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, legendary grime selector DJ Mak 10 showcased his favourite Afro-house bangers; South African duo Rudeboyz gave us the best of what Durban has to offer; Boko! Boko! party starter Juba followed suit with her own snapshot of the South African gqom scene, mixed in with kuduro, R&B and more; Glasgow's Ruda got slow and low with her hour of dubstep, grime, breaks and beyond; Anna Lunoe gave us a rundown of some of the party anthems that kept her raving through festival season; and, finally, The Playaz lynchpin Taxman slammed his foot to the pedal with his mix of bone-crunching D&B and jungle.

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