They went on to support the likes of Jamiroquai and Soul II Soul at live shows.He formed Faithless with Rollo and Sister Bliss in 1995, with the group releasing their debut album Reverance just one year later. It featured the group’s biggest hit ‘Insomnia’, which is considered to be one of the greatest dance tracks of all time.Further success came when the 1998 follow-up album Sunday 8PM was nominated for the Mercury Music Prize, featuring the hit single “God Is A DJ” and earning the group a nomination for the BRIT Award for Best British Dance Act in 1999.Paying tribute, DJ Dave Pearce said: “o sad to learn Maxi Jazz has passed away. Faithless were an iconic force in UK dance music from the mid 90’s and touched so many lives.
