It's official - Summer Mix Series 2012 is officially closed. There was certainly no shortage of great mixes this go around but I do feel like with the popularity of Spotify, Rdio, Grooveshark and their ilk that the allure of sharing mixes has lost some of its luster. It's not a rarity anymore - it's a common practice. This is great for the state of music sharing but not so great for continuing to do the same ole same ole when it comes to the Mix Series. So, long story short - next year must be different or it must not exist at all. Just a heads up.

The stats for the series are highly ghetto - as views and downloads are based on page views and clicks, which can be faked in any number of ways. So, it makes sense that Sounds Vintage 2 is so high on the page because it was the first mix posted. That being said, it's also a great mix. Now that the series is over, make one last sweep through the submissions and make sure you grabbed them all. There's too much goodness to miss.
