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, Japanese DJ/producer KM of Frank Renaissance served a mixture of unknown rap gems and re-contextualised hits in his new mix; One Bok and Nammy Wams went B2B for a session that draped the UK underground in an unsettling blanket of dystopian futurism; UK funky legend DJ MA1 took part in a Club Djembe takeover on SWU.FM with an energising hour of Afro-house and Amapiano; Razzlerman served up an hour of Tribal house goodness; 1Forty boss Lockt celebrated the return of the dance with a mix of grime, bassline, UK funky and garage; Manuka Records co-founder Xakra served up a horror-leaning session of dubstep chuggers; Amaliah spun together snarling breaks, searing mid-range and a whole cocktail of sounds that veered between grimey electro, techno and jungle; Italian selector Frame jumped feet first into the ravey, almost euphoric end of the D&B spectrum; Josie Bee connected with new gen junglist Coco Bryce for a well-balanced and at times melodic new mix; and, finally, TSVI introduced us to the chaotic power of his new obsession, Gorge.

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