Neil Barnes and Paul Daley, inspired by house music’s many facets formed the production team of Leftfield, working with several artists who were at the cutting edge of dance music. Leftfield were famous in the studio for their remixes of such artists as Adamski and Detroit house legend Kevin Saunderson’s Inner City project. In 1991 their first single, “Not Forgotten” was an instant club hit heard around the world, trademarking their production work on a simple, but cutting edge dance track.
Barnes and Daley signed to Outer Rhythm Records (a subsidiary of Rhythm King, home to Bomb The Bass, S’Express and Baby Ford), and released another single called “More Than I Know.” As the recognition and credibility as producers became apparent, Leftfield received even more remix work from Guerrilla Records band React 2 Rhythm, David Bowie, British pop act D:Ream, and later on remixed Renegade Soundwave, Ultra Nate, Yothu Yindi and Stereo Mcs. Leftfield also took to producing a ragga singer named Djum Djum who released a record on Outer Rhythm with Leftfield called “Difference.”
At this point in 1992, it was evident that Leftfield had enough of a following to put their money where it would best be used, their own record label to promote other artists with the same ideas as theirs. Taking the name from their production alius, Hard Hands, Leftfield began to sign various acts further promoting the bass-induced, rhythmic and dubby-house Leftfield were growing famous for. Their first release was the first Leftfield record on Hard Hands, a track featuring Earl Sixteen on a ragga-vocal called “Release the Pressure.

If you're into Leftfield, you might enjoy BudNubac. BudNubac have a Cuban ifluence in their sound, but definitely have some of the same 'full immersion in the album' feeling that you get with Leftfield. BudNubac is a music project by one of the guys from Nightmares on Wax, so you can see why it might be worth a listen. http://blancomusic.com/que-se-yo

Every time I hear these two albums it takes me back to when I first heard them. It makes the future look just a tad bleaker since there will not be any more of those. I miss Leftfield.

Afro Ride ought to be inthe top tracks peeps! Its an underrated dancefloor masterpiece! It was in wipE'out" (1995) in case your wondering. B-side on the Afro-Left EP and on the bonus disc for Leftism :D

Anyone hear anything recent about them? Does anyone think we will EVAR get another LP? Even anEP or random single would be awesome, anything new! The airwaves these day need all the good artists there are! Music charts have been in a shambles for the better part of this decade with all the best bands hardly ever releasing new material :( Heres hoping we get something soon!
