fratpat - actually I meant the exact opposite (sorry if I wasn't clear)....sometimes I feel as if the DJ gives credit for a track to someone else on a mix CD when all it is is a bridge between two tracks.... my dj friend emailed me back with the answer i was looking for: "fyi a "bridge" track, as you referenced, is either (1) a bunch of beats taken from the bridge of some random record that is not used in its entirety or else (2) a really boring track used to bridge between two tracks that differ substantially in tempo, style or key." the example I came up with was Acquilla's Dreamstate (LSG Mix) - on Sasha GU Ibiza CD 2 - Track 8....the track has nothing indistinguishable but is just serving as a bridge
