I'll stick a list here of mixing styles i personally have had a little experiment with! Please leave any styles you have picked up (i personally wanna pick up a few new techniques too)

Break-to-break/intro
Pretty basic mixing technique, Beatmatch and sectionmatch both song's breaks, and if need-be adjust the EQ (usually bass, as conflicting basslines can ruin the mix). Then just fade from Song A to Song B

Bridge-to-break/intro
Play the break of Song B on top of the bridge of Song A. Then when the break/intro ends, just stick the crossfader over to song B

Bridge-to-bridge
This usually occurs when you have the lower tones of track A playing on top of the acapello's of B. Usually this is then followed by fading over totally to track B.

Bridge loop-to-intro
Loop song A during the bridge (usually 2-4 bars). Then you can play track B on top of that and drain the bass, this can lead to a quite nice build-up. But Song A usually has to be repetitive
