After 20 years since the last volume was released, legendary German producer and DJ Rainer Trüby (formerly of A Forest Mighty Black) has just released the sixth compilation of his iconic Glücklich compilation series, unearthing rare Brazilian-influenced gems old and new from around the globe.

Featuring 12 tracks in total, this incredible deep collection features everything from jazz dance and samba to soulful vocal cuts, Balearic and house grooves. Some of the many highlights include Jon Lucien‘s “Come With Me To Rio” (1983), A Bossa Elétrica‘s 2011 rendition of Roy Ayer’s “Everybody Loves The Sunshine” (“Sob A Luz Do Sol”), Trüby and Corrado Bucci‘s remix of Sonzeira‘s “The Mystery Of Man”, Jean-Marc Jafet‘s “Offering”(1985), and Grupo Ébano‘s “Pé No Chão”.

This essential compilation is already receiving heavy rotation on numerous online radio outlets from the likes of Gilles Peterson, Colin Curtis, Kev Beadle, David Patterson, Alan McKinnon and others.

Pressed in limited quantities on both black and transparent vinyl, the highly-anticipated release sold out in many shops within 48 hours of receiving the record this past week. The hype definitely matches the quality, as Glücklich VI is easily one of the best compilations of the year.
