History of Faithless

Faithless formed in London in 1995 through the collaboration of producer Rollo Armstrong, keyboardist and producer Sister Bliss, and vocalist Maxi Jazz. Their debut single, Salva Mea (Save Me), quickly established them as innovators in electronic music, followed later the same year by Insomnia, which became one of the biggest dance records in history.

Throughout the late 1990s and early 2000s, Faithless consistently bridged underground club culture with mainstream success. Albums such as Reverence, Sunday 8PM, Outrospective and No Roots produced multiple hit singles and established the group as festival favourites worldwide.

Unlike many dance acts of their era, Faithless became renowned for meaningful lyrics alongside powerful club productions. Maxi Jazz’s distinctive spoken word delivery, combined with Sister Bliss’s melodic compositions and Rollo’s production expertise, created a sound that remains instantly recognisable.

Even after periods of hiatus and the passing of Maxi Jazz in 2022, Faithless continue to perform and release new music, cementing their place among Britain’s greatest electronic music acts.
