DJ Tatana

Who is DJ Tatana?

Tatana Sterba is a dance and trance producer better known under her alias DJ Tatana.

Tatana is one of the most successful artists of the 2000s in the Swiss charts, with several successful trance albums since her debut album 24 Carat was released in February 2000.

Tatana's Swiss chart debut came in May 1999, with the release of the single "End Of Time", a collaboration with DJ Energy. The single was not a chart success, but put her on the map in the Swiss trance genre. The No. 14 single "More Than Words - Street Parade Hymn '99" followed, along with "Dream Off" and then her early 2000 debut album. Her debut album made No. 9 in the charts, but despite its success, no further singles followed from the album.

Tatana returned in November 2000 with her album Pure Elements, but again, no singles followed. Tatana had appeared to have abandoned releasing singles by this point, and released a third album, entitled Pink Punk, in May 2001. The album peaked at No. 5 and was, at the time, her biggest success to date.

DJ Rakin collaborated again with Sterba in July 2001, releasing the single "Feel". The single peaked at No. 83 but spent 5 weeks in the Top 100, and became a club success. Tatana went quiet for a while after that, before releasing the single "Words" in March 2002. The single was a huge success, making No. 5 in the Swiss charts, which to this day makes it her highest-placing single.
