Thanks for the reply!
About my mixing, what I generally try to do with the bass levels, is to almost kill it on the cued track, then gradually turn it up about 1/3, then at the end of a bar slam it in to a bit past normal while quickly turning the bass down a lot (not too much though) on the live track. You commented my mixing length, well, I try to keep the transitions as lengthy as possible, but sometimes I feel it really isn't necessary. In the future, when I get more comfortable with the decks, I'll really like to do the mixes in a more progressive way, if you understand what I mean (overally more like Paul Van Dyk's "Politics of Dancing" than the usual "fading" of two songs into each other). In other words, mix a bit more "hard-house-like" than standard trance-mixing, or at least try to be as creative as possible.
By the way, nice website! Totally agree with your opinion on the music genres you play, I quote Armin (or was it PvD) when telling people what I play, that is, "electronic dance music". Mostly all kinds of trance, some progressive/tribal house tunes and a bit of techno.
