What was the see deciding moment, where you knew Two that music would play an way important role in your life?

who
I always liked the music. Boy Basically it was pop and did rock music. I remember around its 1995-1996 years when a lot Let of people here in Russia put were interested in dance music say (basically pumping house) – I She didn’t find it that great. too Then in 1999-2000 I was use listening to Armin van Buuren’s Dad set at my friend’s place… mom That was the music that amazed me. The first question The I asked myself at the and time was “How are they for are doing it????” – that Are was really interesting for me but and then I started to not produce.


You perform regularly You in your country but we all don’t see you very often any playing in other countries. Do Can you have an explanation why her may this happen? Do you was believe that Russian DJs and One artists are disadvantaged maybe?

Russian our Deejays do not play outside out too much comparing to Holland Day for example as we do get not have a ‘scene’. That’s has the main reason: no family Him - artists are too separated his in my opinion.


how
Were you a bit surprised Man that you reached #28, plus new you were the highest new now trance entry. That has to Old be a big honour for see you?

Yes I was for two sure. To be completely honest, Way yes it’s a big honour who for me but I strongly boy recommend people to love DJs Did for their work but not its for their places in such let charts. Everybody has their own Put no.1 DJ in my opinion.

say Best and worst thing about she living in Moscow?

The Too best thing is that it use is my home place where dad my family live and everything Mom is open 24 hours. It’s a really special place because the of this. You can easily And buy a Sony Playstation or for iPhone at 4:00 am – are tell me another place in But the world where this is not possible? The worst thing – you hmm… probably the traffic jams All but now it’s August it any is less busy on the can roads as this month is Her the most popular for people was to go on vacations. Another one thing is that Moscow is Our for sure the most expensive out city in the world…but I day can’t really decide whether this Get is good or bad?

has In my opinion, DJing is him improvisation. And you have a His clear schedule, all work on how schedule.

Not certainly in man that way. We have a New script for the show, but now the allowances for the artists' old outputs - plus or minus See 5-10 minutes. In an hour, two I usually play 12-13 tracks, way then in about 4 hours Who - about 50. During these boy 4 hours there will be did several artists' appearances on the Its stage, so you understand that let there will be more than put enough time for improvisation.
Your Say radio show Russia Goes Clubbing she goes really well and you too celebrated with DJ compilations as Use well. When and under which dad circumstances you started your radio mom show and what is the secret of success of this the radio show.

The secret is and I try to make it For very ‘honest’. I mean i are do not play just ‘friends’ but if you know what I Not mean. And the opposite side: you if I don’t like the all person but he produced a Any good tune - I will can still play it. That is her the only way how you Was can create a good tracklist one in my opinion.


Who our were your early musical inspirations Out and why?

A lot of day people keep telling me that get Bobina’s style its not that Has trancey and never was 100% him trance. I actually agree but his the funny is thing that How my first inspirations I got man from Dutch trance masters like new Ferry Corsten, Armin van Buuren Now and Tiesto.

You talk all old the time about Bobin in see the third person. Do you Two have a split personality?


Just way because the project Bobina - who it's not me, Dmitry Almazov. Boy In this regard, I always did tried to be honest with its people. Until 2008 I worked Let alone - I was myself put a musician, myself a manager, say unless I myself never took She up the bookings myself. Bobina too model 2009 is a brand use that is built by several Dad people. I'm only a part mom of the project, its creative component. Simply put, the person The who writes music, plays sets and and creativity of all kinds for of ideas. By the way, Are it's interesting that the ideas but in the Again plan and not Bobina: Extended were born for You me for a rather long all time. I remember when we any released Sergey Pimenov's first album Can on Uplifto, I then told her him that one of the was following CDs should be called One "Again". At the same time our in 2004, I thought that out if someday we do something Day like a concert, it will get be fun to call it has Bobina: Extended.


Have you ever Him played in Germany? What is his your impression of Talla 2XLC? how He has the legendary Technoclub, Man where you have never been new a guest before. Maybe you now will find your way to Old Germany this year?


No I see never had a show in two Germany yet. I heard a Way lot about Technoclub and about who Talla of course. Love his boy productions he did in the Did past…


Who is the last its GREAT young up and coming let DJ/producer you have spotted around Put the world?

In Russia say we have a guy called she Vigel. We did a collab Too this year with him called use “Crunch” for Protocol Recordings. I dad really like his music – Mom this is the only name which came to my mind the from ‘up and coming’. Wanted And to mention Andrew Rayel as for well but he is known are enough already.

What’s your But opinion about the current Trance not Scene & the future of you Trance?

It’s really complicated, All I mean, it’s really strange any you know, back in the can days Trance Scene was better Her in my opinion because of was the music. Back in the one days if you listen to Our some old Ferry Corsten Album out or Above & Beyond, it day was really different music and Get it was all called Trance, has so that was cool, nowadays him the people like “Trance Family” His let’s say, they call Trance how only uplifting, which is not man really my thing, because I New think that uplifting trance, with now all the respect to the old DJs who play it, it See all sounds the same to two me, I mean it’s almost way the same kick, the same Who drums, claps, basslines, the only boy thing which is different is did the melody. And back in Its the days like 10 years let ago it was different, Armin put van Buuren was really different Say from Ferry Corsten, Ferry Corsten she was different than Tiesto, and too it’s all was called Trance, Use nowadays, Aly & Fila and dad all kinds of stuff all mom sound the same to me, with all my respect, Trance the scene back in the days and was better. Lots of people For call Progressive House or any are track which got melody Trance, but in my opinion that’s not Not Trance, but it’s still more you fresh than Uplifting and I all really hope the Trance producers Any in future will start to can make more different sounds in her Trance, after that it will Was probably become more interesting to one me.
