Its all to do with the bass drum and bass combination. The kick drum isn't very punchy, its a very round sounding kick and so can become lost if a lot of things are going on at once. Eventually you will not need to use the low sounds to mix, instead, as somebody has stated try listening to the high hats, utilise the full range of the tune and everything will click into place!

I agree with this , for those of you that dont know i also spinn breaks and beacause of the wierd 4/4 patterns of Breaks i have learn to mix Trance by the Hit Hats and Snare i basicly kill the bass when i beatmatch. Just once try to just use the Hi Hats and Snare in the track that may help.

The only things I can think of are that a lot of his tracks have a lot of “stuff” going on in them (buzzing sounds, etc.), even in the intros/outros, so the sounds may clash. Also, to me, his bassline (kick drum) tends to sound flat & wide (not sure the technical term for this) compared to kicks in a lot of other tracks that “pop” more/are more pronounced/sharp (like a lot of PVD style tracks – know what I mean?). Compare Urban Shakedown (original) with Urban Shakedown (G&M project mix) for an example. I find its easier to mix tracks w/the more pronounced kicks (like the g&m project mix). Keep trying though, MIKE stuff is great!

very true...but all you gotta do is be good at using the EQ...and you'll pull it off
