She was 23 at the time and on a fast track to the international success she has become. Now at only 25, Coles has already had more than an impressive musical career, finding her beginnings as a hip-hop producer at age 15 before experimenting with more electronic dub beats and finally discovering her home in house music with her first release &#8220;Sick Panda&#8221; in 2007.<\/p>\n<p>The London-based producer has continued to amass top-rated singles over the years with many tracks topping the Beatport and Resident Advisor charts and gaining attention from the likes of BBC, Mixmag, and RCRD LBL, amongst others. She has seen her name listed in production credits for artists such as Alpines and Little Boots, and adopted the dubstep alias\u00a0<a href=\"https:\/\/www.facebook.com\/pages\/Nocturnal-Sunshine\/242962040417\" target=\"_blank\">Nocturnal Sunshine<\/a>\u00a0as well as making up one half of the electronic duo\u00a0<a href=\"https:\/\/www.facebook.com\/pages\/She-is-Danger\/137498719557\" target=\"_blank\">She Is Danger<\/a>.\u00a0She\u2019s certainly kept herself busy, playing live in over 40 countries and knocking out remixes for artists as diverse as Florence &amp; The Machine to Ella Fitzgerald to Massive Attack and The xx.<\/p>\n<p>In 2011, she was was the staff pick for &#8216;Artist of the Year&#8217; at the Beatport Awards, DJ Mag&#8217;s \u2018Producer of the Year\u2032, Mixmag&#8217;s \u2018Best Breakthrough DJ\u2032, and FACT&#8217;s \u2018Best Female Artist\u2019. 2012 saw her continuing to gain momentum with Rolling Stone listing her as one of the world\u2019s 25 most influential DJs. And with the release of her first full-length\u00a0<i>Comfort<\/i>\u00a0in July of 2013, Coles shows no signs of slowing down her production work or the BPMs. The album features guests such as Tricky, Karin Park, and Miss Kittin, and you can snag it from\u00a0<a href=\"https:\/\/itunes.apple.com\/gb\/artist\/maya-jane-coles\/id423850587\" target=\"_blank\">iTunes<\/a>\u00a0or stream in on\u00a0<a href=\"http:\/\/open.spotify.com\/album\/509VifKH3x4T8dhJp6RfVO\" target=\"_blank\">Soundcloud<\/a>.<\/p>\n<div><a href=\"http:\/\/mayajanecolesofficial.tumblr.com\/\" target=\"_blank\">Tumblr<\/a><\/div>\n<div><a href=\" https:\/\/twitter.com\/mjcofficial\" target=\"_blank\">Twitter<\/a><\/div>\n<div><a href=\"https:\/\/www.facebook.com\/mjcofficial\" target=\"_blank\">Facebook<\/a><a href=\"https:\/\/www.facebook.com\/mjcofficial\" target=\"_blank\"><br \/>\n<\/a><\/p>\n<div class=\"flex-video widescreen youtube\"><iframe loading=\"lazy\" title=\"Maya Jane Coles - Everything (Featuring Karin Park)\" width=\"500\" height=\"281\" src=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/embed\/j8ki04h0yDo?feature=oembed&#038;showinfo=0&#038;rel=0&#038;modestbranding=1\" frameborder=\"0\" allow=\"accelerometer; autoplay; clipboard-write; encrypted-media; gyroscope; picture-in-picture; web-share\" referrerpolicy=\"strict-origin-when-cross-origin\" allowfullscreen><\/iframe><\/div>\n<div class=\"flex-video widescreen youtube\"><iframe loading=\"lazy\" title=\"Maya Jane Coles - Burning Bright Ft Kim Ann Foxman\" width=\"500\" height=\"281\" src=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/embed\/XXeIF3sbpXs?feature=oembed&#038;showinfo=0&#038;rel=0&#038;modestbranding=1\" frameborder=\"0\" allow=\"accelerometer; autoplay; clipboard-write; encrypted-media; gyroscope; picture-in-picture; web-share\" referrerpolicy=\"strict-origin-when-cross-origin\" allowfullscreen><\/iframe><\/div>\n<p>&#8212;&#8212;&#8212;&#8212;&#8212;&#8212;&#8212;&#8212;&#8212;&#8212;&#8212;&#8212;&#8212;&#8212;&#8211;<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/posturemag.com\/online\/wp-content\/uploads\/2013\/12\/michelle.jpg\" rel=\"mfp\"><img data-recalc-dims=\"1\" loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" data-attachment-id=\"2413\" data-permalink=\"http:\/\/posturemag.com\/online\/recommended-band-this-week-the-blow\/michelle-2\/\" data-orig-file=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/posturemag.com\/online\/wp-content\/uploads\/2013\/12\/michelle.jpg?fit=810%2C812\" data-orig-size=\"810,812\" data-comments-opened=\"0\" data-image-meta=\"{&quot;aperture&quot;:&quot;0&quot;,&quot;credit&quot;:&quot;&quot;,&quot;camera&quot;:&quot;&quot;,&quot;caption&quot;:&quot;&quot;,&quot;created_timestamp&quot;:&quot;0&quot;,&quot;copyright&quot;:&quot;&quot;,&quot;focal_length&quot;:&quot;0&quot;,&quot;iso&quot;:&quot;0&quot;,&quot;shutter_speed&quot;:&quot;0&quot;,&quot;title&quot;:&quot;&quot;}\" data-image-title=\"michelle king\" data-image-description=\"\" data-image-caption=\"\" data-medium-file=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/posturemag.com\/online\/wp-content\/uploads\/2013\/12\/michelle.jpg?fit=300%2C300\" data-large-file=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/posturemag.com\/online\/wp-content\/uploads\/2013\/12\/michelle.jpg?fit=810%2C812\" class=\"alignleft size-thumbnail wp-image-2413\" alt=\"michelle king\" src=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/posturemag.com\/online\/wp-content\/uploads\/2013\/12\/michelle.jpg?resize=150%2C150\" width=\"150\" height=\"150\" srcset=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/posturemag.com\/online\/wp-content\/uploads\/2013\/12\/michelle.jpg?resize=150%2C150 150w, https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/posturemag.com\/online\/wp-content\/uploads\/2013\/12\/michelle.jpg?resize=300%2C300 300w, https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/posturemag.com\/online\/wp-content\/uploads\/2013\/12\/michelle.jpg?resize=620%2C621 620w, https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/posturemag.com\/online\/wp-content\/uploads\/2013\/12\/michelle.jpg?resize=90%2C90 90w, https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/posturemag.com\/online\/wp-content\/uploads\/2013\/12\/michelle.jpg?w=810 810w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 150px) 100vw, 150px\" \/><\/a><br \/>\nMichelle King is a music fiend currently residing in Athens, GA.
