A washed-out pedal note, a monotone lead pattern, or a defining percussive hit adds interest to your intros, unlike the stripped back and solitary drum loops popular in previous generations' house records. How We Make It Better: Try to establish a vibe as quickly as possible. They can be fairly monotonous to the casual listener, so many labels also release 'radio' edits of these tracks, which remove the intro entirely. The functionality of these sections often means that these sections contain little more than a kick drum, snare drum, and some secondary percussive elements. As EDM tracks are meant to be included in a continual mix, this section (often 8, 16, or 32 bars in length) is designed for the DJ to begin syncing the two tracks playing simultaneously.
The most stripped downed section of the track would be its intro.
