if i have 50 cent - they burned me (84 bpm) and drake - like i found you (84 bpm), there is absolutely no difference beatmatching those to fake blood - fix your accent (129 bpm) and erol alkan & boys noize - avalanche (129 bpm).
regardless of genre, they are near identical bpms.
you can find a slow progressive house song at 85 bpm (sasha) and 128 bpm (tiesto) the same way you can find 85 bpm (dre) and cee-lo (128).
first, learn how to do it with similar bpms. then, practice.
that really should have been the only answer in this thread - practice.
once you know your gear, and you know your music, you will learn the shortcuts on how to match.
maybe its grabbing the last 16 beats on an outra of a hiphop song A at 85 bpm, then loop it. let it loop for 1 minute, 5 minutes, who cares. then grab the intro 16 beats on hiphop song B at 128 bpm. loop it, let it loop. now slowly bring up the tempo of hiphop song A, and keep bringing it up until the beats are syncopated with hiphop song B.
once you learn where you are, where you need to go, practice how to get there and all will be good.
