BIOGRAPHY
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 – V) and the Nitrogen – Trip Hop Sources From The Past-compilation with Placebo and Michael Bundt for Compost Records.
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 DJ Kicks together with the Trüby Trio on K7.
His record collection offers many well known groups like Die Fantastischen Vier sampling-material for their albums. The Trüby Trio also 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 first Trüby Trio album “Elevator Music” was hitting the stores & dancefloors last Summer (2003). It´s been very successful all over the word, and manifested the groups top position in the first league of the leftfield music biz. Guests on the album are Wunmi, Marcus Begg, Concha Buika & Joseph Malik, with whom they did
the famous “High Jazz” contribution to their “DJ Kicks” compilation earlier.
The relase of the album was also accompanied by a worldwide DJ Tour,
including Japan & U.S.A.!
Latest auditions to the catalogue of Trüby Trio remixes are including Nicola Conte feat. Rozalia de Souzas´ “Fica Mal Com Deus”, Miyazawas´ “Tango For Evita & Che Guevarra”, and Wagon Cookins´ “Mar” (Appetizers). The Trüby Trio has also contributed a track “Donaueschingen” for The Future Sound Of Jazz Vol. 4 and they have done remixes for Peter Kruder’s Peace Orchestra on G-Stone, Bebel Gilberto on SSR, Frederic Gallianos´ “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. Japan), Extended Spirit “Solid Water” Remix, (Sonar Kollektiv/Dialog Rec.), Yasushi Ide “A Certain Peace” (-, Japan), Nitin Sawhney “The Immigrant” (Outcaste/Tommy Boy). The Trüby Trio remix of “Food For Thought” by Kim Sanders made it to the pole position in the German Club Charts.
Rainer Trüby is also an internationally well known DJ. He started deejaying in his hometown Stuttgart in the early 90ies. He´s a “Travellin´ Man”, regularly booked all over the World! And when he’s not on the road, you can find him at the turntables in his own legendary club-night “Root Down” @ Waldsee in Freiburg, crossing the boundaries between retro and future jazz, funky beats, deep house, brazil, downtempo beats, drum & bass & contemporary electronic music.
