Releases 28 Years Ago: Faithless – Insomnia

In the illustrious realm of dance classics, one single stands tall as arguably the greatest dance track ever made. ‘Insomnia’ by Faithless has been an unwavering force, dominating the dance music scene for over two decades and accumulating countless awards along the way. Its iconic melody, a hallmark of electronic music, has endured the test of time, tempting modern DJs into remixing and bootlegging, yet none quite capture the essence of the original. This timeless single was released on November 27, 1995.

Faithless, with a rich history spanning over 28 years, holds a pivotal position in the realm of British electronica. Their music seamlessly weaves elements of house, trip-hop, dub, and exceptional songwriting into arena-filling, explosive, and euphoric dance floor classics. The band’s remarkable achievements include seven Top 10 singles, six Top 10 albums (three claiming the coveted Number 1 spot), and a Mercury Prize nomination for their brilliant sophomore album, 1998’s ‘Sunday 8PM’. The four times Platinum-certified ‘Forever Faithless – The Greatest Hits’ adds to a career total exceeding 15 million sales worldwide.

As we celebrate 28 years of ‘Insomnia’, Faithless‘ magnum opus, its legacy remains intact, an enduring anthem that continues to inspire and resonate with electronic music enthusiasts across the globe.
