BanYa (반야), sometimes spelled BANYA or Banya, is South Korean Andamiro's musical group responsible for creating original songs for Pump It Up. The style of its music varies greatly, from rap to techno, from rock 'n' roll to classical music.

Classical remixes are among Banya's most popular productions. Several sonatas, symphonies and pieces feature in different versions. Mixing violins, guitars and heavy beats, these songs draw particular attention from players and passers-by.

[edit] Song catalogue

The group's first two releases under the name of Banya were Ignition Starts and Hypnosis, although Bee, Solitary and The Final Audition had been already recorded by Yahpp as an independient artist. Up to 2004 they released 3 albums:

Some nonstop remixes of several Banya songs have also been made for Pump It Up.


On Exceed 2, CanCan was moved from the "K-Pop Channel" to the "Banya Channel", even though it was made by F2 Systems, who worked with Andamiro to make Extra Mix. Holiday, the other F2 song, has only showed up on Extra, Prex and Prex 2.
