Biography
P.toile is a Berlin based DJ and producer, very active and respected on the local scene, as well as on an international level. Much thanks to the consistent quality of her productions.
She was first introduced to electronic music in 1993 and shortly after that she opened her own record store, “Starbeat”, in her hometown Kiel. Parallel to that, she started dj-ing and organizing events on a regular basis. “Groove Complex“, the first one, gave her the chance to train her DJ skills, playing alongside international DJ’s in front of big crowds. This experience was important for her national as well as international recognition.
Jade lives in Beirut and travels the world to play his music.
‘If you live in Beirut, you probably know Jade as the DJ from The Basement, or one of the most respected DJs in town, or the dude from Blend, the first signed Rock Band in the region (EMI), or that guy at the music store downtown who always recommended great music. Jade plays vinyl in a country where no 12’’ is being sold…’ (Excerpts from TRAX + REMIX, 2005)
A rocker since high school, he moved to Montreal in 1999 where he experienced his first techno parties and found himself dragged into the world of electronic sounds. In 2002, he returns home to record his first album as a major act with his band Blend (EMI – www.blendband.net).
One year later Jade gets into DJ‘ing, and not long after that, he gathers 400 people in unique locations where he throws underground parties (spoon events) He starts distributing his mixes on CD, a habit that he keeps till now in his club, The Basement.
Supported by The French Cultural Center & The Goethe Institute, The Basement hosts workshops with international artists regularly, in order to push local talent, and is also a home for emerging local artists & bands. That and also the charity events that Jade organizes regularly, has given The Basement a different imagine and established it as a club with a humane touch and a cultural vision.
The war in 2006 did not stop him… he went organizing fundraisers in town (www.minimalresistance.org) and around the world (www.tobeirut.org) in coordination with The Lebanese Red Cross and with the help and support of P-Toile (Clique Bookings, Berlin), where Famous DJs and live acts like DJ Hell, Craig Richards, MANDY, Stewart Walker, Patrick Chardronnet, Dirt Crew, Kiki, Fafa Monteco, Jef K, Jennifer Cardini, Chloe, Yvan Smagghe, Ewan Pearson and many more offered their participation.
He started his weekly radio show ‘Sounds from the Basement’ early 2006 on the local radio station Mix fm and moved the show to NRJ in 2008 (Saturdays 11pm). Currently, Jade’s getting more requests to play abroad while keeping his successful weekly residency ‘Electro is Dead’ at The Basement.
Jade is currently producing with his mate Diamond Setter and releasing on different labels (Presslab Records, Fantasize, etc.)
