Fat City Recordings and Prime Numbers present the much-anticipated album "In The Red" by Trus'me. Since the release of his blistering seminal debut "Working Nights" in 2007, Mancunian wunderkind Trus'me has been both dj'ing in the best clubs around the world and putting in plenty of late night studio sessions alongside some heavyweight talent. The result has been a rapturous dancefloor response to his eclectic dj sets, an impressive roll call of quality remixes (including LCD Soundsystem, Amp Fiddler, and Dabrye) and not least the production of his long-awaited second album "In The Red". "Working Nights" is regularly held up as "one of the finest deep house and disco albums to come out of the U.K in years", but this was just the beginning of the Trus'me sound. Since then he has become increasingly adept and inventive at taking on the sound system roots of reggae, soul, and disco, blending them with house and techno, to create a hypnotically radical sound.
In comparison to his debut album, Trus'me has collaborated with several vocalists and musicians on "In the Red". The album is undoubtedly more accomplished, leading to an organic, unabridged feel in the production and a more song based approach. Trus'me has certainly raised the bar, attracting some key players to appear on "In The Red". Dam-Funk and Stones Throw recording artist and L.A.'s rising star of the nu-boogie scene collaborates on a low slung interpretation of the WasNotWas disco epic "Wheel Me Out". Also on board is the jazzy Detroit innovator Amp Fiddler who is featured on two tracks including a bass & rhodes heavy cover of Bill Withers' bittersweet classic "Can We Pretend". Paul Randolph, Jazzanova's current front-man, provides vocals for a house'd up version of West Phillips' boogie favorite "Sucker for a Pretty Face" and Mahogani Music's longtime collaborator Pirahnahead lends his vocal skills to the title track "In the Red".
"In the Red" is released on Prime Numbers in conjunction with the larger label Fat City Recordings.
