On the occasion of the release of her new EP “Intergalactic Tango” we had the opportunity to interview the Franco-Swiss producer.
Jade de Lavareille, in art Deer Jade, it’s a dynamic dj And producer of Swiss origin. On the occasion of the release of his latest EP “Intergalactic Tango” for “The Gardens Of Babylon”We got to ask her a few questions about her career and life. Her melodic musical style did not go unnoticed, so much so that Oliver Koletzki produced his first work, through his own label “Stil Vor Talent“. You have also already had the opportunity to play in the most important clubs and in the most renowned festivals, including the “Burning Man” and the “Fusion“. Finally, in August, he will also play in Italy on two dates not to be missed.
Let’s read together what he told us.
Hi Jade and welcome to Parkett! How is it going?
Hey guys! Thanks for hosting me! It is going really well! I just got to play some fantastic ones show in Italy and I’m very excited for this next summer! I will return, in fact, in August, when I will play at the Twiga Beach in Pisa on 18 et al The Sanctuary in Sardinia on the 21st. I can’t wait!
I would like to talk a little about your musical debut. When and how did your first approach to electronic music take place?
My parents have always listened to all kinds of music, electronic and otherwise, since my childhood. I was therefore lucky enough to grow up surrounded by different inspirations from all over the world that were reproduced at home. I started creating my library very early and was always the one who played at parties in my teens. However, I would never have imagined even for a second of being able to do it dj on a professional level. I started listening to music in Ibiza, al Burning Man, in Tulum, etc. and I was blown away by the diversity and depth of the music. I was mesmerized by the energy it could bring to a dance floor. I was getting more and more passionate until, finally, I realized that I was born to be one dj! haha!
What were the musical genres or artists that influenced your artistic path?
Discover, for the first time, the works of artists such as Be Svedsen, Satori, Goldcap, Viken Arman, Nicolas Cruz and so many others from that scene was a huge turning point in my life. In that moment I realized that music is what I love most and what I should have been doing for the rest of my life.
You have had the opportunity to play alongside many musicians. What is your favorite artist to work with? Or is there one you can’t wait to collaborate with?
I really enjoy working with my great and great friend producer Vander (alias Andy Anderson), as we always have a great workflow and a similar vision of where we want to go with music.
I’m currently a neighbor of Coloray in Berlin, an amazing artist I can’t wait to collaborate with! Also, be in the studio with Red Axes or Acid Pauli it’s one of my big dreams!
You have traveled all over the world and got to play in different places. Is there one that has remained particularly close to your heart?
There is something about Mexico that makes it magical. There is that sense of wonder, beauty and freedom. Plus, there are so many amazing places to visit, the people are very friendly and the electronic music scene is buzzing! It is always wonderful to travel there! Otherwise Japan will always have a special place in my heart!
Your first EP was released on Stil Vor Talent. What was it like working with Oliver Koletzki?
Oliver is one of the kindest and most talented people I’ve ever met. It was a blessing to work with him! He always gives great advice and shows a lot of support. I was so thankful I did!
Your musical approach seems to be influenced by a deep spirituality. Can you tell us more about it?
Music and spirituality are so wonderfully connected that to immerse yourself in one is to immerse yourself even more deeply in the other. Walking this path was incredibly magical. Through my journey I hope that many others can be inspired to follow the truest wishes of their hearts. This way we can remember who we are and create heaven on earth all together!
How important is studying, researching and listening to new music for you? How do these things affect your creativity and inspiration?
It is more important than anything else! I literally dig into music every day, if only for a little while. I do it by listening to the promos, all the latest releases, the songs that my producer friends send me, diving deeper into the old ones. release… It’s endless fun! Being able to play at least a couple of new tracks at each set is what excites me and motivates me the most! I wish I could never tell the same story twice. The sonic exploration is endless!
Let’s talk a little about the future. Do you have a next EP coming up? Can you tell us more about it?
Yup! I just posted mine ep “Intergalactic Tango” for “The Gardens Of Babylon”, Co-produced with Vander e Mâhfoudcontaining two wonderful remix from Chambord And Pandhora! It was so much fun to collaborate with all these friends on these tracks, which I hope will show through listening to them!
I also just released a remix for Glauco of Mambro and, together with Isi Audi“Assonance” on “Gouranga “. Also, I just finished a song that will be released by “Abracadabra Records”At the end of the summer for one compilation license plate “Bye Bye Plastic“. I am very excited about this! There will be new jobs soon, stay tuned!
You have so many projects that you are working on and you will want to travel a lot more and explore new places and new worlds. What will the future look like for you?
I am very excited about all these upcoming adventures! In the future there will be a lot of travel (supporting the “Sustainable Aviation Fuel“Clearly!) And many festival exciting. There will also be plenty of hours to spend on music production and hopefully co-creating more and more conscious events and gatherings around the world. In this way, celebrating will again be synonymous with healing! A New Earth is here!
Thanks for your time, bye and see you soon!
Thanks to you for your time!

I would like to talk about your musical beginning first. When and how was your first approach with electronic music?
My parents have always been listening to all kinds of music since my youngest days, electronic and non electronic, so I was lucky enough to grow up with a lot of different inspirations from around the world playing in the house. I started building my library really early on and was always the one playing music at parties in my teenage years, but never imagined for one second I would ever actually DJ professionally. I started to go out to really listen to music in Ibiza, Burning Man, Tulum etc and was blown away by the diversity and the depth of music, mesmerized by the energy it could bring to a dance floor. I was digging non stop until I eventually realized I was actually born to DJ.
What were your musical genres or the artists that influenced you in your artistic path?
Discovering the music of artists like Be Svendsen, Satori, Goldcap, Viken Arman, Nicolas Cruz and many more from all this musical movement for the first time was a massive turning point in my life, when I realized music is what I love most and what I need to be doing for the rest of my life.
You have played alongside many musicians. Which one is your favorite artist to work with? Or, is there an artist you are looking forward to collaborate?

You have traveled around the world and have played in several locations. Is there any place in particular that has remained in your heart?

There’s so many incredible places to visit, the people are very warm and the electronic music scene is buzzing !!! It’s always a wonderful time traveling over there. Otherwise Japan always has a special place in my heart.

Music and spirituality are so beautifully connected that diving into one is diving even deeper in the other.

How important is the studying, the searching and listening to new music for you? How do those things affect your creativity and inspiration?

I dig literally every day even for just a bit, listening to promos, all the latest releases, tracks producer friends are sending me, diving deeper into older releases… It’s neverending fun !!!
