Latest mix from yours truly!
It's not my best work, but I had to get something out there after a long hiatus.

Trackselection is pretty solid imo, not bad.

The melodies of the 1st and 2nd song are clashing rather heavily from 2:59 to 4:47 though, same with the 2nd and 3rd song from 5:35 to 6:38 although not as noticably.
Either try finding finding sections with little or no melody (intro/outro if the song has one, sometimes buildups), cut/swap melodic elements by using your eq (a sloppy method, doesn't work that often) or, the best option, choose songs with compatible keys to begin with using this handy little diagram and a software that recognizes keys, or your ear.

Regarding levels, Bonfire's buildup is a bit too loud. Also, Alex S.' track doesn't seem to be as punchy as Arcien's remix, so the switch between those two tracks is (disregarding keys) noticable if you listen closely. I can't try it out myself right now but maybe try playing Life As We Know It a little bit louder to make up for it. It isn't that obivous though and other than that the volume of the mix is okay.

Wow, I didn't expect such a huge response!
Thank you for your criticism, as I really appreciate it; even moreso, thank you for that diagram! It'll definitely come in handy. Your assistance means a lot to me and I am excited to hear from you.
You da bomb.
