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.

Mr. Mitch kicked things off this week with an immersive journey through atmospheric electronics, squelchy acid synths and hypnotic rhythms; Manchester selector Hypho got deep and techy with his genreless, bass-heavy blends; another Mancunian, Finn, went B2B with New Atlantis boss India Jordan for three fun-filled hours of every possible strain of dance music; London club queens Jetsss and Liana (pictured) also went B2B, this time with a voyage through dancehall, rap, UK funky and various percussion-heavy bangers; Scratcha DVA blended the sounds of London and Durban for a heart-racing UK funky-meets-gqom cocktail; Basic Rhythm gave us a history lesson on the finer points of hardcore; and, finally, Slimzee went all-out in a sweaty, snarling hour of bone-crunching jungle.

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