you've been DJin for 3 months? good beat matching lol you seem to have a pretty good grip on that side of mixing, but you need to think about the structure of the tunes your mixing. when you brought in 24/7 it was out of place, but considering what you said about this mix being spontaneous and you've not been mixing long it's alright. learn your tunes, understand how they're structured and most importantly practice and you'll be fine. i'll give ya a 6/10 
what equipment are you working with mate?

i don't mean the beats were out of sync or owt. i mean most uk hardcore is set in a certain structure. if you start the 24/7 record from the beginning, count the beats like 1,2,3,4 - 2,2,3,4 n so on. on the 16th beat (thats a full bar) the 24/7 sample comes in. then carry on counting and it's another bar until it gets to that little breakdown. and most uk hardcore tracks are like that, the track changes usually at the end of every bar. you brought "24/7" in halfway through a bar of the "stay" track - on the 9th beat. so it'll sound out of place. that's what i mean by structure. most uk hardcore tunes aren't all that different in the way they're structured. once you get a better understanding of how the tracks are structured you'll find it easier to mix them in and make it flow.
sorry if that's a bit technical lol, you'll get the hang of it
EDIT: when i first started mixing i saw a video DJ Sy put together and he explains the whole beat counting thing. if you can find that, or something like that, it might help a bit more than me trying to explain it in writing lol.

sounding good so far matey
EDIT: the transition on 24-7 could do with some more practice, it sound clashed with the tune you was mixing into!!

lol it really isn't that bad mate. but, even if it was, don't worry about it too much. you should of heard some of the shite i was coming out with when i first started - and what i'm pumping out now (still shite). you've got an advantage of having a pretty good set-up so, you can concentrate on practicing mixing properly and not spending all your time trying to cope with all the shit that belt drive TTs throw at ya lol.
btw, they always remove tracklists. think artists complain or whatever, dunno why though. it's promoting the artist really, can't see it having much of a negative effect like, but there you go.
