Rainer Trüby

Rainer Trüby is a former member of Germany's internationally well known Compost- project A Forest Mighty Black from Freiburg in the Black Forest. Diggin' in the vaults of his huge record collection he compiled the fantastic and still in-demand European fusion compilations Glücklich (Vol. I, II, III & IV) and the Nitrogen - Sources From The Past-compilation with Placebo and Michael Bundt for Compost Records. Vol. IV of his Glücklich series is freshly brewed! He also compiled numerous compilations, like with Gilles Peterson "Talkin' Jazz III" for Talkin' Loud, the compilation "Root Down 99" for Nuphonic Recordings and the just finished DJ Kicks together with the Trüby Trio on K7.

The Trüby Trio just did a remix for the Turntable Rockers ( aka Hausmarke and Tomilla of Fanta 4 ) on Four Music. After the split with A Forest Mighty Black, he has enforced and developed his own project on Compost called Trüby Trio (which is in fact Rainer Trüby with Christian Prommer & Roland Appel from Fauna Flash). Their style is somewhere between jazz, brazil, house, boogie and downbeat. The Trüby Trio has contributed a track "Donaueschingen" for The Future Sound Of Jazz Vol. 4 and have done remixes for ’s Peace Orchestra on G-Stone, Bebel Gilberto on SSR, Frederic Galliano's "Plis Infinis N° 2"(F-Communications), Tab Two's "Belle Affaire"(Virgin), old Latin jazz genius Bobby Matos' "Guiro Electro" (Ubiquity /USA), Louis Bacalov „La Seduzione / Nago“ (Right Tempo), Miyazawa “Anjos Irmaos“ (Afro Sick Rec.
