Excellent track selection, great vibe, energy maintained throughout — all the features of a great live DJ set.
Not much to say here except, show your beatmatching skills more, as opposed to merely transitioning between records (sometimes you do that too quickly). By the way, You should’ve brought Man in the Mirror in much sooner.
You’ve got the beats, the skills are mostly there, now show a little attitude (use hot-cues to layer sounds together, or you could loop a record’s intro with the outgoing record for effect, try using the beatmasher–but use these FX sparingly).
In general: keep it in the mix longer! But mostly, keep up the good work!
Audible key change at 17:20: watch out for that. If you’re on Traktor, how about setting your mix to master tempo? Stick to one BPM throughout your mix AND your song’s keys are maintained even if you’re out of the song’s intended tempo.
