"No one does it like Naive Ted. The masked turntablist and producer is a Dr. Frankenstein of sampling – a creator of monstrous, abrasive hip hop and punk beats who fuses chopped and screwed percussive limbs, grizzly melodies and bass guts to irresistibly heavy effect." (The Quietus, Sept. 19)

"a chaotic but constantly exhilarating listen... have a dig through his formidable back catalog. We promise you, it’s all pure cracked and pure class." (The Thin Air, Sept. 18)

"The highlight of this year’s Open Ear festival was Naive Ted’s wrestling/turntablism / live hybrid assault on the senses late on the Saturday night. Some folk didn’t have a clue what was going on while others were accidentally clocking each other in the back of the head with flailing limbs – it’s just the way it goes sometimes. Death of Me was the finale; a warped, tricky and wholly unique blend of techno, hip-hop and 70’s prog rock." (nialler9.com, Dec. 17)

"....positively bananas, as old-school skratchology (meets) a truly eclectic range of samples before being thrown, full-force, at Steve Reich-esque experimentation and being thoroughly deconstructed accordingly." (Village, Sept. 17)

"From co-founding Galway’s Community Skratch games, being a member of the Vince Mack Mahon scratch super-group to making some seriously innovative music... a cornerstone of Irish hip-hop and electronica for over a decade." (Rabble, Jan. 18)

"The whole thing is an alternative audio riot"
(Nialler9, Album of the week, Irish Times, July 2015)

"No presumptions or fucking around here, just some great samples from all over pop-culture, dextrous turntablism, and a command of crowd control from behind the decks comparable to the luchadors he patterns himself after."
(The Thin Air, Feb. 2015)

"heavyweight beats which smack you around the chops and make you stand up straight before capsizing you all over again"
(Jim Carroll, Songs of the Week, Irish Times, June 2015)

New Album Out Now - This Is What We Do

Leftfield have been at the cutting edge of dance music since the 1990s, releasing albums that have become some of the most influential electronic records of all time around the world with their debut LP Leftism being widely regarded as one of the most boundary-pushing electronic LPs ever released.

Originally comprised of Neil Barnes and Paul Daley, in 2010 Barnes reignited the Leftfield name, and went on to release an acclaimed new album (Alternative Light Source) touring the world with the full live band, with a string of sold out shows.

Neil has also been cementing his reputation as a top-tier DJ and record collector unleashing modern dance floor weapons, selling out clubs / venues, headlining festivals and creating some amazing nights with his sets. Leftfield is a name synonymous with quality and Leftfield DJ Sets are exactly that, allowing Neil the chance to show the depth of his musical knowledge and select the best tracks to take you on a journey.
