Can't really tell cos it sounds really compressed, but are you turning the bass down (off if your mix has this option) on the mixer of the track your mixing in, can't have 2 basslines running at the same time.
are you mixing using software? CDJS? Vinyl?

right then since your using traktor you really need to learn about proper mix composition.. you need to know your tunes, when the breakdowns are, when the drops are, how long to leave a track in the mix, when to start mixing a new track in, everything happens in 4/8/16/32 bar seqments
so goto the mixes section and download some and LISTEN to what the dj is doing
then get yourself a hair cut

yeah this shows definitely, it's the first thought i had when i heard it.
IMO invest in some decks, CDJs or Serato Scratch live.
