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.

Kicking things off this week with something a little different, Optimo legend JD Twitch put together a mix of ambient tracks and textures to counter our ever-worsening anxiety; Addison Groove blended nearly two hours of snarling bass music; dubstep queens Sicaria Sound get deep and dubby with their selections; Bournemouth-based DJ and producer Warwick celebrated his new EP by mashing together a concoction of (mostly) his own garage, acid, electro and house music productions; 1Forty king Lockt gave us both barrels with a nearly three-hour voyage through grime, dubstep, UKG, house, Jersey club, UK funky and more; and, finally, Parisian DJ Moresounds dipped into the archives to serve up an hour of his own productions from 2014-18.

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