“Alternative Light Source” is the highly anticipated third album by legendary electronic music pioneers, Leftfield & the follow up to the Mercury Prize nominated Leftism (1995) and Rhythm and Stealth (1999). The record contains collaborations with Channy Leaneagh (Poliça), Ofei, Tunde Adebimpe (TV On The Radio) and Sleaford Mods.

Throughout the 90s Leftfield were untouchable live and on record, starting a snowball rolling for British dance music which saw them joined by outfits like Orbital, Underworld and the Dust/Chemical Brothers in breaking electronic music from the underground, onto the stage and into the charts. Released in January 1995, Leftism, remains one of the defining statements of 90s dance music, a gloriously inter-woven bombardment of musical styles and immaculate grooves, nominated for a Mercury prize and later voted in the top ten greatest albums of all time by readers of Q magazine. The album spawned two more top 20 singles in Original, featuring Curve’s Toni Halliday, and Afro-Left, with vocals by Neil Cole, aka Djum Djum.
