  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) and the Nitrogen - Trip Hop Sources From The Past-compilation with Placebo and Michael Bundt for Compost Records. Vol. III of his Glücklich series is freshly brewed! He also compiled with Gilles Peterson "Talkin' Jazz III" for Talkin' Loud and a new compilation "Root Down 99" for Nuphonic Recordings.

His record collection offers us many well known groups like Die Fantastischen Vier with sampling-material for their albums. Now, after a 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). His 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 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), Extended Spirit, Nitin Sawhney, Miyazawa and others.

Rainer Trüby is also an internationally well known DJ. Rainer digs so deep into music, that he got much much respect from UK-DJs, club-runners and promoters. He is regularly booked all over England (Blue Note, Bar Rumba, Brighton Jazz Bop, Phönix Festival, Jazz Cafe) and the rest of the world! In February '98 he did a Japan-tour. And if he's not on the road you can find him and maybe one of his fine guest DJs like Gilles Peterson, the Into Somethin' Crew, Fauna Flash, Kruder & Dorfmeister, DJ Die, Ben Wilcox, Patrick Forge, Russ Dewbury, 4 Hero or Simon Lee (Faze Action) at the turntables in his own club Root Down in Freiburg, crossing the boundaries between retro and future jazz, funky beats, jazzy house, brazil, boogie tunes and drum & bass.
Gilles Peterson chose Rainer Trüby as his favourite DJ in his personal Top 3 DJ-Charts in DJ Magazine and Muzik in Dec. 98.
