XAVIER

Let’s go back to where it all began in 2001. Keen on learning to DJ, Xavier would hang out in record stores in Vic, using the tables and the records in the stores to practice with. This went on for about a year, while he slowly built up his collection to a serious arsenal of breakbeats and funky house. Then it was quickly on to playing island raves & house parties, slowly building a following, amongst the local scene by himself and with his homie Wes Beanz as W.A.X. Fast Forward 18 years. 200+ parties, 200+ opening gigs, and a good handful of headlines, Xavier is still pushing his boundaries behind the decks. His main squeeze is House music and in his ears, there’s nothing better than some good keys, a solid beat and a smooth bassline. X spends hours upon days, endlessly digging for something better than what you heard last night, his main goal; making sure you never leave the dancefloor. Just a handful of names that the wonder kid has shared the stage with are Hook N’ Sling, Evil Nine, Plump Dj’s, Stanton Warriors, Alex Metric, AC Slater, Treasure Fingers, What So Not & even Hodor (Kristian Nairn) from Game of Thrones. Xavier has played at Tall Tree Music Festival and Song & Surf Music Festival many times and has even held an international residency on Koh Tao in Thailand, at the Maya Beach Club. If you’ve ever seen X on a lineup, don’t miss his set; it’s always magic and will leave you wanting more. Keep your ears & eyes peeled, the future has a lot in store for Xavier.
