Despite the fact that I can't stand progressive house (see above for reasons why), I decided to give this a listen.
Your mixing is really good (especially for having only 5 months experience), but it's really, really, really boring. If you're spinning prog house, you're already dealing with songs that don't do much. Try as much as you can to mix like a techno DJ, with cutups, edits, and anything else you can do to make the mix way more than just songs played without losing the beat. As much as you have good timing and technical skill, there's no single vibe being created and controlled. A mix should have a rise and fall of energy, creating a feel of having taken something of a trip afterwards. However, you're mixing too slowly for much of a vibe to be created. Even if the track selection was really great, the 3 minute periods of not much going on in between each track doing anything made it impossible to tell if the mix was going anywhere. Each track just rose and fell, none really going any higher than the other, which pretty much flatlines the whole experience and makes it boring. It's all in the timing. And, in the words of Ishkur, "unless you can get 15 tracks in a mix, don't call yourself a DJ".

Thanks for the feedback mate. I'll post a new mix up in a few weeks and it'll have at least 15 tracks in it this time ;)
I did that mix a few months ago when i was still very green. I've learned alot since then =D
Did anybody else have a listen?
