Arca is a Barcelona-based electronic producer, composer, and singer. Born in Caracas, she moved with her parents to the United States as a child before returning to Venezuela and later going back to the US for college at New York University.
With her unique blend of experimental sounds and captivating vocals, Arca has become known for pushing boundaries in the electronic music scene. Her compositions are often characterized by their haunting melodies and intricate production techniques.
Having collaborated with renowned artists such as FKA twigs and Kanye West, Arca's influence extends beyond her solo work. Her innovative approach to music has earned her critical acclaim and a dedicated fan base worldwide.

An independent record label, XL Recordings was launched in 1989 by Richard Russell and his team. Originally an off-shoot of City Beat Records, XL quickly became known for releasing rave and dance music. Over the years, XL has grown to become one of the leading labels in the industry, managing a roster of talented artists including *Leah Riches*, *a6001996*, and *a60243*. In 1996, XL officially incorporated and became the copyright-holder of its releases. To celebrate their 15th anniversary in 2004, XL launched their XLXV series of re-issues. Today, they continue to thrive as a pioneering force in the music world.
