i downloaded the mix you've got, some mixes were good, some needed a little work, BUT, in my experience, track selection is 50% of a set.. 20% is working with the crowd, and 30% is technical mixing ability. This set i really enjoyed, and infact there's a track in there i've been trying to ID for quite some time now :)
nice work, and never be hesitant to practice mixes for as long as possible, even if it sounds crappy, try to keep it beat matched as long as you can. Even see how long you can drag out a mix, for example... bring in the track to mix, and have low/mid/high turned all the way down (i never use a crossfader) then start with the highs, turn them slowly up on beat, then work the mids, then start to fade out the high/mids of the other track. then as you bring in the bass, start to slowly cut the bass of the other track. bass is the real catcher, it's the trickiest to bring in and be sneaky about it, although if you get 2 tracks that match well, and it's done just right, you'll get a big grin knowing what you just did.. mixed 2 records and no one in the crowd realized it..
cheers
