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, DJ P Montana heralded his upcoming Nsuo mixtape (due August 26) with a generous portion of Amapiano grooves into his usual Afrobeats and Afroswing palette; Afro-house standard bearer Kitty Amor explored the genre's potential to stir the soul with a session that came with a focus on South African talents; producer, selector and host of Apple Music's Jackfruit Radio, TSHA served up a bassy and exhilarating hour of melodic house bubblers (including a flat-out perfect Whitney Houston remix); Retribution Recordings top dog Abramovič put together an hour of shadowy dubstep selections to split your speakers wide open; London-based Slick shredded the boundaries between grime and drill for his latest mix; DJ Oblig invited Mez into the studio to celebrate the release of his One Uncle EP with a quick riddim-riding session; dBridge, the multi-genre master and founder of Exit Records, paid tribute to the nightclub as a cultural institution as well as showcasing the many facets of D&B that continue to inspire him; prolific radio selector Josie Bee whipped up an exhilarating combo attack of euphoric hardcore, intergalactic jungle and sugar-rush breaks; London via Leeds selector No H took a break from her usual garage sounds for 60 minutes of hurtling D&B stompers; and finally, Mixtress sent us reeling with an adrenaline shot of D&B and jungle soaked in brain-fizzing bursts of sonic colour and untameable rave energy.

*Special mention should also go to Kasra who has put out a mix of unreleased Critical Music gems from the label's roster, proceeds of which go to The Trussell Trust and Black Lives Matter.

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