SoundCloud (while it still lives) can be an impenetrable, infinite stream of music, often of varying quality. You need a soundtrack to start your weekend right, but you don't have the requisite lifetime to trawl through the week's new DJ mixes. To help you out, we've done the busy work for you. We'll be running this series every single Friday of every single week to bring you the very finest in house, grime, techno, bashment, R&B, trap, D&B and no doubt a bunch of extremely trendy stuff that doesn't have a name yet.

The Bank Holiday is upon us, as if you haven't been counting down the seconds, so we've gone slightly harder this week. Not only have we thrown in a couple extra mixes than normal, but our selections this week have veered towards a faster tempo, though we stopped (just) short of gabber and hard house. So, click through for some grime from Kenyon Sound affiliate JAKEBOB, some sleek bassline from Coil Records' Sharda, a very discerning collection of house and techno from Berlin-based selector rRoxymore, and, among other things, a tribute to the high priestess Grace Jones.

This is TRENCH Radio's best mixes of the week.
