Experience the special immersive ‘insomnia’ remake at ‘The Future is Sound’
It’s taken 27 years, but British electronic band, Faithless, has finally figured out how to get some sleep - by releasing the iconic 90s dance anthem, Insomnia, as a 27-minute sleep track in a partnership with CBD brand, OTO
Insomnia: Blissful Sleep Remix marks the first time the band has re-written Insomnia since its original release in 1995. Contrary to its name, however, the new track is designed to lull listeners into a deep, restorative sleep, and has been informed by sleep science and new research into the state of the nation’s sleep habits.
Discussing the project, Sister Bliss said: “It’s hard to believe we produced Insomnia 27 years ago in a garden shed. Being in there all day and then DJ-ing at night was like having permanent jet lag, so I came up with the title ‘Insomnia’, because I literally couldn’t sleep. Once released, the track became an anthem for a generation of late night clubbers who, as the lyric goes, were also getting ‘no sleep’. With that legacy in mind, the opportunity to collaborate with OTO on the creation of a Sleep Remix was one I couldn’t turn down. I can’t wait to get the track out there and help a nation of bad sleepers finally get the rest they’re craving.”
Gemma Colao, OTO’s founder said:
Sound and sleep have always been at the heart of our brand - the name ‘OTO’ means sound in Japanese.
As someone who has always been a bad sleeper, I have a personal connection with lack of sleep and what that can do to our minds and bodies.
