Having played a crucial role in UK funky's ascendency, Champion's sound has since broadened to include house, techno, grime and all manner of bass music. This time round he's taken things back to the glory days of funky with this hour of power.

Champion Guest Mix for THUMP by Thump on Mixcloud

We'll let Jackmaster explain this one:

"It's a kind of Tweak-A-Holic 4.5 meets Mastermix 2015 (as I never managed to get tweak #5 done this year, sorry) but it also features a load of the tracks that have been more prominent in my sets this year that a load of people have been asking about, as well as a couple of forthcoming, unreleased Numbers tunes.

"Enjoy!!! And please join me in prayer that the Soundcloud Gods won't delete this one."

Hop on this one because the Bicep boys say it's their last one of the year. Look out for plenty of unheard and unreleased tracks, remixes and bootlegs from the fun-loving rave monsters.

It doesn't get more out there than Kid Smpl. This mix, as ever, is a glorious blend that flits between delicate R&B melodies, noisy walls of distortion, grime-inspired weirdness and hazy rap cuts. Definitely one for the late, late nights, this one would be ideal for a post-party unwind.

There's no real tracklist to speak of with this one from Sirr Tmo but, from the notes on SoundCloud, we know it features fellow Teklife DJs Rashad, Spinn, Traxman, Gant-Man, Manny, Earl and more. Here's Part 2, but sadly it looks like the SoundCloud gods have removed Part 1.

Founding member of kuduro standard-bearers Buraka Som Sistema, Branko has since forged his own path, traveling the world to meet and collaborate with musicians from every corner of the planet. This globe-trotting is glaringly evident in his music that pays little heed to genre boundaries with anything fair game as long as it sounds good. The same goes for his mixes, as the one below proves, with international club sounds all brought together harmoniously.

Still thoroughly on form, D&B wizard High Contrast delivers a mix of colourful D&B bangers, D&B takes on pop music like Adele's "Hello", '90s rave madness, ragga and a whole lot more. Naturally, High Contrast manages to balance it all out and tie it together effortlessly. Be sure to check the man when he plays at the UKF Christmas party alongside MistaJam, Flava D and loads more at Fabric on Dec. 11.

Crazylegs' influence in UK club music is impressive, to say the least. Whether it's UK funky, garage, techno, grime, bassline or more experimental sounds, the Bristol outfit have had a hand in it all. Moreover, they've released tremendously iconic releases on every front. No wonder they're still going from strength to strength.
