Listen to some other mixes and just copy what they do. Basically, you want the bass of the next track to come in when the riff finshes on the track that is playing. That's not the only way to mix Hardcore but would be a good starting point for someone learning.

Okay, look :
Each track consists of these things :
Introduction ( Beats, most of the time NO Bass, maybe some samples )
Introduction 2 ( Beats, Bass, Samples.. )
Breakdown ( Quite part with Lyrics, Piano, etc.. )
Mainpart ( The mainpart with the melody of the song )
Mainpart 2 ( Same/Almost same thing, sometimes different )
Breakdown 2 ( Like the first breakdown, a bit different )
Mainpart 3 ( Mainpart again, with the original melody )
Outroduction ( Beats, Bass, Samples.. )
Outroduction 2 ( Beats, most of the time NO Bass, maybe some samples )
The best thing you could do now, is take a FULL track ( you will recognize it by it's beginning, if it start "quiteley", only with simple beats, this will mean it's a full track ) and then analyze all of this parts in the track. Just look at the list above while listening to it.
Okay now next step.
Let's say you have 2 full tracks. Both of them have the same "sheme" as above ( the thing with intro, outro, mainpart etc... ).
Play the first track. Get the second track ready. When the Outroduction starts, start the second track. Put all the bass on the first track. When the second Outroduction comes switch the bass the the second track. That's it. Easy, ain't it ?
PS : Some tracks have a pretty short outro, and that's why you will have to mix the second track directly in the 3rd mainpart, after the 2nd breakdown. You can also "quick mix" it, which means you mix the second track after the first breakdown, into the first mainpart.
But try it with the outroduction first ;)
Hope this has helped =)

great starting point? research beat counting so you can understand the structure of all music (hhc and non).
watch some youtube vids on how to beatmatch (how i wish this was around when i was learning).
really, you shouldn't have much trouble. once you get it, it's easy, like anything. you just have to put in the time.
