Bierheld. A well done mix on most respects. I think my only remark is that I didn't like the last couple of tunes went into a progressive house route, almost trance to a certain degree. There is some of that idea in the Wild Pitch style that DJ Pierre evolved but not that much.
Ziptnf. This is going to be a story, so bear with me. Your mix sprung a memory in me from one of Ishkurs mixreviews from 10? years ago or so. He used to review mixes that DJ's would send him physically and one of them was a Happy Hardcore mix. Ishkur wrote something about the playing HHC that I think is true in most respects but really hits on point with genres where most of tracks are epic and ultramelodic.
What he wrote was that there are two ways of playing Happy Hardcore, either you bang on with one tune after the other or you try to include some extent of subtlety and/or some tension and release. Just try to fight the notion of just banging on one big tune after the other for 60 minutes. I did the latter on the eurodance mix that I did for this challenge a few years ago where it seemed on the surface that I was just banging on tunes after another but I took it down and up at key points even though there was 30-odd tunes in the mix.
And what I'm going to say is while I really liked the mix in the sense of that there were really good music displayed, but it really was just bog ol' anthembashing.

I have tracks but have yet to put them together in any kind of coherent way.
