Bevor then Beanfield, the munich-based project of Michael Reinboth, Jan Krause and Tobias Meggle (check his own label Hinterland Records at www.hinterland-records.com), give you another rare and unique microcosm. Nourished by ancient elements of Rare Groove and Latin Jazz from the Old School into a modern, urban Electro of thier own. Conjuring up aural images remiscent of Jurassic-style monster movie soundtracks, the human melting-pot of New York, and the mystic exoticism of the Brazilian Jungle, Beanfield fuse musical skill with analogue & digital technology - all on top of a thick layer of funky grooves - to create the freshest sound you will come across for a long time.
Listen to the absurdly catchy "Planetary Deadlock" (vocoder courtesy of Boris Geiger), or the experimental electro-jazz of "Green Angel" (containing a Wurlitzer solo by Jazz-pianist Till Sahm). Whichever track you turn into, you will encounter BEANFIELD’s highly individualistic mix of sublime noise fragments woven into complex webs of global beats. And watch out for the haunted video to "Planetary Deadlock", a creation by underground filmmaker Klaus Tartler in which he combines various video formats to create a unique, intricate set of images which perfectly capture the surrounding musical landscapes.

DJ, music jounalist and author Michael Reinboth is the founder, head A & R of Compost and Compose Records, and has been the brain behind three highly regarded club nights in Munich. Jan Krause, ex-apprentice of Jürgen Koppers (Godfather, with Giorgio Moroder, of the Munich Disco Sound. Producer of Donna Summer a.m.o.), is a sound-engineer and doubles as bassplayer of the world’s most famous rare-groove band Poets of Rhythm. Keyboard player Tobias Meggle, a respected composer/arranger and producer, was the key creative force on the late Patrick Gammon’s (Tina Turners Keyboarder) last album. Together they have arranged, produced and mixed several albums and 12-inches for Compost including Four Ears, Knowtoryus, DJ Linus, Kristo, the first two A Forest Mighty Black singles, Taran, Moodorama, and many more...Besides, their remixes for Kruder & Dorfmeister’s project Tosca, for Kosma, Tinbalada, Eric "IQ" Gray, as well as MC Solaar’s "Nouveau Western" ,the Mighty Dub Cats and Sofa Surfers, are internationally acclaimed. Thier very first release, "Charles" - probably the only dancefloor record ever to be played regularly at both 45rmp and 33rmp - received excellent review in both the German and the international music press. Beanfield are currently working on a number of projects, including film soundtracks and the Disco project Moon Machine which is out on Compose.
