01 / Story

From a family
of musicians
to IBIZA.

ARACIL was born into music before he chose it. He grew up in a family of musicians in the north of Spain, with instruments in the room and records on the table, and had an ear trained long before he ever stood in a booth.

At seventeen he left for London. The city handed him electronic dance music at full volume and he answered by learning to play it: first records, first rooms, and a lot of hours spent chasing the moment where a floor stops watching and starts moving. That obsession never left.

In 2012 he moved to Ibiza and started producing. He has lived there ever since, more than a decade of seasons on the island, playing superclubs and sunrise beach parties, with the studio a few minutes from the booth. The international dates come and go around that. What stays is the approach: a set treated as a piece of writing rather than a sequence of records.

Emerging Ibiza named him one of the best new DJ/producers in 2015. He has since appeared at the DJ Awards ceremony and the International Music Summit, and released on some of Germany's most respected melodic labels.

02 / The Sound
"A mixture of energy and harmonies that rides between the melancholy and the euphoria."
RangeDeep house → melodic techno

A set that starts warm and patient and ends somewhere considerably louder, built on harmony rather than shock.

AccentBerlin, filtered through Ibiza

German melodic sensibility and the open-air discipline of the island: long arcs, heavy detail, no wasted gesture.

MethodTracks that tell stories

Vocalists, live-feeling texture and a habit of pushing the boundaries of where a melodic record is allowed to go.

ARACIL grew up in a family of musicians in northern Spain. At seventeen he moved to London, where electronic dance music took hold and his first DJ bookings followed. In 2012 he settled in Ibiza and started producing. He has lived on the island ever since, more than a decade of seasons, with dates through Europe, Asia and Latin America around them. His music sits between deep house and melodic techno and carries a strong Berlin influence. He works with vocalists and writes long arcs rather than quick payoffs. A set is a piece of writing, not a sequence of records. Emerging Ibiza named him one of the best new DJ/producers in 2015.
