♬ Founder and resident DJ of the Wobble and OpenAir parties in NYC, and a former resident at Cielo, Arana has steadily built a reputation as one of the city's most intriguing and meticulous deep house/tech/electronica DJs by moving dance floors with bending basslines, intricate layers and an uncompromising focus on musicality beyond the simple boom-boom.

Arana honed his musical ear composing on classical guitar and playing in rock bands as a teen in California. After moving to NYC for law school, he fell in love with dance music, taught himself to DJ as he juggled life as a corporate lawyer, and then launched the first Wobble parties in 2004. 

Using a 3-channel setup and an active mixing style, Arana's sets frequently push into live-remix terrain through looping, layering and fader cuts, with sometimes surprising movements between bright/uplifting and dark/dirty extremes. Whatever labels are attached to his style, Arana has an uncanny ability to hear the harmonic, rhythmic and melodic elements which inspire authentic movement and feeling on the dance floor.
