Downloading now, I'll review in depth later. 
Edit:
I don't know, maybe I'm getting used to any sort of intro in the mixes, but this one does not have one, that is a point less from me, but that is just a matter of personal taste, so don't take it as it was just wrong not having a little introduction.
1) This song I liked is really banging, at least you started with a good track to keep me playing it, oh no, it was the first three minutes, then it became too happy, too cheesy. Transition from this track to the next is pretty good but you gotta have the volume of the upcoming track lower than the track playing until is time for the upcoming track to play alone.
The perfect mix is obtained when you can not tell when the beat of the upcoming track is being crossfaded, that is obtained in many ways, just like I said or fading the second track at full volume but having it with the bass ratio decreased, so the two kicks won't sound like they are fighting each other.
2) Nice track here, really hard trancer, and this one is not cheesy at all, good choice.
Beatmatching from this track to the next was average, like I said before, you can tell when the kick of the next track is being played.
I know is hard, is something that myself find sometimes hard to accomplish.
On a side note: the overall quality of the mix is really poor, sounds like it was converted at 92 Kbps instead of 128.
3) Third track is nice, just too happy and again too cheesy again, I don't know, there are several hard trancers that keep their hard oriented essense without being necessarily cheesy, casual clubbers won't find anything wrong in that, this kind of mix for commercial uses is just fine, but for hardcore ravers, this mix wouldn't do it.
Let's check out track 4.
4)Not track 4 but the entire mix is clipping constantly.... maybe is it overcompressed, I say because I hear clipping in this mix, and the only reason for that , is that you use compression in your mixes, could be something else?
I wouldn't compress the mix, basicly because the oroginal tracks are already compressed, the only thing you need to do is volume leveling.
This track is banging...
5) Damn this track sounds like Eurodance...
Plus clipping is heard all over the place.
6) Look at number 5...
.....
From this point I really lost interest on keep playing it.
Final Word:
A) For commercial parties:
The selection of tracks are good , casual clubbers will find your set quite enjoyable, if spinning for radio, definately don't edit your mix compressing it, at least not, if you don't really know what you are doing.
B) For raves:
The selection of tracks are poor, you won't get good reviews posting it here at TA, for the simple fact this community is all about harcore ravers , listeners, we hate cheesy tracks, and we don't quite enjoy them at any situation.
So, you must first train yourself on selecting songs according to what kind of party or streaming you are going to play them.
