At 𝙏𝙝𝙚 𝙇𝙤𝙛𝙩 - which wasn’t actually a club, but rather an invitation-only house party he started in his own apartment in 1970 - entirely different rules applied. He didn’t really believe in the concept of a “hit”; he often played records that no one was looking for in record stores at the time. He played records from start to finish, without adjusting the volume or speed, and maintained that if a recording is good, it should be allowed to play through just as it was made. Meanwhile, 𝙏𝙤𝙢 𝙈𝙤𝙪𝙡𝙩𝙤𝙣 noticed something that DJs in clubs had already sensed: the three- or four-minute soul singles produced for radio were simply too short for the dance floor - they often ended just as the groove was really getting going. He began creating longer mixes, and then started taking the tracks apart and rebuilding them in the studio: with longer intros, instrumental sections, breaks, and a more repetitive structure. This gave rise to one of the key stylistic elements of the disco genre: the extended mix.
