:: Faithless Friday ::

Maxi getting some sleep!

I'm so, so, so looking forward to catching up with Maxi Jazz from Faithless on my radio show tonight.  Faithless have been such an influence to many dance producers and clubbers and they have remained at the top of the business for over a decade!  Quite an achievement.  The new album sounds wonderful and I've been a big supporter of the new single 'Not Going Home' on the radio show for weeks now.

Tonight I'll get to spin up some classic Faithless tracks and chat to the enigmatic front man Maxi Jazz about the church that is Faithless, the new single, album and forthcoming tour.  Please join me for this rare opportunity. 8pm > midnight.
