Artist Biography
After having the adorable voice of Janl (Lunik, Delerium, Mich Gerber)
singing on her last years smash hit "'84 Always on my mind", Tatana choose
to collaborate for her new single "All that I feel" with another star of
the Swiss music scene. Pee from the band Dada ante Portas! The single is
taken from Tatana's forthcoming 8th mix-album "Peace & Love" (Sirup/TBA),
follow up to her number 1 album "Neonlights" (2004). The cd includes
numerous new tracks by Tatana. Therefore she cooperated again with Swiss
producers Franky Fonell/Chris Reece. The leading Swiss DJane presents with
"Peace & Love" a typical DJ Tatana trance mix. The listener can dive into
full, beautiful electronic harmonies and is sent to the seventh heaven of
trance. Ever since Tatana Sterba mixed the "Live At Street Parade" CD in
1998 she has been the icon of Switzerland's Trance scene. Whenever this 27-
year-old DJane from Zurich is behind the turntable at raves such as
"Energy" or in clubs like OXA in Zurich and MAD in Lausanne, she gets a
grip on her audience like none other. Her true fans can always be found on
the front row, with their homemade Tatana banners. As female producer of
hits such as "Dream Off", "End Of Time" (with DJ Energy) and "Words", she's
a member of Switzerland's premier trance league. English magazine "M8"
enthusiastically wrote: "The way she builds up her sets is wonderful, to
see Tatana mixing is the dream of every music knower". The self-made woman
was born on 7th August 1976 in former Czechoslovakia. Whilst at school she
played various different instruments and was already developing a sensitive
feel for music. She also attended dancing schools for ballet and jazz. At
the beginning of the Swiss techno and house movement, Tatana was dancing
the night away at parties and so came into contact with many influential
people in the industry. In May 1994, at the tender age of seventeen, she
first had the opportunity to impress everyone with her talent during a
party at Groodonia in Ra'fcmlang. Some small gigs in and around Zurich
followed, and in the same year she had the opportunity to prove herself at
bigger events such s Futurescope, Evolution, Magic Kingdom and Metropolis.
In 1997 Tatana produced her own first record, released on Liquid Records,
in Frankfurt's Polaris-Studio, along with the German star producer Torsten
Stenzel (Taucher, DJ Sakin & Friends). On 8th August 1998, she did a set
for the Street Parade and at Energy '98, the biggest event of its kind in
Switzerland. Her second production, "Tatana - The second Chapter E.P."
followed at the end of August 1998 on Liquid Records. In November 1998,
Tatana's first own Mix-CD, "Tatana The Mix Vol. 1", was released. In 1999
she produced the single "End of Time" along with DJ Energy. In April she
mixed the "Goliath" CD. In the summer, she was offered the chance to
produce the official CD for Street Parade in Zurich, along with its anthem,
"More Than Words". In 2000 she released her Mix-CD "24 Karat", which
reached ninth place in the official Swiss charts. Together with the band
M.O.P.E she developed a live act totally new to the trance scene. With this
she was able to inspire the crowds at "Heitere Open Air" in Zofingen and
the Energy 00 in the Hallenstadion. In November, she managed to conquer the
Swiss market straightaway with her next Mix-CD, "Pure Elements". The follow-
up Mix-Album, "Pink Punk" (released May 2001) made number five in the album
charts and paved the way for the decisive success of "Superpop". Beside
that, she walked off with a platinum award for the "Energy 2001"
Compilation and gold for "Energy 2002". "Wildlife" (2003) which featured
the single "Moments" rocketed to the number one spot of the Swiss Album
Charts. Not less successful were DJ Tatana's mixes for the "Energy - the
annual" compilation (01, 02 and 04), the platinum selling "Energy 03"
double-cd (together with DJ Energy) and the "Street Parade 04" compilation
(platinum award for over 50,000 units sold). For the Swiss trance princess
and Switzerland's most successful DJ ever, 2005 will be without a doubt
another phenomenal year full of success.
