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. :)
