//BIO – XANDER OLIVER (NY/SPAIN) //
 
Every so often a DJ or producer comes along with an intriguing way of enlivening the music world surrounding them . . . such is the way of Xander Oliver, one of New York City’s most promising dance music talents to hit the scene. Originally from Madrid, Spain, born with rhythm in his veins, Xander’s great love affair with music began listening to the sounds coming from his father’s radio.
 
Soon he started becoming inclined towards sexy grooves, pulsing beats that later laid the foundation of his longtime love affair with Detroit/Chicago underground style house and techno; drawing influences from jazz music, indigenous tribal sounds, African and Latin drums and percussions.
 
After moving to New York in 2008 as a successful fashion model, Xander’s path began to unfold taking some shifts and turns where a new vision would emerge. As people started taking notice of his natural flare for mixing and directing a crowd it became apparent his innate understanding of people: what they sense, what they feel, what they want to imagine is the driving force bringing his name quickly into the limelight.
 
Where other DJ’s fall out of the game, Xander started surprising dance floors as a uniquely gifted DJ at heart by showcasing his versatile skills on the turntable; he has an addiction for vinyl records! 
 
If keeping himself busy behind the decks and in the studio isn’t enough, Xander chooses to take the path of least resistance in party world by maintaining daily discipline with a healthy, positive approach to his music. By starting his day at 0700 with a one hour meditation, keeps him balanced and committed to a sober state of mind. This is not only rare for one of his age but equally inspiring and infectious to those who come in his path.
 
The immediate future is promising to be pretty epic for Xander – his first EP on the horizon with high hopes to be released on vinyl. His leading desire to share his gift of music in a format that is most special to him, which undoubtedly will be a dream come true that he will only continue to expand and ascend into his bright future.
