A disco mix is the re-recording of a song, whose structure was predicated on exciting listeners and dancers by employing various iterations of the song's verses, bridges, and refrains through breaks and orchestral builds.

A typical disco mix began with introduction of the melody through an orchestral build in order to lure the listeners onto the dance-floor, then broke to begin the verses, bridges, and refrains. Then, with full orchestral accompaniment, and, therefore, full attention and peak excitement of the listeners, the song would again break, giving a sort of respite and excited anticipation of what was soon to come. Another orchestral build would follow, which served to multiply the psychological excitement through the conclusion of the song, until its end.

The method of disco-mixing a song was used by the music industry's most adept recording engineers and mixers for the purpose of propelling dance-floor participants into a natural-high.
