Hi,
I once saw a diagram showing which tones would mix well which other tones.
Does anyone know where I can find this, or something similar.
Also, how do you decide/know what tone a record play at in order to work out what tones would go with it?
Cheers for any help

Look up something called "circle of fifths"
It gives you the related musical keys.

Mixmeister Software at mixmeister.com (now owned by the same company as VDJ) will analyze the key that can be applied to the circle of fifths.

I don't know anything what's called tonal mixing, but my guess is it relates to music, tones, chords, frequencies:
Music: get a basic music lesson and learn about chords. Tones which mix together in a pleasant result create chords. For example C-chord is created by C, E, G, so you probably can mix well G into C.
Physics: two sounds mix together well when their frequencies are nice multiples of each other. For instance F1=1.25*F2 or F1=1.33333333*F2 or F1=1.5*F2 or F1=2*F2
When you multiply the frequency by 2, you get the same tone in higher octave. Each octave has 12 halftones. But the relation is not linear but exponential. So each halftone will multiply the frequency by 1^(1/12).
The line of tones is C, C#, D, D#, E, F, F#, G, G#, A, A#, B, C,...
You see the the distance of C and G is 7 so the frequency is G=C*(1^(1/12))^7=C*(1^(7/12))=C*1.498307077
Wow what a luck...it is almost 1.5
Hehe enjoy...
