I would assume this is an opening set but if not I would have fallen asleep in the club 
Most of your set was quite a bore to me with only two tracks standing out as a winner. All of your transitions were solid but I was confused as to what you were trying to do with the flow of the set. It seemed all over the place. With regards to it being "Abysmally Dark" I diverge. Tracks 4&5 were the only songs that truly gave the set a dark feeling.
1) Not bad to start off but seems to drag on
2) zZZzzZzZzzZZzzZ. Breakbeat
3) zZZzzZzZzzZZzzZ. Has some breakbeat in it.
4) 18:41 - Horrah! Finally a nice bassline to get things kicking followed by a nice drum tap.
5) 20:41 - AWESOME track !!! This track has that perfect deep, dark bassline With an atmospheric feel but just when I thought the set was picking up the pace the flow completely changes and loses that delicious deep dark feel.
6) 24:26 - Breakbeat. This track creeps in slowly with the highs.
7) Decent track. Some cool sound effects in this track.
8) zZZzzZzZzzZZzzZ. Breakbeat
9) Breakbeat remix of that Oakey choon I liked. A little bit of clipping but nothing too noticeable. Since I'm really not a breaks fan I didn't really enjoy it; vocals were good though.
10) Good track despite having a breaks beat to it.
11) Couldn't stand this track.
12) Couldn't stand this track.
13) Loved the vocals in this track but it had that "rock" feel to it with that annoying guitar. Too many percussions drowning out the song.
Conclusion:
Your mixing is XLNT to say the least, no problems there at all. However, all in all this set was far from being a winner (in my books atleast) because of my bias towards breaks. Generally however, your track selection and flow could use some work. I hope that you don't take my criticism to heart and know that this is personal preference.
I would appreciate it if you could have a listen to my latest set and give me some feedback. It's what I would classify as Deep, Dark, Dirty Progressive House / Tribal House with a trance edge and feel to it. I think you will enjoy it
