“Vinyl brake” (Japanese pronunciation: vainaru bureki) is one technique used by DJs and music producers when operating turntables. It creates a brief stop during analog-record playback, temporarily halting the rhythm or beat to add rhythmic changes or effects. When spinning a record on a turntable, DJs commonly stop or turn the disc by hand. Because stopping it at a consistent speed is difficult this way, a “vinyl brake” is used to control temporary stops more precisely. “Vinyl brake” is a method of temporarily stopping a record by placing a vinyl disc on a turntable, putting a finger at its center, and lightly pressing the finger while the record turns. This makes it possible to temporarily stop the flow of music or add effects. Many DJs master this technique as an important element of DJ skill and creative staging.
