Leftfield

Leftfield is a seminal name in the electronic music world, revered for pioneering the fusion of dub, breakbeats, and house elements that has influenced the emergence and evolution of progressive house and electronic body music. Originally a duo formed in 1989 by Neil Barnes and Paul Daley, Leftfield became a prominent force in the 1990s dance music scene with their groundbreaking debut album "Leftism" released in 1995, which not only garnered critical acclaim but also helped to define an era of British electronic music.

Over time, the group faced the ebb and flow of hiatuses and re-formations. Daley left the group after the release of their second album "Rhythm and Stealth" in 1999, to focus on solo projects. Barnes continued to carry the Leftfield name, producing music and performing as Leftfield without Daley, ensuring the act's enduring presence on the electronic scene. As of their more recent work, Leftfield has maintained a focus on sonic exploration and collaboration, evident in their contemporary releases such as the gritty and driven track "Headache," which includes a feature by the iconic George Clinton and the remix prowess of Daley post-Leftfield. The list of releases showcases an evolution of sound that is both a nod to their roots and a forward-looking approach to electronic music, with "This Is What We Do" underscoring their continued relevance and innovation in the genre. Whether through remixes, original productions, or collaborative efforts, Leftfield's enduring legacy is a testament to their role as electronic music luminaries and their unwavering ability to resonate with audiences across generations.
