I think in the future, when we do this, if we want a good DJ mix, we'll have to set a few guidelines in terms of keys and BPM.
IE. All tracks need to be in C, F, G, Am, Dm, Em, and within +-2 of 130 BPM

Here's my 30 min take. I haven't listened to the other ones yet. Sorry for chopping up and rearranging several tracks, but I had to do it to make them fit. Also, sorry for leaving a few songs out. Don't take it personal, I only had 27-30 min to work with. If you guys want me to, I'll make another version of this mix with the missing tracks.
Overall, this was a challenging project because the songs were all over the place. I tried to not make it a produced mix that was too obvious. I wanted more of a live feel to it.
Any and all feedback is welcomed. I'll let you guys know when the mix will air and where to tune in.
I've got to mention the radio processing though. I hope this mix won't go through another round of processing at the radio (or that you use the unprocessed mix there) because sending a mix through radio processing twice just kills it entirely in a negative way. The mix itself is overprocessed as well in my opinion, and I don't say that too often as I don't mind a lot of (radio-esque) compression but it is fairly heavy in this recording.
Furthermore I feel like the mix could benefit from some more-abrupt mixes. I think some of these mixes are smeared out too long.
Sorry for the negative response but I thought it was important to stress the above. On the other hand I have to say I think your track selection is very well done considering the variety and small selection of the music.

Please elaborate more.
I'll upload another copy with no processing at all.

I hardly know how to. I literally skimmed through with the first listen this morning. I just feel some transitions might sound better if they were shortened. But now that I've been listening a bit more thouroughly I see you've done some really quick transitions in there too :). I personally think most of those sound better since the music is so varied.
