Finally new DJ-Set

It's been a while since I've finished a new mix but finally I managed to finish one. I'am pretty pleased with the mixing but I seem to have a problem with the recording settings. But if someone want's to give it a go I would be very pleased with it. So give me some feedback guys. It would be appreciated.

Downloading now, tracklist looks hot.

Edit: Track selection was great. You're right about the recording, it's at a very low bitrate so it makes it sound shitty. =\ Some of the tracks you brought in too loud and it seemed all at once, but they were matched perfectly. Look forward to another mix, but higher quality please.

Mixing is pretty good - I enjoyed it.
The bitrate is low, although the mix is recorded much too hot. You're hearing much more in distortion than the washy artifacts of the low bitrate. The average level of a mix should be around -14dB or so. The average level of this mix is -9dB! There is no headroom, the bass is being crushed against the ceiling giving a lot of distortion. I would just bring down the recording level a bit and avoid hitting 0dB at the input meter on your recording device. Also I would pay a lot of attention to gain matching the tracks against each other so there aren't any level differences between the tracks. It sounds like you're doing a decent job of playing the low eq of each channel to help blend the kick drums and stuff during the transitions.
Good luck.
