I'll briefly add (for the sake of simplification) that most popular, but electronic music in particular, is constructed around a 16-beat or 32-beat long loop. Most knowledgeable DJ's out there have a good understanding about how these songs are looped and structured, so to properly do a good clean sounding mix between two records, the DJ likes to have a point (a particular downbeat, in most cases) where he knows he can start the song and then begin his mix. A song that fades in... makes that a quite bit more challenging, since you don't know where the loop begins and repeats... you don't exactly know where it ends either, as a result. :)
