Maya Jane Coles is a British music producer, audio engineer and DJ, born in London.

[3][4] Under her real name, she mostly composes and plays house and techno music, while her alias Nocturnal Sunshine creates darker, more bass-driven productions with a heavy hip-hop and dub influence.

Having already remixed acts such as Massive Attack and Gorillaz with her duo She Is Danger,[8] Coles gained breakthrough exposure in 2010, when she released a four-track EP on Franck Roger's label,[9] Real Tone Records.

She was then named by DJ Mag as one of the best newcomers that year,[10] as her track "What They Say", taken from her eponymous EP, was also one of the most playlisted by DJs on Resident Advisor.

It featured guest appearances from artists such as Tricky, Miss Kittin, Nadine Shah, Alpines, Thomas Knights and Karin Park.
