Just my opinion....
Too much goin on and some sloppy transitions. You don't give any songs a chance to even start. Sounds like you just mixing intros with intros sometimes. Theres no desire to even listen to this to be honest. I wouldn't call this a party mixtape. Calm down with the scratching. Way too much scratching for a party mixtape and the scratching needs work. Play this at a party and it will probably throw some people off big time. Heard some vocals clashing too. I don't know how long you been doing this but work on your transitions. Please calm down with the scratching. I cant listen anymore, damn its getting sloppier as it goes on.

^^ what he said.
I get what you're trying to do...but just gotta practice more and clean it up a bit. The levels can be adjusted too. Some incoming tracks come in louder and kind of startles the listener.

ok, i see what you're saying... i'm pretty new basically, just started recording some of my mixes... i appreciate the replies definitely though as i'm always looking to improve...
as far as mixing, i wasn't trying to have many verses in there, was trying to avoid that... i was looking for intro, choruses, outros, etc.. i wanted to get in as many songs as i could in a short span... i don't know if this makes it any more acceptable but i figured i'd explain my thinking on that...
for scratching, i did a lot of scratching with my right hand cuz i'm trying to figure out different ways to mix it and make the mix sound interesting, but as you said, i think it's too much going on... i prefer scratching with my left hand, but all the scratching was something just to fill in with my right hand basically... it wasn't like i was going off saying, ima set this apart for scratching...
ok, as i try to progress, how can i make my transitions more exciting? i'm not trying to be ignorant, i've studied a lot on youtube, videos, etc.. that's my only source of learning, i'm the only dj who actually beatmatches, uses turntables in my area... everybody else just play from a cd player...for me, i'm so accustomed to just blending in every 8 bars or 4 bars, or just cutting tracks over...
now, after all that, i realize now it's not great, but isn't there some good i can take with this? any compliments at all?
