D/Ling now will listen

The tracklist seems fine, none of them really stand out as being particularly good or bad to me, but they're cohesive and do a good job of presenting a musical 'picture'. I actually quite like the picture you're creating as well.

As far as the technicallity of the mix, I've noticed a lot of beat-repeat/supatrigga type effects early on and I don't think they've been used as well as they could have. When you breakdown a part of a song that's less than 4 bars or so, it throws off everyone's dance step (more than 4 bars and it throws everyone off too, but at least they realize it's a breakdown). That's not to say they're overused or bad stylistically, but on these tracks they kill the pace, and make me stutterstep a little before I realize what's going on. Remember how very used everyone is to a nice steady 4/4 kick. I might try something like setting up your own operator kick that you bring in to help cover for the kick that supatrigga is mangling. That way you can breakdown and beat up the song pretty heavily without throwing off the step of the less musically inclined among us.

Otherwise I think this is a pretty good mix and I'd be much happier to hear this out at a club than most of the stuff going on in my neck of the woods.

Wait, am I hearing a lot of groove in the last transition? If I'm hearing what I think I am, you should turn it up to %100
