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, Canada-born Ayy Den warmed up the week with a blend of everything from Pa Salieu to Funkystepz to Missy; Leeds-born Bakey took us from garage through to dubstep, rap and jungle in celebration of his recent Shall Not Fade single; Colorado's BassTek took us on an hour-long voyage through all things bass; Bruk pioneer IG Culture served up a typically masterful session of off kilter, club-ready funk; Fade To Mind boss Kingdom spotlighted the women of drill with his latest mix; Oneman had us wishing he'd drop another Solitaire session with a cocktail of UKG, electro, breaks; Minneapolis-based selector Yasmeenah tied together an exhilarating, drum-heavy blend of club music from the global Black diaspora; Sisu Crew lynchpin Mixtress cranked the energy sky high with a relentless mix of jungle, hardcore and classic rave; Bristol's Hollie-May gave us a look at the best D&B badness her hometown has to offer; and, finally, Coco Bryce whipped up a non-stop assault of pure jungle power.

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