My personal story with Insomnia centres around spending a few days in Brussels in the mid-nineties and hearing, in a mega-club - God knows what it was called - a track so hypnotising, that I found it impossible to stop thinking about it. It totally revolutionised my perception of dance music and acted as a catalyst in searching for dance tunes matching its sublimity (there were a few). Reading of Maxi Jazz's passing has triggered me to revisit some of Faithless's best tracks, to listen to their lyrics, and has restored a little of my faith in humanity. Maxi Jazz was full of humanity. Sometimes, we find our personal heroes too late. R.I.P.

I remember hearing that riff for the first time, that sound just seemed impossible, I still get goosebumps thinking about it now. Today I don’t think I could be shocked by a sound or a track in the same way, it feels like I’ve heard every noise that’s possible, or at least close to every noise. Back when this came out I couldn’t believe that it was possible to sound so huge! I just kept thinking “wow it’s possible to make music like that?!?” It sounds like it was recorded in a church, the reverb and size of the track is epic in scale, certainly bigger than a garden shed.

I have to completely agree! And that is saying something considering the many epic tracks out there, But there's something about this one that culminates a whole generation of dance/trance music.. A riff and drop that amazed crowds at the time, There was nothing like it before, And even to this day it sounds so fresh.. It's like being in a dark place and then being suddenly lifted euphorically lol. And when it comes (club or through your speakers) it brings a level of feeling/emotion like no other. It truly is the greatest club track of all time in my opinion.

That song is part of a very vivid memory of mine. In 2002 I lived on Ibiza & the Pacha discotheque basically was my living room. Although the Pacha has different dance floors with different music styles, they all can be connected to the main floor. So one night one Italian DJ connected all floors to his set on the main floor & I remember the club going silent at precisely 3:30 am. First confusion from the audience, then that beat with the line "half past 3 in the morning..." hit & the whole place went completely bonkers! I'll never forget that moment when approx. 8.000 people made that place shake - good times! Best party I've ever been to.

Sister Bliss is one of the pioneers of dance music in my opinion. I believe everything Faithless did was hard work and from the heart. Working the DJ scene, and getting promoted is extremely hard and it must have been frustrating for them to have Island music bench their tracks. Lucky for us the fans that there was a clause, or we may have never had Faithless. Great interview. First time I've heard from Sister Bliss and before this I imagined she was articulate and intelligent as she comes across in this interview. Thanks for this DJ Mag.

I remember having that tune stuck in my brain as a child and when I finally found the album in the public library I thought it was so weird that the "good part" only begins 7 or so minutes into the track. To this day this choice stands out as one of the coolest, cleverest and dare I say ballsy ideas of electronic music. This was what made Faithless above and beyond all other dance acts, having that deeply spiritual dimension, the breadth of all the different styles in a coherent package on the albums as well as live, and of course Sister Bliss' and Rollo's impeccable sense of hooking the listener. One of my biggest regrets is never seeing Maxi Jazz perform. Rest in peace, magical mystery man

Im 24yo, found this track by accident, it blew me away, absolute goosebumps, thinking of early 2000s visuals

My friend introduced me to this song when I was 16 in 1996, travelling home on a bus from a college trip to London. Loved your music ever since.

Just a legendary track. It never gets old, even after all this time it gives you that feeling. RIP Maxi, thanks for the memories! ❤

I still remember the first time I saw them in Brussels Ancient Belgique, (4 april 1997). I stood in the front and in the end, we all jumped on stage and hugged Maxi Jazz. So much energy! Never realized until now that they played this song twice.

I remember all of these great tunes.... never associated these songs coming from a dark place, but the years of my life where I had so much fun, freedom and absolutely no responsibility. Happy days and party nights! Still love these catchy tunes and always think about the good old days when I hear them.😊

Maxis voice is so iconic, just seeing a picture of him , I can hear his voice. Rip. And hopefully faithless can continue to create music in his honour

Faithless were just the perfect group coming together at the perfect time, I was lucky enough to see them in Plymouth around 2001, best live set I’ve ever seen, the place was almost brought to rubble from the sound of the crowd, it was killer. Maxi for me was and is the best MC we’ve ever been lucky enough to have in our world, insomniac and bring my family back hit me hard. Love you guys

No true fan here. But first thing after hearing Maxi died was play a few hits. Love Sister Bliss´ kept her style. Huge respect to her musical genius and remaining laid-back and approachable.
