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.

We've all been going a bit stir crazy lately, what with all the terrible weather. So, this week, the tempos are a little higher and things are generally just a bit more frantic. 1forty founder Lockt turned in a heart-racing mix of grime, funky, bassline and garage; Radar Radio's Amal Omari put together a celebration of female artists in her R&B selection; instrumental grime producer JT The Goon put together 30 minutes of his own wild and varied productions; Throwing Snow, a producer whose eclectic output has spanned countless BPMs and subgenres, pulled together an energetic collection of  dark and fast beats; and jungle and bass underground expert Sully did what he does best with an hour of raw, nasty breaks.

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