"Coles is beyond her years, and ready to make a major move into the upper echelons of dance royalty." Flaunt Magazine
Maya Jane Coles has become house music’s hottest new property. Listening to her DJ-Kicks mix, it’s not hard to see why. It opens with the muted synth chords and broken post-garage beats of ‘Loqux & Past’ by Deft, gradually acquiring more rhythmic weight care of tracks such as ‘In My Cocoon’ by Bozwell, a moody throb of glassy sounding electronics, wispy vocals and globular bass, and Maya ’s exclusive track ‘Not Listening’, a driving cut built on a pounding yet melodic groove. It’s another Coles exclusive, ‘Meant To Be’, this time in her Nocturnal Sunshine guise, that marks the transition to a more shuffle-y, two-step-influenced passage. The word journey is often used to describe DJ sets - too often, perhaps - but it applies in this case, and on a grand scale.
...and electronic music is a far more interesting place for Maya Jane Coles’s presence.
