the very MONO recordings sound really big and fat.

Like Ten was saying above, pretty much all dance music will have the bass end in mono because when pressing to vinyl it helps the needle from jumping.

Other parts don't have to be recorded in mono, but referencing them in mono everynow and again is a good idea, just to make sure you don't get any phasing issues.

Basicly if your mix is good, you shouldn't loose any impact in mono.
