Cutting (music)
In hip hop music, cutting is a disc jockey technique, originated by DJ Grandmaster Flash, which is "manually cueing up duplicate copies of the same record in order to play the same passage, cutting back and forth between them." (AMG) This is necessary to isolate and extend breaks into breakbeats.
