i've listened to them all but i can find a rational connection only between some of them, i've found some similar samples on a few tracks, which mix together really nice, but i really need some help.
i've figured that i want to open with
hybrid - visible noise.

All hybrid tunes are classic. Make sure u stick one in there, I usually find that the end of a mix is appropriate due the fucking impossibility to mix another track in

I havent heard all the tunes on ur list, but u got a Bedrock Mix in there and Spacefunk are always welcome

Have fun...

I'd start with some more or less techy / tribal tracks.. like the bassetti & accorsi and moshic ones.. and slowly work towards some more melodical stuff (chilling moments for instance, or burden)

i think visible noise is a good way to start too. as far as the transitions... don't worry too much about similar samples etc. i think one of the things that makes music interesting is when djs can take two songs that sound different and put them together. as long as you can match them that'll work... just worry more about what songs would sound good where in a set and not which go together.

i would do something along these lines.

Hybrid - Visible Noise
Shmuel Flash - Chilling Moments (Bedrock dub)
Greed feat Lesley - Strange World (Lemon 8 mix)
Moshic - Indian Moon
SpaceFunk - Evilmoogafooga
Moogroove - Duece (Mara Chooicide remix)
Flash - The Day After
Ekkoheads - Hypnotic Seduction
Hamel - Close (Evolution Ambient mix)

i don't know i could make this work hehee
and you never said how long your demo will be, that has a lot to do with it.

thank you for your posts so far,
the demo cd should be about 70 minutes,
i will try to mix some of your suggestions just for fun and see how it goes...

mr mystery

It's always tough to pick the right tracks and then decide where to put them in a mix. What I do (because I love the shit) is listen to each one numerous times and eventually you get a feeling of where something else can transition in nicely and continue the flow. Vague but true.

Definately agree with you. The more you listen to a track, the more obvious it's placing will be.
