Boiler Room's Sofie is quietly building a reputation as a gifted selector smashing the genre boundaries. If you've ever caught one of her sets at Boiler Room, or if you caught her on NTS recently, you'll be starting to get an idea of what she's capable of. Here we get a cool-as-all-hell collection of hip-hop, jazz, soul, and a few different shades of electronica thrown in for good measure. Tuck in.

Ahead of his appearance at Together's Ibiza Reunion on Oct. 10 at Ministry of Sound next month, Kicks & Snares boss Roska has put together this mix of weighty house music with plenty of bass. Roska will be playing alongside MistaJam, Zinc, Kry Wolf, Kayper and Jack Beats.

Suzi Analogue's Never Normal Records could well be one of the most underrate labels going. Analogue's knack for curation, not just in the music world, is pretty remarkable. Everything from the label's output to her Instagram account is thought out and presented with absolute care. This mix from Chi-town legend DJ Earl is just another example of her ability to bring out the best in the artists she works with. So stop sleeping on DJ Earl, and stop sleeping on Suzi and Never Normal. Seriously.

As a founding member of Buraka Som Sistema, Branko put a tremendous amount of work into championing the various sounds coming out of his home country of Portugal; chief amongst them, the bass-heavy and utterly wonderful sound of kuduro. Recently, Branko released his debut album Atlas, a project that took him to Cape Town, New York, São Paulo, Amsterdam, and Lisbon as he collaborated with and showcased the best new talent each country had to offer. This mix acts as a kind of taster of the project, shining a light on some of the artists he encountered on his travels.

Doc Scott, otherwise known as Nasty Habits, is a legendary figure in drum & bass culture—and with good reason. He played an integral role in the foundation and success of the Metalheadz crew and has been a firm favourite among DJs and ravers alike ever since. Ahead of his appearance in Fabric's Room 2 next Friday, alongside LTJ Bukem, Klute, and Dom & Roland, he's put together this rough 'n tough mix of snarling bass lines and dirty breaks. Very, very nasty.

Once known for his links with Chicago's Teklife crew, New York-based Lil Jabba's becoming increasingly known for his unparalleled abilities as a selector in any style or genre that takes his fancy. Nowadays his music defies classification and challenges listeners to drop any attempts at pinning him down. Here, for Mixpak, the Australian producer takes us on a tour through a wealth of his own productions, mixed in with everything from Wiley to Aphex Twin to Young Thug and beyond. If you really needed a reason to check out his recent Keep EP, this is it.

Some deep, dark and moody techno from 50Weapons and Rush Hour affiliate, Cosmin TRG.

2015 has been remarkable for year for BMB Spacekid. He played a jaw-dropping set at Boiler Room Moscow in April, swiftly followed by a collaboration with headliner and hip-hop sovereign DJ Premier, and he even featured on Dr. Dre's Compton album. Now that he's dominating on an international scale, 1Xtra's Jamz Supernova drafted him in for a guest mix which featured Dre, Snoop, GoldLink, Denzel Curry, and of course a few of his own beats. Where he'll go from here is anyone's guess, but rest assured it'll be stratospheric.
