THE KING'S RANSOM Audiobook Excerpt

“This set was on the last night, after spending the whole festival supervising the ambient tent, which I had the pleasure of curating this year. I hadn’t had a chance to dance all weekend, and I had so much energy built up that needed to go somewhere. Finally, I got to channel it into the mix, and I must say, it was probably the highest-energy set I’ve played this year?

My slot was sandwiched between trance fam Auratekh and Sybil, so it genuinely felt like playing with friends. The FM pub tent is the place to get a bit loose and dance, so for this one, I leaned into the more energetic side of prog and psy, revisiting a few 90s gems I hadn’t played in a while.” - TSUNIMAN 

we’re looking back at this year’s edition of field maneuvers for another live recording this week, this time from london-based, switzerland-born artist TSUNIMAN. gracefully imprinted in the local london scene, TSUNIMAN excels in worldbuilding, bridging together the old and new to create these narratives for her audience to get lost in. casting a spell on those who witness her sets, they tend to be filled with euphoria, spacey delights and lots of quiet moments for reflecting. in this set for FM, TSUNIMAN is in the fast lane, going full turbo mode. 

a fellow resident on london’s hub, netil radio, with the monthly Плазма (PLASMA) show where she invites guests to either go back-to-back with her or take over the full slot, most often platforming those who are emerging. her guests have included dj wiggles, rbi, celestial, neurotrancer, annx, dogheadsurigeri, and henderson to name a few. alongside this, she has guested on international radio stations such as kiosk radio, rinse fm and den anden side. her dj sets have seen her play at renowned spots across the world, including becoming a resident at klub verboten, as well as performances at refractor festival, unfold, ohm, the white holel, hutte in the forest, goodness, everybody trance and waterworks.

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 music’s most respected and accomplished artists.

The debut release, Night Jams Vol. 1, gathers four original tracks that tap into the core of Maya’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 Maya’s unmistakable production fingerprint, taut drums, ghostly vocal layers, and heavy low-end pressure; a signature palette she’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.

Her output, from underground anthems to headline festival sets, from DJ-Kicks and Fabric compilations to countless remixes for artists like Depeche Mode - reflects an artist equally fluent in club culture and contemporary sound design.

Night Creatures represents both a continuation and a reset. A home for Maya’s next creative phase, it reflects an artist returning to form while carving space for new expression and independent control.

The launch reinforces Maya’s credentials as one of electronic music’s most distinctive and persistent voices.

Maya Jane Coles returns with the second release on her newly minted Night Creatures imprint, continuing to carve out the label’s late-night, club-focused identity. ‘Ride’ distils Maya’s unmistakable production language into a lean, pulsing dancefloor cut.

Anchored by her signature deep bass weight and taut, rolling drum programming, ‘Ride’ leans into the elements that have long set Maya apart: shadowy atmospherics, subtle melodic detail, and vocal textures stretched and sculpted into something both human and otherworldly. Its minimalist architecture; groove-laden, hypnotic, and built with the precision that has defined her sound for over a decade, creates a sense of tension and motion that sits squarely in her lineage of moody club tracks.

Following ‘Night Jams Vol. 1’, this release further establishes Night Creatures as a dedicated space for Maya’s most focused electronic work. ‘Ride’ is a clear return to the late-night pulse at the core of her catalogue.
