See, unfortunately I found a few things.
You seem to have in several transitions minor problems with the beatmatching as there are: 04->05; 06->07; 07->08
The EQing is well done except for 2 incoming tracks,
04->05; where 05 seems to be a bit too low
08->09; where 09 is too loud
The thematic structure is very nice with a dark/proggy development to the somewhat uplifting "Carabella". "Azure Coast" now, in my opinion, just doesn't fit into the story. It's too mellow. May be you should have let come "Heavens Caliber" now. That seems to be better to me.
The now following transition to "Jaabeurs" is ok, but the melodies don't really combine, they more fight against each other, but it doesn't really matter cause the change to a harder/techier groove is more interesting.
Now you got a real flow, which is just a pleasure to listen to till the well chosen closing tune which sums up the whole set very well.
at last two little tune orders may be you could try:
1.)your set without "Azure Coast"
Galen Behr Vs Hydroid - Carabella (Galen Behr Vs Orjan Nilsen Remix)
Kenidel Lopez - Heavens Caliber (Manuel Le Saux Remix)
Ronald De Foe & Paul Miller - Jaarbeurs (Arthurk & Mac C Remix)
2.)may be even better than 1.)
Galen Behr Vs Hydroid - Carabella (Galen Behr Vs Orjan Nilsen Remix)
Ronald De Foe & Paul Miller - Jaarbeurs (Arthurk & Mac C Remix)
Kenidel Lopez - Heavens Caliber (Manuel Le Saux Remix)
then the part 10+11+12 directly afterwards

Hi mate!!
Sorry for taking so long to reply had a busy couple of days! Thanks alot for checking out the mix! I'll have another listen back tonight in work and take on board your feedback. One thing i will say tho about the order's you have choice is you need to take into consideration clashes and i'm preety sure a few of them in that order would of clashed, but i'll have a look.
Of course you're right, but the suggested tune order was just a feeling of flow. I actually haven't had the opportunity to test it. I may also be totally wrong in my choice, who knows.
