I've been waiting for this one for at least 6 months, I hope it's as much of a stomper as I'm expecting! Don't let me down! 
The first track is a little more laid back, but you pick it up very quickly with the next track. The transition to your 2nd track was interesting, it was like you muted the incoming track when the beat dropped. I think Phanatic is a great producer, this track is pumping pretty hard. That new album of his is pretty banging. I dig this Absolum track, pretty cool stuff here. Transition into Candy was smooth as hell, good work. This track is pretty cool, nothing sticking out to me just yet. Switch is another great producer, lots of energy and interesting synths in his tracks. I'm waiting for this mix to reach out and smack me in the face. Big Bad Mama is on now, this track is pretty intense, that's what I'm talking about! 40 minutes, I think this one is the Mad Hatters track. 45 minutes was a bit of a surprising transition, it kinda jumped out at me but the flow was just fine. The next two tracks were decent, nothing special. Now the moment I've been waiting for, the Xerox and Magnetica track... VERY full-on, that's what I'm TALKING about! It's been ages since you have played anything with this kind of energy. This last track is quite full-on, I love it! A tad cheesy, but great nonetheless.
Excellent work, a lot of the mix was very psytrancy and pretty powerful like you were setting me up for. Lots of cool tracks, and the flow was good. The mixing was solid and you made no mistakes.
However... I felt like some of the tracks left a bit to be desired, and that the middle portion wasn't as strong as it could have been. The last two tracks were the best out of the whole mix in my opinion, and I know your goal wasn't to make the whole mix super full-on, but I think if you would have thrown in a few more powerful tracks, the mix would have been more cohesive. The buildup was very good and you slammed the mix home at the end. The mixing was a bit confusing at times, sometimes I wasn't really sure what you were doing with the outgoing track. You would drop the volume a bit quicker than I would normally expect.
That being said, I think the mix was pretty damn good overall. If I had to rate it, I'd give it an 8.5/10. Nice job, kr00t0n!
