TRENCH Radio: 10 Of The Best Mixes This Week

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, Croydon FM resident Nammy Wams caught us up with the latest and greatest drill gems; the ever-excellent Shy One dipped into the rap, R&B and dancehall sections of her limitless record collection (with a few other bits for good measure); SBK Dubs (not to be confused with the Stevenage sheller) took us on a scenic journey through dubstep's atmospheric side; Bristol-based Guido kept it weighty with a mix of his own productions alongside the likes of Pinch, Hodge, Anz and the like; Tunnel Vision and Bad Girls Club founder Clarabelle spun together a jumpy half-hour of garage, bassline and dubstep; East London selector Eliza Rose mined the ever-reliable sweet spot between garage and house music for her latest session; Jessy Lanza gave us a sugar-rush mix of bass-oriented floor-fillers; Ikonika warmed us up for her impending Hollow EP with a mix that spanned everything from R&B to grime to techno; Ishaq (mostly) explored jungle's more experimental and atmospheric side; and, finally, California-natives Christian Williams (Xian) and Aaron Spasiano (Gaszia) showed us what they've been up to in the studio with an hour of wholly unpredictable club rowdiness.

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