国籍：英国 成员：Neil Barnes 、Adam Wren 、Sebastian Beresford 团体人数：3 成立时间：1989年 简介：Leftfield is a British electronic band formed in 1989 in London, England. From 1989 to 2012, Leftfield was a duo of artists and record producers that consisted of Neil Barnes and Paul Daley (formerly of The Rivals, A Man Called Adam and the Brand New Heavies). In January 2010, Barnes resurrected the band name and having toured the world for a couple of years is now writing new material for a third album. Daley has declined to be involved and is focusing upon his solo career. The duo were hugely 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 and Underworld, Leftfield were notable for their use of guest vocalists in their electronic music. Among the more prominent 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. The term progressive house was coined to define their style, a fusion of house with dub and reggae. 从艺历程：Neil Barnes began his music career as a DJ and percussionist. In 1986, he played in the bateria at the Notting Hill Carnival. Inspired by Afrika Bambaataa, he started producing electronic music in 1989, releasing "Not Forgotten" and "More Than I Know" on Outer Rhythm. He collaborated with percussionist Paul Daley, whom he had previously worked with, on the remixes. Their mutual interest in electronic music led them to form Leftfield after Barnes left his contract with Outer Rhythm. Daley was involved in all of Leftfield's work until the band split in 2002. During a legal dispute with their label, they did remix work for various artists, including David Bowie, and finally released their single "Release the Pressure".
