'''Leftfield''' is an {{w|Electronica|electronic music}} group from the [[United Kingdom]], composed primarily of Neil Barnes and Paul Daley. Formed in [[London|London, England]] in 1989, they were brought to the attention of Transformers fans ten years later, when in 1999 their track "[[Phat Planet]]", from the album ''{{w|Rhythm and Stealth}}'', was used as the [[theme song]] for the ''[[Beast Machines: Transformers (cartoon)|Beast Machines]]'' cartoon.

Leftfield has a catalog of music that includes three studio albums and several singles, many of which reached the Top 40 on the UK Singles Chart.<ref>Roberts, David (2006).

Although Leftfield ostensibly broke up in 2002 to pursue solo projects, it was revived in January 2010, though minus Paul Daley who declined to take part.<ref>[http://www.spinner.com/2010/02/02/leftfield-reform-for-loch-ness/ Leftfield Reform for Loch Ness]</ref> Alternative Light Source - the first Leftfield album not to feature Daley - was released in 2015.
