And always remember Hi and Lo pass filters are you friend, especially in dance music.

And also, once the bass/kick/vocal groove is happening mix at low levels. As you start putting in the other tracks if you start loosing the bass or kick when the control room volume is low then you'll know it very quickly.

Hope that is of some help.
