About Leftfield

Originally comprised of Neil Barnes and Paul Daley, Leftfield’s legendary live-performances paired with seminal albums, 1995s Leftism and 1999s Rhythm & Stealth (both Mercury Music Prize nominees), solidified their position as true pioneers.

Leftfield returned with the acclaimed Alternative Light Source in 2015, before releasing This Is What We Do in 2022, to rave 4* reviews from the likes of The Observer, MOJO, Evening Standard and Daily Telegraph. The album was crafted by Neil Barnes with long-time studio and mix engineer Adam Wren, and features guest contributions from Fontaines D.C. frontman Grian Chatten, Lemn Sissay and more.
