REVIEW: Aruna - What If / Sunrise out on Enhanced recordings


Following on from the release of her exceptional debut mix compilation album 'The Hot List, Vol.1' which peaked at #36 on the iTunes Dance Top 200 and continues to receive extensive support, Aruna delivers a timely dose of two of the compilation's hottest tracks, her very own brand new singles, set for a February EP release on Enhanced.

With a 2015 spent hard at work in the studio, Aruna's newest records 'What If' & 'Sunrise' position the seasoned producer/DJ/vocalist at the forefront of a new fusion of melodic Trance with progressive house flavors. 'What If' opens the release and sees Aruna teaming up with ever-present duo Ost & Meyer in an anthemic production merging Aruna's infectious, emotive vocals with an unmistakable, chugging energy to form an emphatic opener.

'Sunrise' ties up the release with a techy yet summery combination of flexing basslines and sunsoaked chords perfectly matched next to another helping of sublime vocals from Aruna. Teaming up with Aerosoul, 'Sunrise' showcases the musical voice of both producers to create a nicely balanced, uplifting chunk of melodic Progressive House peppered with subtle Deep House textures.

Aruna's back and better than ever with this finely crafted two-song journey into her ever-evolving, boundary-blurring signature sound.





Dimitri Kechagias review: Enhanced recordings is officially the home base of the talented singer, song writer, DJ and even producer Aruna. What is missing from that list is her own record label too. Aruna delivers not only one but two fresh vocal anthems. First of all is the brilliant What If that includes the most optimistic lyrics that you can think of and can help you to believe that there is always way to get out from difficult situations if we use our imagination and faith by saying What IF. The remix production  belongs to the magnificent Ost & Meyer who really know what to do and turn anything they touch into gold. Pulsating basslines, pounding bouncy drums, emotional synths, melancholic piano chords and euphoric themes that uplift your soul straight away. Just imagine yourself singing along and dancing until there is no more energy in your body. Equally magnificent is Sunrise remixed by Aerosoul who add that mixture of epic progressive house with big room trance in one explosive version that will crossover to wide variety of dj sets. Electro infused synths, pounding cranking drums, and party hard synths along with rock guitar like riffs. Quality lyrics, emotional synths, heartfelt performance and quality production values for those who want something a little bit more that is classy and touching. 10/10 #PureGold Love It
