Leftfield

When: 1st June 2023
Location: Barrowland

Leftfield are one of electronic music’s all-time greatest acts. Coming to Glasgow’s Barrowland on 1st June 2023.

Leftfield were very influential in the evolution of electronic music in the 1990s. With Mixmag describing them as “the single most influential production team working in British dance music”.

As with many of their contemporaries, such as the Chemical Brothers, Leftfield were notable for their use of guest vocalists in their works. Among those involved were Toni Halliday on “Original”. Johnny Rotten on “Open Up”, Djum Djum on “Afro-Left”, and Earl 16 and Cheshire Cat on “Release the Pressure”.

Leftfield’s last album, Alternative Light Source, was released in June 2015. Following the Mercury Prize-nominated Leftism (1995) and Rhythm and Stealth (1999). The term “progressive house” was coined to define their style, a fusion of house with dub and reggae.
