I have seen derrick carter mix some old disco tracks for quite a while by
adjusting
The tempo w/ the pitch control on the turntable w/ no headphones (show
off!).
He has probably mixed all those tracks thousands of times tho -----!

Depends on the track... but you definitely have to know the tracks you're
mixing very very very well.
Usually its more of the beatmatch-quick-mix but some tracks work well in
longer mixes, like for example Cerrone Super Nature or any of the Candido
tracks...
