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.

First up, 6 Figure Gang member and SZNS7N boss LCY (fka L U C Y) served up an appropriately-titled 'post-apocalyptic' mix; Plastician took us on another trip down memory lane with this hour of golden era garage; Poté spun together a whirlwind of percussive club heat; Nervous Horizon dons TSVI and Wallwork gave us the latest and greatest from their label; Japan-born T5UMUT5UMU stitched together grime, techno, and breaks to showcase his off-kilter vision; and, finally, the Swing Ting boys got our hearts fluttering with this smooth yet energetic hour of R&B with a club-focused energy.

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