Symphony of Unity
Symphony of Unity reimagines the all-time dance classic ‘Insomnia’ by Faithless in a way like nothing heard before. Honoring its 30th anniversary, this orchestral rework tantalizes the senses and evokes goosebumps with its soaring intensity. Symphony of Unity unveils the track anew through a magical fusion of symphonic grandeur and electronic energy.
Faithless‘ ‘Insomnia‘, released in 1995, quickly became a defining anthem of the mid-’90s club scene. The track climbed to No. 3 on the UK Singles Chart, topped the UK Dance Chart, and conquered national charts across Europe, cementing its place as a timeless electronic classic.
Now, three decades later, ‘Insomnia‘ returns reimagined on a majestic orchestral scale. The genre-blending ensemble Symphony of Unity transforms the iconic electronic anthem into a cinematic experience, fusing classical orchestra with the youth of electronic music. The release reawakens ‘Insomnia‘ for a new generation while honoring its enduring legacy.

Here’s what Kevin Houben – conductor had to say:
“Insomnia has been in the set since our very first show 10 years ago, so we’ve been very eager to release this version. The orchestration bundles all emotions, styles and rhythmic pulses of this classic – with that iconic silence before the drop. An absolute pinnacle for Symphony of Unity.”
Premiered during Symphony of Unity‘s live performances – including Tomorrowland, the UNITY shows at Sphere (Las Vegas, US), and a sold-out debut at Antwerp Expo (Belgium) – the orchestral rework of ‘Insomnia‘ has already mesmerized audiences from festival stages to concert halls across the globe.
“This year we pushed boundaries both musically and show-wise. Many highlights, such as the 9 ‘Unity’ shows at Sphere in Las Vegas, ‘Freedom stage’ at Tomorrowland, the release of our debut single ‘Reload’, and our very first hard ticket shows that we sold out made this year a resounding success.
We were able to bring so many people together again with EDM and an orchestra. That’s a tremendous rush!” – Lars van den Oever – percussionist
Following Symphony of Unity‘s debut on Tomorrowland Music with a symphonic reinterpretation of the iconic dance anthem ‘Reload‘ by Sebastian Ingrosso & Tommy Trash, this latest release signals that the journey is far from over.
“After some intensive recording sessions last year our first single ‘Reload’ appeared in November. Now, with the release of ‘Insomnia,’ we’re taking the next step in this journey: our first album will come out in 2026. A very unique and deep collaboration of the whole team, from label to studio, truly brought this project to life.” – Kevin Houben
