We all have different reasons to love Rainer. 'Everything' by A Forest Mighty Black is just one of them. A truly sublime track that tells you everything you need to know about him. You know sometimes the way folkies like Kittser, Glen or Mundy, sometimes sing a really quiet song to grab your attention? That's how 'Everything' starts. It builds from a gentle place into an insistent piece of music, which only elicits one response. That is to dance. Less can be more. Less allows you to fill in the gaps yourself. You can dance between the spaces. A Forest Mighty Black is just one ickle ickle bit of what Rainer does but you can get the message from that one group.

He's also the dude who slapped together those mind-bending 'Glucklich' Brazilian tip compilations which feature all those cute Volkswagens on the cover. Volkswagen used to be the link between Germany and South America. As the last Beetle rolls off the production line in Mexico that job now falls to Rainer. He rocks Brazilian with a euro sensibility. He's also Gilles Peterson's favourite deck man. What could be wrong with that?
