Maya Jane Coles invites listeners to step into her world after dark with the launch of her new imprint, Night Creatures, alongside a rhythmic club-focused EP, Night Jams Vol. 1.
Wearing hats as a producer, DJ, and visual artist, Maya Jane Coles is a true multi-hyphenate whose creative instinct stretches in many directions. What began as a childhood obsession with drawing evolved into music-making in her early teens, where her artistic world widened further. She draws inspiration from her dreams and lived experiences, channeling influences from soul, jazz, punk, and classical into a distinctive sound that is entirely her own. This signature approach is evident in her mesmerizing mix of groove-driven percussion and intricate sound design, which has established the British-Japanese trailblazer as a defining presence in the underground scene.
After a brief hiatus, she now takes her creative vision to the next level with the launch of her new imprint, Night Creatures. The label represents her determination to carve out her own space and showcase her artistic freedom. Inspired by the balance of solitude and chaos of the late-night, Night Creatures solidifies Maya Jane Coles as a visionary in club culture and contemporary sound design.
I’ve always been a night creature, for as long as I can remember. When it comes to creating, I find peace in the quiet hours, away from the noise and chaos of the day. The stillness of the night helps me slip deeper into my creative zone. Then there’s the other side of being a night creature – the one who comes alive under flashing lights, DJing through late nights whilst the world sleeps. It’s that contrast between solitude and chaos, calm and energy, that’s always inspired me. Welcome to my world, all night creatures welcome to join.
