DJ Arana

DJ Arana (Guilherme dos Santos Galdino, born on October 7, 2005, in Itaquaquecetuba, São Paulo) is a Brazilian funk producer and DJ who started making beats on his phone in 2016 and quickly moved into the São Paulo bailes with a style often linked to “funk bruxaria,” built on dark textures, horror-movie atmosphere, and aggressive drum programming. After early releases such as the EP Carreira Solo (2022), he broke through nationally with “Montagem Anos 2000” (2023), a track built around a sample of Black Eyed Peas' "My Humps" that pushed his sound beyond the baile circuit and reached number 18 on the Billboard Brasil Hot 100. In 2024, he kept expanding that momentum with singles including “É Só Um Lance Lero Lero” and “Forte Forte de Lacoste,” both of which received diamond certifications in Brazil, and he drew international press attention when his track “AQUELA MINA DE VERMELHO” was highlighted in a Pitchfork decade list. In 2025, he moved into album-format statements with M.B.D.T. (2025), released in June as a nine-track set anchored by compact MC collaborations, then shifted gears later that year with O Último Anjo (2025), released in November as a 12-track conceptual project tied to a broader visual narrative and a more cinematic, storyline-driven approach to funk production. In 2026, he added another high-profile collaboration to his catalog with “Calafrio” (2026), credited with DJ KN de Vila Velha, MC Ryan SP and MC Jvila.
