OK, here goes.
This plays more like a mixtape than a mix in that's is more focused on sequencing/playing tracks one after another than blending/mixing the tracks. There are loads of different techniques, cuts, blends, fades, etc. - and some of the most admired DJs would rather play tracks out in their entirety than mix from one to another.
As far as transitions go on this one though, because you're asking specifically on from track to track, it's pretty much like you're just letting track A play all the way through, then fade out/fade in track B, let it play, fade out, with tracks maybe overlaying each other a few seconds at most and no real transitions to speak of. That's a technique, but what you should start out with is getting yourself practiced and proficient at beatmatching. This is the foundation of making seamless transitions; it's also easily the most frustrating and time-consuming part of learning. It took me about a year to get a good grasp on this. With beatmatching down you'll not only be able to match tempo/bpm/beats, but also bars and phrases and get into all sorts of advanced techniques that can take your mixing places pretty much anywhere you can think of. The idea, generally, is to be able to go from track to track with the transitions as seamless as possible.
What are you mixing on? I'm assuming vinyl or CDJs - or are you using software or something else?
I could go into details and mechanics here but many others more experienced and eloquent than I have done that already many times over - recommended reading: dj recess's (he's a TA) site, has loads of good info I used a ton when I was starting out. Read everything in the "mixing" section, especially "The Point of DJing." I also picked up "How to DJ Right" by Frank Broughton and Bill Brewster, fantastic book, hilarious, easy to read and understand.

Look around in the DJ Booth forum too, lots of good info there from people who have been mixing a lot longer and a lot better than me.
Even better, seek out some buddies who are into it, or people who are willing to give some lessons/show you stuff in person. I learned more in an hour of watching my buddy mix and him coaching me than I did in a week of reading on my own (learning on your own in still real helpful too, don't get me wrong). Listen to DJ sets (the DJ Promotion forum here kicks ass), listen to their transitions (the more you practice the more you'll get the mechanics of it and hear what they're doing), go see live sets in person...and above all, practice! It'll suck for a while, but when it finally clicks, it's addictive like nothing else.
Happy reading and good luck. Feel free to PM me with any other questions or whatever.
Cheers.
