Parisian DJ and producer Tatyana Jane has had a whirlwind few years.
In June, she released her EP Discordia on the formidable Ed Banger Records — six songs of blistering production that show off Jane's ability to blend French Touch sensibilities with sounds from the throughout global dance music. The well-crafted record comes as no surprise given Jane's training; none other than Skrillex himself gave her private lessons in his own home. Jane played a big looks b2b set with him at Berghain, performed at the 2024 Paris Olympics's closing ceremony, and has been billed at major festival's like Kappa FuturFestival in Turin Italy.
Jane partially attributes her rise and sharpened skills to the high-level and diversity of the electronic scene in Paris. "Being booked for very niche and eclectic parties constantly challenges me and pushes me to improve," Jane tells The FADER. "The underground is demanding, you have to prove yourself."
For Jane's FADER Mix, she crafted an hour of high-energy selects, mixing in everything from her own unreleased material to a neon-hued Sampha and SBTRKT collab. The mix, which could work well on a pulsating festival stage or in the thrall of a sweaty Parisian club, is a tour de force for a rising star in the French and global scene, heavy on hits and humor. Towards its back half, Jane blends in a winking remix of Lil Wayne's "A Milli" that's a tornado of gags and bass.

What led you to start DJing?
Going out to clubs, mainly. I started producing music when I was 16, and when I moved to Paris, I began discovering the club scene. One day, I saw Brodinski talking about DJing on TV, and it immediately made me want to try it.
What’s the first set you ever played?
I remember it was really fun. It was at Chez Brongniart, a restaurant in Paris, during Fête de la Musique in 2019.
What DJs or artists inspire you?
Skrillex, SebastiAn, FKA twigs and PinkPantheress. They are all completely unique in their own way and have built very distinctive artistic worlds around their music.
How has your local scene shaped your mixing and curation?
The level of the Paris scene is incredibly high, so it immediately set the bar very high for me. I had to work extremely hard to make sure I could reach that level.
Paris is also such an intense city and a meeting point for so many different scenes, genres and cultures. That naturally influences both the music I select and the way I mix.
What’s the most memorable set you’ve ever played?
Playing back-to-back with Skrillex at Panorama Bar for CTM Festival in 2025. It remains one of the most legendary moments of my career.
What excites you about the future of nightlife?
I’m excited that music which used to be considered very niche is now being given much more space. Mixing genres also feels much less divisive than it used to.
In the parisian scene especially, you can really hear that in the sets of DJs such as Crystallmess, Simo Cell, Toma Kami, and Jeune Pouce. They move freely between different sounds and create sets that feel genuinely exciting and unpredictable.
What DJ trend needs to die?
DJing half-naked maybe?
How would you describe your FADER mix?
It includes a lot of my own unreleased music. It moves through different sounds, but it remains very dancefloor-focused throughout.
Where did you record the mix? Describe your surroundings.
I recorded it at home, with my son dancing around.
Beyond DJing and music, what’s an interest you have that may surprise people?
I’m fascinated by quantum physics and astronomy. I listen to a lot of podcasts about both subjects, and I love thinking about how little we still understand about the universe. The fact that there is still so much left to discover is incredibly exciting to me.
I’m also very interested in astrology. I don’t base my entire life around it, of course, but at certain moments it has helped me reflect on the dynamics and transitions I was going through. And I really enjoy playing chess.
