Maya Jane Coles returns with new label ‘Night Creatures’

Producer, DJ and visual artist Maya Jane Coles announces the launch of Night Creatures – a new label and creative platform marking her first new music after a brief hiatus. Known for her distinct blend of deep, percussive club music and introspective sound design, Coles has long stood as one of electronic musicโ€™s most respected and accomplished artists.

The debut release, Night Jams Vol. 1, gathers four original tracks that tap into the core of Mayaโ€™s sonic language: deep, club-focused rhythm offset by late-night introspection. The EP moves between dense percussive drive and ghost-lit ambience, tracing the full spectrum of her electronic sound.

Each cut carries Mayaโ€™s unmistakable production fingerprint,  taut drums, ghostly vocal layers, and heavy low-end pressure;  a signature palette sheโ€™s honed into a sound that has defined her output for more than a decade. From her breakthrough album debut Comfort (2013) and its brooding follow-up Take Flight (2017) to the boundary-pushing Night Creature (2021), Maya has built a musical world that folds intimacy and power, precision and emotion, into something instantly recognisable.

โ€œIโ€™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 thereโ€™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. Itโ€™s that contrast between solitude and chaos, calm and energy, thatโ€™s always inspired me. Welcome to my world, all night creatures welcome to joinโ€  Maya Jane Coles

Her output,  from underground anthems to headline festival sets, from DJ-Kicks and Fabric compilations to countless remixes for artists like Depeche Mode, Massive Attack and Little Dragon – reflects an artist equally fluent in club culture and contemporary sound design. Night Creatures represents both a continuation and a reset. A home for Mayaโ€™s next creative phase, it reflects an artist returning to form while carving space for new expression and independent control.

Night Jams Vol. 1 by Maya Jane Coles is released 28 November 2025 on Night Creatures. Pre-order here
