First Demo

Hey everyone, I finally put my first demo together since i started bedroom DJing late this summer. I know its not perfect and please feel free to critque as I am trying to get good enough to start DJing in a club. Maybe I'm making mistakes that are easy to fix or something.

Its only 30 minutes long but I asked around and was told 30-45 minutes for demo CD's, if there are any tips on making a good demo please let me know. I tried to get the point without forgeting some buildup.

Well, well. The mix 02->03 is just amazing. Those tracks really work together.
Unfortunately the beatmatching isn't good at 03->04. I'd like to here a perfect version again, with a bit less bass in 04.
04->05 had a little hick-up in the beginning, but somehow you saved it. The last transition was perfect in my opinion.
Your mix has a very nice build-up. "Black is the Colour" is a sweet spotlight in this tech-/electro-house ensemble. All in all, very nice! I'd like to hear a full hour or more from you.

Btw.: Your mix gets some more melody and speed with the end of the last track. So maybe you could change again in style to a even more danceable/proggier style. But this is just a matter of taste. Creative development is the key for an interesting set.
