For the last 6 years, Bobina (aka Moscow-based DJ, producer & label
impresario Dmitry Almazov) has formed the tip of Russia’s electronic
dance spear. His globe-circumnavigating DJ adventures have taken him
around the planet numerous times, playing tent-pole events like
Gatecrasher Summer Soundsystem, Trance Energy, and the WMC. Through his
label, World Club Music, Bobina has been the single greatest catalysing
factor in the Federation-side careers of Armin, Tiësto & Above
& Beyond, releasing their artist albums throughout her caucuses. On
the production front he has released numerous singles, 3 critically
acclaimed artist albums and along the way prompted Ferry Corsten to say
that Bobina is: “one of the most talented music producers ever to come
out of Russia”. Bobina is without question Russia’s first dance
SuperTsar!
Spinning an evocative, floor-combusting combination
of vocal & instrumental trance, he’s brought the Bobina sound to
tent-pole events like The Winter Music Conference (2006), Trance Energy
(2007) and Gatecrasher Summer Sound System (2008). He was one of only a
few deck-practitioners to be hand-picked by Tiësto to support him on
his ‘In Concert’ tour. In 2008 at the RDMA’s Bobina was recognized as
The Audience’s Best DJ. In October of 2009 he took over Moscow’s
legendary Gaudi Club for his first spotlight DJ concert. Bobina
Extended saw him thrill a home city audience of over 3000 with a 4 hr
set performance, making him the first DJ from the country to do so.
Notably Bobina was also the first Russian DJ to appear in the DJ Mag
Top 100 chart. In 2008 he debuted at no.28, only to shoot up inside the
top 20 the following year (to the no.16 spot).
