Culture Clash with Leftfield

The Don's selections cross time, space and genre and include Leftfield's 1995 album Leftism as his Crucial Vinyl.

The Don's selections cross time, space and genre and include Crucial Vinyl from Leftfield.

Each week, as well as blending key new releases with classics from the UK, USA, Jamaica, Africa and beyond, Don highlights a piece of Crucial Vinyl - a cherished album from his own collection. He explains why it means so much to him and features three key tracks. This week he picks Leftism, released by Leftfield in 1995.

Don says, "Since it incorporates so many different genres, to describe Leftfield's debut album as 'progressive house' is a massive understatement. As, probably, the first and most complete album to emerge from the house scene, Leftism would go on to have a massive influence, and is rightly recognised as a landmark record in dance music - play loud!2.
