Interesting tracklist!

I'm downloading this now, I'll let you know what I think when I have had a chance to listen to it.

I love that mix of Exactly, It goes off everywhere I play it.

Ok I have had a listen.

First thing I want to ask is, How are you mixing this? what tools are you using? How long have you been mixing?

Ok, with that out of the way I will give you my constructive criticism.

While I was listening to your mix I absolutely loved most of the songs. Some I didn't agree to, but that's because my taste differs to yours.

One thing I did notice was that your phrasing was out. For an example, tracks are created in a bar format.

Lets say 64 bars to a phrase And you're mixing away. A great tip I found was that usually your cue is 1min 30secs toward the end of the track. Only use this as a guideline as some tracks vary from 1min to 2mins. You will learn quickly that the 2 tracks will fold onto each other so that it sounds like the one track, breaks and all.

After you have mastered phrasing your selected tracks you need to improve on your beat matching. Keeping time with both tracks is essential to drive the set along.

Also one thing you should watch as well is your volume levels. I found some tracks quiet and others over powering.

Another point I might as well make to you is that if a bass line is in a different key, try not to mash them together. Avoid clashing at all costs. Clashing of keys is not nice.

As for the track selection; The tracks molded well together, it worked out to progress nicely. You have a good understanding of what tracks should follow.

All through my learning I used the people around me to learn, and I used their constructive criticism to my advantage to become better and more consistent.

I hope I have helped you a little. The mixing wasn't horrible, It does need improving though. I have heard worse :P
