RIP Maxi Jazz, 1957 - 2022. Truly no obituary needed to explain his place as "dance music's poet" beyond his very own words...

I can still vividly remember the experience of hearing Insomnia by Faithless for the first time when I was fifteen. There was absolutely nothing like it on radio then, and there isn’t still, and a lot of it was Maxi Jazz’s voice and lyrics. A unique artist.
