By now, Mike Jedlicka’s Optic Echo Presents mix is an annual tradition. As the year wounds down to the end, so does the music that has graced our ears. For the third consecutive year, we are proud to share OEP Best Vinyl of 2013, a curated selection of vinyl-only releases. This year’s final showcase features many of the shared favorites which will no doubt make it to HC’s Best of 2013 lists. We hope that you enjoy this final mix and we wish you a very Happy New year!
