Sameer and Jacquelina caught up with Marcie for the second time to interview her for Trance Podium.

Over the last 10 years Markus Schulz has fused the individual musical identities of progressive house & trance into his own creative, inimitable hybrid sound. Through the unique alignment of his headline DJ sets, Coldharbour label output and highly prominent Global DJ Broadcast show, he orchestrated a sea change revolution in the US trance scene - one that has gone on to have its sound influence sweep to the farthest reaches of the globe. This success has been singularly reflected in weekly headliner sets in front of many tens of thousands, a GDJB radio show listenership up in the tens of millions & one Beatport chart-topping release after another. Following several highly ranked positions in 2008 Shultz punched his way into the Top 10 of DJ Magazine’s Top 100 chart, landing at no.8. In repeating the exact same achievement in 2009, he now stands, quite unequivocally, as America’s no.1 club DJ.

Guided by a compass of seemingly magnetic emotion, songwriter/artist Aruna travels a deeply personal path of art and music marked by impeccable songcraft, a burnished voice and an accomplished musicality. A consummate pianist and graduate of the prestigious Berklee College of Music, her tireless pursuit of her passion has landed her an array of opportunities ranging from original songs in hit TV shows like MTV’s “Laguna Beach” and “The Hills” to having her song “I Got Nerve” recorded and released by Disney über-star Hannah Montana on the eponymous TV show’s multi-platinum selling Season One soundtrack.

It was only relatively recently that she was drafted into dance music, being invited in 2007 to partner with The Thrillseekers as vocalist and co-writer on the ubiquitous, critically-acclaimed single ‘Waiting Here For You’. She has since shifted her focus primarily towards electronic music, becoming one of the genre’s most sought-after singers, and amassing an ever-growing string of successful releases with such high-profile DJ/producers as ATB, Ronski Speed, Filo & Peri, Myon & Shane 54, DJ Shah, George Acosta and Cosmic Gate.
