not bad.
one thing i would suggest is organizing your mixes into verses and a chorus, with a breakdown, then back to the chorus, and keep each of the verses largely the same. What makes a lot of songs so good is the repetition, and that’s precisely what your mix lacks. You can chop up each song as much as you want, but make sure there’s repetition (even dj earworm will split songs all the way down to individual words)
the other thing i noticed is that it doesn’t have a very strong beginning or end. you want to start gracefully and end making the listener wanting more. (it didn’t really seem like you were even attempting this, so I’ll give you a break) don’t worry, this is a lot harder than it sounds.
Other than that, excellent beat matching and great song choice. keep it up!
my stuff is at http://soundcloud.com/zane . I’m just getting started too.
Idea is killer, execution needs a little work… Some timing issues here and there scattered throughout. Find a program which will allow you to time stretch and then match the downbeats, that’s what I do and it works out great. Plus you can adjust to the needed tempo and it still sounds natural. Again, right idea. Think the mix has a lot of potential, just needs some final touches again.
