by Rob TheakstonThis installment of the outstanding DJ-Kicks mix series highlights the talents of the German-based Trüby Trio, spearheaded by DJ Rainer Trüby. The collective have assembled a wide variety of crucial tracks that are highly representative of the future jazz that is not only amazingly accessible for newcomers to the sound, but will also have beatheads scurrying for the obscure tracks at the local record shop. Trüby and company gracefully start off with laid-back Afro-beat rhythms and pick up the tempo with a subtlety that is uncommon for mix CDs, peaking with the Afronaught (aka Orin Walters) masterpiece "Transcend Me." The crew ventures into deep house territory before bringing the intensity down again for the conclusion with the help of Compost labelmates Fauna Flash. An outstanding mix by some of today's most creative electronic musicians and producers.
