Back to Mine: Faithless

The 'Back to Mine' series invited famous electronic artists to curate a tracklist of relaxed, downtempo music meant to be listened to at home after a night out. The 1998 release curated by Faithless was the inaugural release of this highly influential series.

Faithless selected an eclectic mix of downtempo, soul, and ambient tracks, showcasing their diverse influences outside of their typical stadium house sound. The tracklist includes artists like Dusted, X-Press 2, and Mazzy Star, highlighting a deep, moody atmosphere.

At the time of the 1998 release, the British electronic band consisted of core members Rollo, Sister Bliss, and Maxi Jazz. Their global fame was skyrocketing due to hits like 'Insomnia,' making their selection of deeply chilled tracks a stark contrast to their club anthems.

Yes, because the inaugural release by Faithless was a success, the series went on to feature mixes by major artists like Massive Attack, Pet Shop Boys, and New Order. It became a prestigious compilation brand in the late 90s and early 2000s electronic scene.
