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, Tyler C, co-founder of Sheffield club night Poggerz, dropped off a mix that meshed together everything from Shakira to bassline; Haitian-Canadian selector GAYANCE put together a soul-nourishing blend of rap, soul and Afro-Latin club sounds; A.G. masterfully found the sweet spot between grime, drill and Bollywood; Yung Singh introduced us to the glorious world of Punjabi garage and 2-step; Breaker Breaker Recs founder Haider fused electro, breaks, disco, acid, house and techno for his latest session; Bakongo, the DJ and producer formerly known as Roska, came through with a percussive, bass-heavy workout; London DJ Calm Stiege showed us exactly why he deserved to win the Resident Advisor and Point Blank music scholarship with a genre-mashing, sonic love letter to the UK's underground; Hyperdub favourite Loraine James took us on a voyage through drill, IDM, jazz, disco and more; New York's cry$cross dropped off an almost overwhelming cocktail of dancefloor thunder; and, finally, Nuvaman whipped up nearly two hours of dark and weighty D&B punishment.

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