Can someone recommend a good mixing engineer?

I just finished my latest trance track and my ears cant take it anymore.. I would like to hire a good mixing engineer to mix it professionally. Can someone recommend me someone good? Preferably someone that has mixed for well known clients would be the best. Thanks guys

As an alternate approach:

One of the habits I have gotten into is that whenever I finish writing a track, I always put it on the shelf for a month or so, to let myself "forget" the track a bit before going back and attempting a mixdown. This allows you to come back to the track with a fresh approach and fresh ears.

Pretty good idea

What happens though, when your not in the mood and you never get to mix it down? That happens to me quite a lot.

If you're not in the mood and never get to mix it down, then find something you do love and you do feel like. There are many wonderful ways to spend your time on this earth. Making trance tunes isn't the be all and end all. Don't struggle with not feeling like making music. Work out exactly why you want to make it, whether you're prepared to put in the time and effort to improve your skills, in a consistent, goal-directed manner, not just "whenever you feel like it". You need to work out your priorities, how important music production is to you.

Doesn't really happen to me. A lot of my tracks are remixes that have deadlines. I'm obligated to finish it because I promised someone I'd do it, so it gets done. Are there times I don't "feel" like doing it? Sure. However, there are just sometimes you have to do things you might not want to do, so I just do it.
