Mixing from 8A to 8A

How to mix this transition

Since both tracks share identical harmonic content, your blend can be long and gradual—8 to 16 bars is common. Layer the incoming track's elements (pads, strings, or melodic hooks) underneath the outgoing track's rhythm section before swapping the kick and bass. EQ the incoming track's low-mids slightly during overlap to avoid mud, then bring it to full presence once the outgoing track's drums fade. The main risk is sounding like a sloppy loop rather than a intentional mix move; anchor the transition to a clear phrase boundary and add a small arrangement detail (filter sweep, snare fill, or vocal chop) to signal the changeover.
