Grab two Skazi cds...they are almost all on 145 bpm..then try to figure out the 32 beat..you know like, after the last big break, hit the first beat of the new track (cued previously),start up to include the highs of the new track and work forward with the mids and at least insert the new bass..
if you like to choose other tracks remind the 0.7=1bpm guideline and enjoy mixing.. 
good luck!

lol
here is my guideline for beatmixing/matching for starters
LEVEL 1
first of all i suppose you have a lot of ORIGINAL cd's
many of those have dj slips with bpm's.
If you have some progressive with dj slips even better.
Choose two tracks with same known bpm (if you have prog choose those cause slower bpm is easier)
mark up first beat on track you are mixing and after that start other track.
then try to get these beats matched, after week or two u get this going u can move to next level.
wich is to choose any two track but keep bpm's close like -/+ 2 beats (at this point you can choose tracks with beat range +/- 3 beats and play them without looking bpm's)
LEVEL 2
searching right bpm
cue CD1 track to first beat and put CD2 on play. then hit on CD1 on beat and get it matched. after its matched listen does it keep on beat, if not adjust + or - from pitch and now u can remember 0,7 rule
after a while u start to hear do you have to adjust + or - but at first u can just try both ways if difference goes bigger aka it gets faster out off beat you are going to wrong way.
at first i used to cue back to first kick everytime i made adjustments but now i keep it on beat all the time during adjusting.
now this level u have to practise a lot and after you master it u have completed beatmixing

I suggest for the beggining, not to use any "rule", sort of speak. i.e:
Place Track A you wish to play. Then choose Track B you want to mix in.
Find Track B cue spot (first beat you wish to enter).
When you have it cued, play both tracks together, and monitor Track B by + or - at pitch (+ if it's slower than Track A ; - if it's faster than Track A).
Don't forget to use jog to forward/rewind it a bit to place them together.
When you feel they are kicking at the same time, you've found you CUE SPOT!!
Just wait for the time you want Track B to start playing, hit it, clean the Mids / Highs like you wish, and switch the Low (Baselines) when you want.
I usually use breaks to change the Baseline. For mids and highs depends.
I think this is the best to start learn.
Cause if you learn how to beatmatch and mix only using your ears (no BPM counters etc) you find the rest just add-ons.

i think the first step to mixing is learning to listen and appreciating all forms of sound without cribbing and calling it names like "shit track", "crappy tune" etc
Be open to everything
and its okay if you dont know how to spell
but its not okay if you dont know to put a spell on people  When death comes to your doorstep, make sure you are alive |
