Slip-cueing

Slip-cueing is a DJ technique originated by Francis Grasso that consists of "holding a record still with his thumb and forefinger while a protective slipmat and the steel platter of the turntable revolved underneath. He then released the vinyl at the exact right moment he wanted to come in with the new song, creating a sudden segue from the previous track, similar in the beats-per-minute range and orchestration." (Jones and Kantonen, 1999)
