Aruna's ear for the euphoric is unparalleled. Her first compilation for 'The Hot List', which as a podcast has seen ever-growing success and consistent iTunes Top 200 chart positioning, is comprised of a hand-picked selection of tracks which demonstrate Aruna's established ear for grooving Trance and Progressive along with her consummate skills at crafting mashups in addition to the latest works from the wide range of pivotal artists she's worked with amongst others.
Here's Nick Karsten's 'Prank It' which is an energetic, rolling piece of intricate electro-synth work, whilst PARITY bring a suitably titled workout in 'Clash' which sees them craft an exquisitely moving Trancer, alongside The Madison's 'Junky', another example of the gorgeous & grooving style so reminiscent of Aruna's trademark style.
With a career as far-reaching, multi-faceted and star-studded as Aruna's has been so far, for her to describe this compilation as 'a highlight in my career' is a bold statement - the barometer has rightly been set high.

Dimitri Kechagias review: Aruna is a great singer and of course fantastic dj as while. Her compilation on Enhanced Music called The Hot List brings together the best and most appropriate tracks to her very unique style of trance and progressive. In our hands we have 3 exclusives included that you can not afford not to check out. Firstly is Nick Karsten with the very dynamic Prank It. Rough edgy basslines, pounding drums and exotic ethnic vocal while in the breakdown old school breaks and piano chords will make the difference and uplift the spirit. The drop is demanding with uplifting colorful synths and certain hardstyle influence in it. Second is PARITY with Clash. Heavy demanding cranking wobbly bassline upon the flexible banging drums while the full on synths uplift your spirit and raise your consciousness. Luscious and truly mesmerizing breakdown with melancholic piano melody followed by euphoric synthy stabs that explode out of any proportion. Lastly is the top The Madison with the very unique and quite challenging production Junky. The breakdown is very well sound designed with themes and atmospheres that put a spell on you and attract you even closer to the speakers. The climax is anthemic and positive with dreamy synths and pumping pulsating grooves that make you instantly to jump along and enjoy life to the fullest! #PureGold Love It
