The year Swedish techno act The Field went large—2007—marked the peak of the brash new in-your-face electro movement. That didn’t stop their subtle techno outing on key German imprint Kompakt, From Here We Go Sublime, from becoming one of the underground dance hits of the year, with a 9.0 from Pitchfork and accolades from the NME and BBC. Following their 2009 Japan debut, The Field’s mastermind Axel Willner along with rhythm section, Dan Enqvist on bass and Jesper Skarin on drums, return for a night of hypnotic, acid-fueled beats alongside domestic Kompakt partisan Hiroshi Watanabe a.k.a. Kaito.
