OK, let’s cut to the chase. The clubbing scene in Russia and Eastern Europe is massive. Think mega raves in castles, disused military bases, forests and much more. Their thirst for clubbing has reached fever pitch and there’s one DJ sitting at the top of the pile – Bobina, AKA Dmitry Almazov.
Some facts:
The only Russian DJ to appear in the DJ Mag Top 100 (2007, 2006)
The winner ‘Best DJ’ at the Russian Dance Music Awards (2007)
The only Russian DJ to participate at the massive Trance Energy Festival
The only Russian DJ to perform at the Miami Winter Music Conference
Remixes and releases on Nebula, Ministry Of Sound, Perfecto and Armada
‘Ask me to name one of the most talented producers in Russia and the first name that comes to mind is Bobina’ – Ferry Corsten
Many other top producers are ready to add their voices alongside Ferry. In an interview with Russia’s leading clubbing site Paul van Dyk said he admired Bobina’s work.
The Bobina project was founded in Moscow in 2003. His debut album Catchy! (2004) blew up trance floors across the country and became one of the biggest club soundtracks in Russia. At the same time two singles Lazy World and September Rain were released and established Bobina’s popularity in Europe through receiving support from Trance big guns such as Armin van Buuren, Paul van Dyk, Paul Oakenfold and many other DJs.
Bobina’s second artist album Beautiful Friend was released in April 2006 and quickly became one of the most commercially successful releases of the year in Russia, with over 10,000 CDs sold in it’s first week, the video for the title track received heavy rotation on MTV Russia and MTV Dance UK.
The last two years have seen Bobina locked in the studio working relentlessly on his own productions but also on remixes for massive global mega stars like Armin, Oakenfold, Thrillseekers and Supermode, all helping Bobina’s profile to steadily rise on a global scale.
In 2007 Bobina began work on this his third artist album Again, having already dropped one single from the album Lighthouse featuring Dutch uber vocalist Elles de Graaf which effortlessly opens the album and with another Slow, a cover version of Kylie Minogue’s chart topper about to drop, things look set to explode for Russia’s leading superstar DJ. Elsewhere on the album Trance vocalist du-jour Tiff Lacey lets lose on Where Did It Go, a sure fire peak time stormer, whilst the tempo moves up with tracks like Spinning with its Cafe De Mar-esque riff and the aptly titled Go Get Vodka which pours liquid adrenaline across the dance floor. In true Trance fashion the album rounds up with the back-to-mine laziness of That’s What I Did For You and finishes off with nicely with one last burn in the shape of "The Last He Said"
On the worldwide DJ circuit, it’s time to look east people as Russia’s leading light Bobina is about to shine!
