Reply With QuoteLast few times I’ve seen photos of him I thought he was looking less & less well.
He was a great musician, may the party continue on the other side.
Just heard Maxi Jazz from Faithless has passed away, he was a massive artist in the 90s club scene, I did some raving myself back in the day.
RIP Maxi

Faithless were an amazing live band, abit forgotten these days but late 90s they were a real tour de force on the live dance scene.
He was a lovely guy, i met him a few times on jobs and he was a sweet charming man, softly spoken, always generous with his time.
I’m a huge dance music fan, it’s all I listen to. This is sad news.
65 is no age these days.
Faithless moved the scene on massively, particularly in terms of live dance music gigs.
+1 classic tune! RIP Maxi..

Sad news ... great band .... saw Faithless at Brixton Academy a couple of times and Sister Bliss DJ at the Gallery. RIP.
Blimey!
RIP you awesome guy. Brilliant music, great entertainer.
God has a DJ.
RIP Maxi.
When you look long into an abyss, the abyss looks long into you.........
Very sad news! RIP
Gutted when I heard. Everyone knows Insomnia but I love this music video.

Insomnia was my gym treadmill track for a couple of years back in the day. RIP Maxi Jazz,
One of the greatest dance choons ever
Genuinely sad about this, saw them a few times back in the day and part of the sound track of my life.
Never my type of music but watched him race Fiestas in a BTCC support series.
This really hit me yesterday. I've been a fan since the first album. Not one of their bigger hits but 'Music Matters' is in my top 5 songs of all time because music does matter.
True! I was at the Tall Trees club in Yarm when I heard that.... awesome sound.
RIP
I first heard Imsomnia in Ikon Wakefield, it was Rooftop Gardens, massive club in the 90s and in the scene.
Maxi did play a massive part in that scene from 1997 till now
I think if you are of a certain age, you remember where they were the first time you heard insomnia.
For me it was Bluenote in Derby. Just a WOW moment and I’ve been a fan ever since.
Seen them a few times live, and his Glastonbury performances were something else.
A personal favourite is Tarantula. Which if my memory is correct was used by the BBC for the 2002 World Cup opening credits.
Salva Mea is a right up there as well.
RIP And thank you for the memories.

Sad news indeed - I bought the Reverence/Irreverence cd years ago second hand, I'd not heard anything from it & was blown away - I've been a fan ever since & saw them twice with the Leeds Uni show being a standout for me.
I'm in Scotland & will be playing Faithless on the 3 hour journey home to Leeds. Hope he's having some sideways fun in his mk2 RS2000.
Tall trees ,that’s a blast from the past ,impressive place .

Faithless was one of those bands I was always going to get round to seeing one day. And thank goodness I did, back in 2015
