Ok, good work guys. The flow energy on this mix by far my favorite of the previous mixes. It gained it's own character and effect very well. I think these free-for-all ones are the best because the only criteria for the dj is that it sounds good and that is easily universal, heh.
01. Cape Town - Proglifter (Original Mix) [MoN-SooN]
excellent choice for a starter. pretty popular track and there's no mystery for that, such a great trancey vibe with one of the best builds in a track I've ever heard. The quality sounds great now thanks to Mr2gti.
02. Zirenz - Edge of Space (Whiteroom Remix) [plaxx]
Excellent choice here! goes perfectly with Proglifter! But when Mr2gti had to switch the intro track it sounds pretty obvious that in the transition. too bad but I think it's the best we can do at this point. doesn't ruin the mix by any means.
03. Gerry Cueto - Blue (Luke Terry And Chris Shepherd Remix) [Psychotron]
Sick track choice again! SICK SICK SICK! love this track and it brings the mix from a spacier vibe to a more present energetic feel good vibe. This track reminds me of old school tracks a bit. LOVE THE BREAKDOWN! Great choice. Three excellent tracks to start off with a wonderfully trancey and enetertaining way.
04. Flashbang - Grooveslide (VDM Mix) [RX]
Quite a change of pace here. As to be excpected from RX/Mr2gti. This time it was welcomed tho. Haha. Seriously great track builds off the feel good vibe of the previous while it breaks the monotony very well with it's more techy, bouncy vibe. And the breakdown reminds you that it's still a trance mix.  nice track
05. Grand Resonant - High [Evelon]
Great classic track here. Good choice to build on the existing excellent vibe, while taking it into more serious and driving territory.
06. Paul Kalkbrenner - Keule (Original Mix) [DJ Nickazz]
Interesting track here. This track emphasises the techy direction of the mix and is a good overall filler type track.
07. Morax - Out Of The Blue (Original Mix) [Stevieboy32808]
Great mix here Stevieboy. Soothing trancey track with a heavy tech element. It's sort of a filler type track as the previous one was. But my use of filler does not connotate 'negative'. My definition consisits of a track that builds the flow well and creates atmosphere but doesn't stand out on it's own. Not a dancefloor killer but very necessary. Anyway there is a whole debate on this somewhere on TA. I think it's in the Mode Hookers - Breathe thread. 
08. Liquid Overdose - Fearsome Bass (Original Mix) [Belgian Bonzai]
Track choice isn't exactly my cup of tea but it works well and diversify's the mix very well. The transistion is the best part though. without that awesome transition the track wouldn't have done this well. I really didn't like that last little breakdown in the track so I sortof blended my track over it. hope you don't mind. 
09. Ekon - Existence (C-Quence remix) [DJ Metatron]
The track I had to transition from was a bit difficult for me. But, I think I managed to do pretty well. I always like a good challenge. In fact, not to gloat or anything, but I thought it was one of the better sounding transitions I'd ever done.
10. Mark Norman - Brasilia [The Freezzz]
Haha, funny. I almost used the Anthiphus Mix of this. Great track choice. I thought the transition was a bit off though. The beats were a bit off, not too bad but the levels I thought went down a bit too much. I think if you kicked up the levels a bit it would've sounded great. I think you said earlier that my track had varying bpms. Not sure how that happened. Sorry. 
Oh and the blip is still there. not a big deal.
11. The Digital Blonde - Legato [isoterra]
Great track choice isoterra. Love this track. The quality went down quite a bit though here. Probably because the track is so old. Does the job for me though and again, great choice. 
12. Above & Beyond - Can't Sleep (Signum Remix) [MoN-SooN]
Sick track. Didn't know about the Signum mix. Love it. It does kinda let you know how bad the quality is on the previous track though, heh. Love the vocal on this one and the mix by signum works excellently at the end here. Awesome.
Overall, I love the character of the mix. It holds your attention the whole way through and has many diverse and interesting elements that really worked well together. The quality is a bit of an issue still, I think it has been a running theme so far. But its to be expected witha a project such as this.
But I think that those of us that have been doing this for a few or more of the mixes are getting better at working together and making an impressive mix.
Great work guys. And MANY THANKS to Mr2gti for hosting and being the mastermind behind it all.
