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.

Martyn and DJ Voices kicked things off this week with their dubby voyage through their record bags; Jamz Supernova upped the tempo with frenzied selection of dancefloor scorchers; Butterz head honchos and grime encyclopaedias Elijah & Skilliam gave us an exhaustive history lesson on grime's second wave; East London selector Tailor Jae turned in a frantic mix of everything from Wen to Slipmatt; and, finally, Danish selector Smokey turned the energy levels up to 1,000 with an hour of intense club heat.

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