Bana
Shaped by her path from Bogotá, Colombia, to San Juan, Puerto Rico, and now New York City, Bana’s sound creates space for feeling and release through deep, immersive textures and deep-groove rhythms. Each set is carefully curated to invite introspection, connection, and movement, drawing inspiration from labels like Studio Barnhus and Kompakt. Traces of her Colombian and Caribbean heritage shape her rhythmic sensibility, adding warmth and pulse to her sonic language.
Ana Maria, artistically known as Bana, is a New York–based DJ, visual artist, and co-founder of Audio Studio, a creative collective launched alongside Marco Araneda. With a background in art direction and design, she approaches music as narrative—merging sound and visual storytelling to craft intimate, emotionally driven experiences on and beyond the dancefloor.

Their rooms
One tick a night, on the one axis this page has — Aug 2023, where the listings start, to Jan 2027, the last night anybody has announced. The shaded end has not happened yet.
- MAD Radio NYCJan 2026 – Jun 20262 nights
Once each: Apollo Studio, Bogart House, Dead Letter No. 9, H0L0, The Last Call and Xpizza. Five of the 13 listings never named a room, and are not counted as one.
Who they play with
Counted from the bills themselves, over bills of twelve names or fewer. A pair's count includes a night that is announced and not yet played; where there is one, the row says when.
