you right, i didn't, i tried, but it's a bit difficult judging that while the track is going with the risk missing the transition, sometimes we need to think faster, well, what i am trying to do is smooth transitions, it's a style i like, not dropping the next track suddenly or doing a really fast transition as big dj's names usually do, and i hate to repeat the mix again with the same tracks over and over, first take and done.
but anyway i thank you for your advises and tips dfx
Hello Picco, thanks for the fantastic set! I'll not spend much words on the track selection because it was massive! Lots of favourites and even some new ones to me came to my ears
Really enjoyed it yesterday! 
But maybe I can add a small hint to what's written already by DFX...
I think you composed the tracklist in advance precisely, which track would fit behind which other track, because the transitions aren't bad qua harmony in general
Random picking tracks can easily destroy transitions... Thats why I'm actually never making a set out of the blue 
But when you did this maybe it's good to spend a very little time more and set cuepoints in VDJ before you mix the whole set... Thus load the tracklist in advance and determine the place where you want to mix in advance. Stop the playing desk at that particular point and hit button 2 or 3 (under hot cue) there. (Not 1 because when putting the track up it automatically starts then at cuepoint 1.) Just below the track title you then see a white flag occur and when playing you'll see the cue coming up, such that you know where to start the next one. Is only for remembering thus
Well... Actually VDJ helps in fact a little bit in determine the place where to start a next track... Look e.g. at the following image:
You can mostly immediately deduce from the track structure (if it's mastered well) where the important points are. It's not always a guarantee (there are also exceptions but they're rather few... ) E.g. the track Steve Anderson - Neve [Instrumental Mix] which actually fits well behind this one (with some necessary nasty looping tricks) has a different starting structure. This may confuse you in determining the cuepoint in this track, which is actually set here correctly.
In this track you started the next one at 64 beats + 4 bars = 80 beats from the arrow in the image. Although it's a better place then at 76 beats from the arrow it is better to have it just at 64 beats from the arrow
Maybe it's a good advice to have a very techy track as second in which happens almost nothing but is built up in the right structure as measure staff, with which you can easily deduce if you've putted the cuepoints at the right points. Don't use the fader then but listen just what happens and if everything changes on the right moment. Keep trying!
After all I'm very glad to have listened to your set! Really
after !! And you know, we write these advices only to help you up to at least next the stars! 
Actually I must confess that I'm sometimes deliberately a bad boy in this... It sometimes gives a funny effect when not mixing at k*64 beats from the end, but at (k*64)+32 beats from the end, lol
