The limited-edition orange pressing includes the original track and an Armand van Helden remix.
Faithless have launched a competition to win a signed copy of their landmark single, ‘Insomnia’, on special-edition vinyl.
Fans can enter to win one of the orange pressings, originally released last year to mark 30 years since the 1995 anthem was released, by signing up to the group’s mailing list.
The release features the original track alongside Armand Van Helden’s European Vacation Mix.
Certified triple-platinum by the British Phonographic Industry, ‘Insomnia’ has racked up close to 1. 8 million unit sales and equivalent streams in the UK. It remains the most successful Faithless single of all time, and the best-known track from their debut album, ‘Reverence’, which also recently turned 30.
The anniversary comes as Rollo and Sister Bliss continue Faithless’ live return with a series of outdoor shows this summer. The dates follow the release of the group’s eighth studio album, ‘Champion Sound’, last summer, which features the final vocal recording by former member and lead vocalist Maxi Jazz, who died in 2022.
Find out more and enter the competition before 15th September here.
Last week, DJ Mag caught up with Sister Bliss ahead of Faithless’ Boomtown debut, to find out what fans can expect from their new live show format.
Watch a mini-doc on how Faithless made ‘Insomnia’ on DJ Mag’s Youtube channel.
Earlier this year, a pilot programme was launched investigating how unsold vinyl records could be recycled into new, high-quality pressings.
A 2024 study by Vinyl Record Manufacturer’s Association and Vinyl Alliance found the production of a standard, black, 140g vinyl record produces just over 1kg CO2e, or a little under the footprint of a pint of cow’s milk.
