Listen: A series of DiS Mixtapes + Win a BlackBerry Torch

For the past six weeks, DiS has been running a special competition in association with the folks at Mixcloud to celebrate the launch of the BlackBerry Torch.

We have been compiling a mixtape each week and with 1 week left of the competition, we thought it high time we compiled them all in one article. To enter our mix lovers competition, to be picked at random to win a BlackBerry Torch and £100 to spend in Rough Trade, all you need to do is share any of the below Mixcloud mixes on Twitter or like them on Facebook.

We've also been asking you to make mixtapes to some suggested themes and loads of you (and bands like Metronomy and worriedaboutsatan) have already submitted your mixes. In our mix makers competition, the top 10 most listened mixes will go into a final round to be judged by the DiS editorial team, and the best mix will win a Pacemaker (an awesome pocket-sized MP3-player-like DJ device). You have one week left in which to make your mix and enter it, just remember to tag it DiSis10, like these folks have done.

You'll find lots more info about this competition on Mixcloud, here.

Here are those mixes DiS has made over the past few weeks...
