Beanfield is a duo of German musician/producers allied with the excellent groove label Compost Recordings. The two members are Jan Krause and Michael Mettke. The group resides among a generation of dance acts like Faze Action, Fila Brazillia, and A Forest Mighty Black (the latter are close compadres) who balance their status in the electronic community by producing extraordinarily organic sounds, inspired by earthy '70s sounds from funk to latin and Brazilian jazz to disco.
