Mid-Side or M/S is a signal processing technique, not a 'mix' technique. You don't mix signals together using MS, but you might process signals, or even an entire mix track, using MS.

Processing in the mid-side domain allows you to alter sounds around the centre of the normal stereo image with some independence from those at the edges. By using an equaliser on the Side signal you can alter the perceived stereo width at different frequencies, and by using a high-pass filter to remove bass from the side you will constrain all the bass to the centre of the image, which is a technique employed when mastering vinyl records, for example.
