this effect is usually due to super accurate mixing. and the kicks are cancelling eachother out. i personally like hearing this effect in a club because it reminds you that the dj is human and not just a jukebox.
as someone earlier said, just make sure you only ever have one track's lows playing at once. cut the bass on one of them so it cannot interfere with the other. find the right place to then swap them over within half a second, maybe during a part where a beat is missed on one of the tracks.
i recently did a dj mix on cubase and because the beats were so perfectly synced i found this cancelling effect happened on almost every transition. so i decided to sidechain compress the kick on the outgoing track to a kickdrum running at the same bpm. this worked awsome during transition cos then you get to cut the kickdrum but keep the lows from the bass. |

what happens is you get the beats matched well and the basslines cancel each other out
how to combat this is to have your mix slightly off
if you're starting to notice bass cancellation, give the platter a little nudge and you're good to go
i find that mixes with bass cancellation, you have to baby a little more
