Between SoundCloud, YouTube, Mixcloud and everything else, it can feel like we’re being overwhelmed by an impenetrable, almost 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 house music, grime, techno, bashment, R&B, trap, D&B, Amapiano, and no doubt a bunch of stuff that doesn’t have a name yet.

Dive into TRENCH Radio’s best mixes of the week below.

For the latest in his long-running Y3NKO! series on Oroko Radio, Ronnie Loko celebrated 65 years of Ghanaian independence with a mix focusing on all the myriad sounds coming out of the West African nation. From highlife to Afro-house to Asakaa and harder-to-define sounds, he’s also included a few gems from UK producers both from the diaspora and inspired by it. Listen out for homegrown heaters from KG, Juls and Kojey Radical, Scottie Dee and an inspired remix of Schoolboy Q’s “Man Of The Year” by Hagan.

This week saw Utopia founder, radio presenter and selector Jaguar return to her old stomping ground at Mixmag’s Lab. The homecoming set features stormers from Chloe Robinson and DJ ADHD, AK Sports, and perhaps best of all an edit of Paris Hilton’s masterwork “Stars Are Blind” by North East DJ/producer Meg Ward.

A lifelong friend of the UK’s various strains of club and rave music, Jubilee’s been a vocal advocate for grime, garage, jungle, bassline and the rest for as long as she’s been on the ones and twos. She was slipping grime into her sets right in the earliest days of the sound and her enthusiasm for the UK doesn’t seem to have waned any in the year since. This latest one, recorded for Brooklyn’s The Lot still has a lot of UK stuff in there, but it’s really a global set with a heavy dose of electro, finding common ground between that and 140 bouncers by the likes of Killjoy.

Just today (February 3), p-rallel released his latest single, a smart-talking garage bouncer with guest MCing from KAM-BU and BXKS. Channeling the rawness of early So Solid it almost felt like a snippet from a vintage pirate set. There was plenty more of that in store for those who tuned into his NTS show this week. As surefire a party-starter as it gets, expect bumpers from Scott Garcia, Interplanetary Criminal, some classic Mosca and some more house-leaning picks from Jamie Jones and the Martinez Brothers

This week, Boiler Room has been running a massive festival in Amsterdam. Wednesday was reserved for their System series with a lineup of D&B and jungle, but the following day was 3rd Space, which focused on the overlapping worlds of gqom, grime, funky, and anything with big, jumpy drum patterns. Next to sets from Tash LC, DJ N.K, and the rest, arguably the best of all came from Scratchclart when he teamed up with Durban-hailing gqom pioneer Menzi for a sweat-drenched power hour.

Spooky’s celebrating a landmark birthday in April this year and to celebrate he’s heading up to Birmingham’s Sector57 for a two-hour birthday set. It’s also 15 years of Croydon this year and he’ll be celebrating that up in Leeds this weekend. But ahead of all of that, he recently put together a mix for Manuka. As most of his sets are, it’s driven by grime but there’s also a bit of dubstep and a couple of other 140 sounds in there, too.
