Javier Aracil, or Xavier Arak, is a young producer based in Ibiza and grew up in his hometown with the voice of Otis Redding, Marvin Gaye and Aretha Franklin, as well as that of his father, Javier Aracil, a famous soul singer of his time.
Javier’s musical culture expanded in London where he lived from the age of seventeen. He then resided China which was a turning point for him because this was where he discovered his skills as a DJ and began making his first appearances.
From that time Javier has left his mark on the peninsula, and especially in Ibiza, for his groove , at venues such as, Space , Privilege Km 5 Ibiza, Plastik Beach, Moma, Sirocco, Ocean drive, Pacha,Hotel Pacha, Bfor, Destino Pacha, Ushuaia beach, Usuahia Tower, Dance Fair Ibiza 2014 and many more. Also got a international show in ASIA in 2015.Javier himself states that his “musical essence is telling a story in every song, trying to get people to listen, have feelings, as with soul music".
Currently Xavier Arak is still working hard both in production and behind the decks, which is usually in the local city where he resides of Ibiza and is the resident of Beachouse Ibiza with Guy Gerber , Guti ,Solomun etc... Another great artist, Paul Reynolds, with whom he has shared the booth, states Xavier Arak’s style is very similar to Henrik Schwarz, for his love of harmonies has a very personal sound; his music is made from the heart with a single purpose, to convey productions, carry forward the melodic and funky vibe, with floating harmonies, keys and placed percussion.
