I keep the fader same as when I mix EDM (I don't use the other type of crossfader curve, I have a xone 92) and when i'm transitioning from one track to the other, I slowly put the xfader in the middle and increase the volume of the outro track's channel (with the upfader, not the gains) so the levels are the same.

Then just quickly bass swap and make the mids of the outro track a bit softer. Sounds perfectly fine to me.

Try Justin Timberlake - Sexy Back and mix that to Akon - Dangerous.

Yeah, I don't personally enjoy listening to Top40 Hip-Hop but I have to spin them lol. thanks for the tips bro and thanks everybody else for your opinions.

not much equing is needed outside of mixing in the low end. i usually drop the track with highs and mids at 12oclock and the low end either killed or pretty low (i hate when people play hip hop with 2 bass lines at full blast). I kill the low on the track im mixing out of like a beat or two before the end of a chorus or verse and turn the low on the track im mixing in to 12oclock (quickly). meanwhile im using the fader to fade the old track out and the new track in (quickly). once you get the hang of the quick mixing it gets a lot easier.

also echoing out, backspinning, and scratching into tracks are some other methods i use.

EQ the bass is good. On the same note you can use a HP filter to mask the song you're mixing into. Make sure you tune down the tremble on the current deck though.

If possible, can you explain how you EQ' and use your fader so your mix doesn't like it's drop it volume. I'm just trying to see how other Hip-Hop DJ's does it and see where I can learn or did wrong. Any examples or tips would be greatly appreciated!

I dj hip hop!
