This category was added in 2012,Functional Breaks debuted in 1992 as a subgenre of techno, with tracks that emphasized a certain change-up or break in the music to “freshen up” the track and add an element of fun or release to the listener. In later years, as hyphy, G-funk and Miami bass began to fall out of favor with mainstream audiences, Disco edits and re-edits became popular among DJs looking for new ways to keep dance floors moving.The term “remix” often refers to non-electronic music as well, such as pop, rock, country.
