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.

This week Riz La Teef stirred up a pot of UK garage; GAIKA kept the Carnival vibes going with his politically-charged mix of sound system ammunition; Philly-born grime and bass music ambassador Dev79 dropped a 40-minute mix of low-end thunder; Londoner Heléna Star (pictured) gave us an intense session of heart-racing club bangers; and, finally, Birmingham's Low Steppa did what he does best with his latest mix of bass-heavy house cuts.

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