Here is my latest mix from this year. This is what got me to the Ultra Music Festival DJ Spin off finals which I won, and then went on to play at Ultra in Miami. Take a listen, tell me what you think! p.s. I was the ONLY trance DJ in the Dallas competition and the ONLY trance DJ in the DJ Breakthrough tent at Ultra....(Right Click to Save as mp3)

Not a bad mix, but I do have a few pointers for you.

Firstly, track selection. Most of these tracks are more than a few months old now. There's nothing wrong with that, but it's good to have a mixture of up to the minute stuff with older material.

Next, mixing. For the first hour at least, each track played for a long time, and the mixing was so long that all the energy was lost. I think the problem was that you want trying to mix (admitedly progressive) trance in a progressive house style. 12 tunes in 100 minutes is a pretty slow turnover, and I think the mix suffered because of it. You probably ought to try mixing more quickly, to the bars of the music. However, this did clear up nearer the end, and from the mix out of Aquarius, it wasn't too bad at all.

For all the competitions you might win with this, there's plenty of mixes in the forum better than this. Having said that, it wasn't awful, but there's certainly lots that you could work on.

Then why would you ask people to let you know what they think of a mix that you did when you say it obviously isn't how you usually put together a set?
