House, hip-hop and bass, grime, trap and techno—it'll all be represented in our picks to get you warmed up for the weekend. So let us do all the hard work; click through below and enjoy.

Club Cheval's 'CC: Mixtape #1'

Club Cheval (l-r: MydCanblasterSam Tiba and Panteros666) earned their well-deserved reputation for forward-thinking club music and events long ago. As this mixtape proves, the foursome have a weighty arsenal of inventive, exciting and futuristic club bangers to deploy, and the collective shows no sign of slowing. If anything, they're going harder than ever before.

Jubilee's Mix For i-D

We've all been there. Just thinking about those humiliating, unanswered pleas for goodness knows what is probably making you cringe as you read this. Luckily, Brooklyn-based, Miami-born DJ and producer Jubilee has put this mix together to help take your mind off it. It's a pretty eclectic blend that takes in dancehall, grime, techno, Jersey club and more with each track themed around texting—which, when you really think about it, is beyond brilliant.

EVM128's Mix For Clash

For his latest mix, EVM128, responsible for "Strangers" from earlier in the year (a personal favourite here at Complex), has put together an inclusive and eclectic mix of some of the tracks and sounds that have inspired him over the years. From funk and soul to glitch, breakbeat and house music, it's all here and then some.

Nightwave's Mix For The Skinny

Another mix from Complex favourite Nightwave, this time featuring everything from Cardopusher to Prince to Armand Van Helden.

Prefuse 73's 'Narco Breakups' Mix For Hyponik

Known for his unique take on hip-hop and breaks infused with jazz, ambient and more experimental sounds, Prefuse 73 has released music under a variety of aliases (Delarosa & Asora, Ahmad Szabo, Piano Overlord) across a tonne of labels. This mix, which he prepared ahead of his headline appearance at the Lex Records-hosted Clock Strikes 13 last weekend, features woozy rap tracks from the likes of Cousin Stizz, Fetty Wap and Vince Staples alongside more abstract cuts from Nils Frahm and Empress Of.

Cowboy Rhythmbox' 'Outernational Flight Vol. 1' Mix For Self-Titled

A laid-back and experimental, but hugely danceable, mix of synth-pop, techno, disco and house music from London duo Cowboy Rhythmbox.

Thalab's Mix For Juicebox 2015

Ahead of the debut Juicebox show at XOYO on October 22, Barcelona duo Thalab have put together this mix of jazzy beats and groove-filled house. Look out for Toro Y Moi, a Koreless remix of Jacques Greene and some Maribou State. Head here to grab your tickets for the event.

Trinity's Mix For Pulse x V Movement

Rounding out our rundown of the week's best free mixes is this one from Trinity. Deep, dark and full of funk, Syndey's first lady of techno delivers an hour of driving beats to kick-start your weekend.
