The Anticon label has left such an indelible mark on Hip Hop that the label has almost single-handedly created its own genre, fusing leftfield beats with guitar-led production.

Leftfield House was a term thrown around years back for house music that was a bit more experimental.

Even Allmusic Guide has it on their site:

It's just a bit more gay

left field means it sucks basically.

does it mean it uses lots of guitars and junk? i dunno..

leftfield is just a far better name for electronic music surely

Anyone who doesn't know the artist 'leftfield' need to fucking educate their selves.

why? its shit.

JOSHIER KRU 4 EVA

What happened to the band post-rhythem & stealth? Do either of the guys produce anything?

yeah, it just means it's something strange/unique/obscure NOT VERY FUCKING POPULAR like imdb.
