Not bad . . . but 'every type of dubstep'? Really? You seem to have excluded pretty much anything pre-[In-For-The-Kill-Gate] and the whole dubby end of the spectrum entirely. Just atmospherics and grime style.
First mix - in the first mix the beat is off and the Skee-lo accapella is completely off bpm and beat. Tune selection is nice but lashes between atmospherics and grime with no real transition other than one fading out so sounds a bit un-natural.
Second mix - Absolutely badboy. Love the mixout of the tutorial tune in particular [only showing for the dub crew though and even then it descends into grime, naughty naughty!] Quality up until She Said . . . then it goes a bit wrong. Loving this one though.
Third mix - just scanned through the mixouts, mixing isn't as good as the second one, a lot of them feel really un-natural (mix into Cragga for example and especially mix out of Got 2 Know). Again some really decent tunes in there and a lot more thought out ordering than the first but not a patch on the second mix.

All in all, saved, faved and followed ;) will be looking out for the next one!

Cheers for the support, I don't really have any good mixing software at the moment and only one vinyl deck :s but yeah the next mix I'm working on is going to be improved heavily gonna try and get stuff from Benga to FuntCase and Rusko to Phaelah (:

But yeah cheers for the feedback at least I know where I'm going wrong now

Not quite dutty dutty dubstep but made me grin, just a bit of a mashup.

Traktor and a set of UBS Midis [Numark Omnis]
Can't afford traditional gear like but to be honest, yet to find any problem with em other than the occasional look of disgust when I tell other DJs my setup cost about as much as a single deck :P
