called cutting, and when you layer its called blending. And electro, progressive and some other EDM genres are transitioned form one track to another with blending. What I mean about layering is that when djs play deep house, tech house they play two or more tracks at the same time like always, never a single track.

    I understand. 3 and 4 deck mixing can be complicated and is best utilized in techno. I also find it to be done more frequently in mixtapes than live. Even when people do it live it is either a routine or they don’t take great risks.
