Maxi Jazz, the Faithless front man and general dance music legend was in Marconi House to chat with our Ed Smith.

Have a listen to the full conversation above, including football banter, how he came to be in Faithless, how he wrote the lyrics for Insomnia in the space of a few hours, who his music influences are, and how you can see him at Electric Picnic 2018. 

Maxi is appearing at the Three Ireland Made By Music stage.

Three's Electric Picnic activation - The Made By Music base. At EP, legendary Faithless frontman Maxi Jazz will go head to head on the decks with up and coming Irish DJ, Lo Cutz. The pioneer of dance classics such as ‘Insomnia’ and ‘God Is a DJ’ will put his music skills to the test against the new kid on the block to see who can choose the biggest floor fillers to keep the Electric Picnic crowd on their feet. TV & radio broadcaster and festival fan Baz Ashmawy will be on MC duties to judge the crowd’s reaction and see who will come out on top of the ultimate DJ battle.
