Ever since Tatana Sterba mixed the "Live At Street Parade" CD in 1998 she has been the icon of Switzerlands Trance scene. Whenever this 29-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, shes a member of Switzerlands 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 (98).
The self-made woman was born on 7th October 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 Rümlang. 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 Frankfurts Polaris-Studio, along with the German star producer Torsten Stenzel (Taucher, DJ Sakin & Friends, Redlight District, York). 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, Tatanas first own Mix-CD, Tatana The Mix Vol. 1 (Warner), was released. In 1999 she produced the single End of Time along with DJ Energy signed to Data/Ministry of Sound. In April she mixed the Goliath CD. In the summer, she was offered the chance to produce the official main CD for Street Parade in Zurich, along with its anthem, More Than Words (Position 13th / Sales Charts). 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 (Platin Award/Position Nr. 2) and the most successful swiss dance hit ever Words. Words has been released worldwide and got awarded with a gold award. 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, Marco Guardia (S.H.O.K.K., Flutlicht, Reverb) did co-produce the first nr. 1 album of the swiss djane. Not less successful were DJ Tatanas 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 50000 units sold). With another club burner Soul Cry together with hit producer Ron Van den Beuken in his project The Mystery, Tatana could release her first record on Spinnin Records. Summer 2004 Tatana produced a remix for Trance god himself Tiesto on his hit love comes again together with BT. For the Swiss trance princess and Switzerlands most successful DJ ever, 2005 will be without a doubt another phenomenal year full of success. A number 1 Album folowed with Peace & Love. Also her remixes for trance-classic Greece 2000 from dutch duo Three Drives, Armin Van Buurens Shivers or One More Angels (aka Ian van Dahl) Breathe show her international talent and quality.
