After a prolonged break from the limelight, legendary UK dance outfit Faithless is back in action. If you’re a fan of the rave/club scene, chances are you’ve heard the all too familiar chords of inspiring Faithless anthems like Insomnia, God is a DJ, and We Come 1 echo forth from the soundsystems of clubs and festivals all over the world. Now, 15 years after their formation, Maxi Jazz, Sister Bliss, and Rollo are back on the dancefloor with a slew of festival dates (Ultra, T in the Park, and Oxegen, among others) and a new album (entitled “The Dance”). New tracks like “Sun to Me”, “Not Going Home”, and “Feel Me Now” can be heard in their recent essential mix: a heartfelt, highly spiritual 2 hour mix of big room house and trance.
It’s worth mentioning that their performances billed as “Faithless Soundsystem” (like at Ultra) will be a stripped down version of their live show, with Maxi on vocals and Sister Bliss on the 1s and 2s. The sans ‘Soundsystem’ shows will feature a fully live band. Don’t let this dissuade you from checking them out at Ultra, however. The same spirit behind the music will be there, present especially in the literal and figurative voice of the band Maxi Jazz.
