Nice little mix, a game of two halves really. The first half was very much progressive trance and I knew and enjoyed almost every single track already, quite a few I own myself. After Exosphere it changes tack and goes in a more techno direction, although thankfully more funky tribal fare than the dogshit that passes for "hard" techno in 2024.
There's two pieces of feedback I'd give you. Firstly, go for longer - especially if you have plenty of tunes you left out! You cover a lot of territory here in 70 minutes, from a proggy intro to peak time trance to techno, and it felt like a bit of a whistle stop tour. Secondly, I felt like the real climax of this mix was Exosphere. Going heads down into sweaty techno afterwards is fine, but you want to finish on a high, not a percussive workout. Again, if the mix was longer you'd have more scope to do that.
