Bobina - The Producer: Taking the name from the Russian word for a reel-to-reel tape, Bobina sprang to life in Moscow in 2003. Moving the act swiftly towards its first album, he released his freshman long-player, ‘Catchy’ in 2004. Bobina’s sound spread wildfire-like across his home country, turning ‘Catchy’ into the country’s first #1 electronic dance album. ‘Lazy World’, the first single taken from it was signed to the DeepBlue label in the UK and marked the first international step in Bobina’s career. In 2005 Dmitry followed this up with the vocal anthem ‘September Rain’ under the moniker Zenon. With A-list DJs Ferry Corsten, Paul van Dyk, and Paul Oakenfold wasting little time in picking up on the track, it was signed to the NewState/Maelstrom music group for a UK release. This deal ultimately paved the way for Dmitry to sign Bobina to the highly respected imprint. His 2006 follow-up album ‘Beautiful Friend’ posted week-1 sales in Russia of over 10,000 units and the video for the single of ‘Beautiful Friend’ made the Russian and the UK’s MTV network hotlists. After taking time out to begin establishing himself as a remixer (see below), in mid-2007 Bobina pushed forward with production on his third album, ‘Again’. ‘Lighthouse’, the first single taken from it enjoyed heavy airplay across Europe and earned Bobina the ‘Most Rotated Artist’ accolade at 2007’s RDMA’s (Russian Dance Music Awards). ‘Slow’ - an electro-trance cover of the Kylie Minogue hit - followed it in April 2008 and set the scene for the release of ‘Again’ the following month. Selling over 40,000 units in the first 3 months of release, it became Russia’s best & fastest selling electronic dance album to date. It has gone on to spawn the singles ‘Invisible Touch’, ‘Time & Tide’, ‘Lighthouse’ & ‘Honestly’. In September of 2009 the album for followed by ‘Again Remixed’. Featuring reworks of all the album’s tracks, it prompted DJ/producers like Ferry Corsten, Gareth Emery, Sean Tyas & First State to contribute reworks. In November both ‘Again’ and ‘Again Remixed’ were re-packaged to form a 2xCD set ‘Again – The Special Edition’ for the UK’s Maelstrom Records label. This made Bobina the first Russian electronic music artist to release an album outside their home country. Most recently with ‘Rocket Ride’ - his fourth studio album - Bobina commemorated the 50th anniversary of Yuri Gagarin’s first manned space expedition. In July 2011 the album took flight and saw Bobina dominate both radio waves and club floors with the singles ‘Angel of the North' and ‘You Belong To Me’.
Bobina - The DJ: 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), Gatecrasher Summer Sound System (2008), The World DJ Festival (2011) and Global Gathering (2009-2011). In 2010 he played an estimated audience in excess of 60,000 at the Moscow Day celebration in Lubyanka Square. He was one of only a few deck-practitioners to be handpicked 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 and, as of 2011, has now spent 4 consecutive years ranked as one of the 50 biggest DJs in the world.
Bobina - The Remixer: Aside from his original production work, Bobina has carefully honed his craft as a remixer. Following the release of ‘Beautiful Friend’ he locked himself into the studio for almost two straight years perfecting the art and working on remaps. He has subsequently remixed artists such as Oakenfold, Armin van Buuren, The Thrillseekers Supermode (Axwell & Steve Angello) and for world famous labels such as Ministry of Sound, Perfecto, Armada and Nebula. In 2008 he reconfigured Morandi’s ‘Angels’ for Universal Music, with the track going on to become Russia’s most successful single music release of that year. Most recently he has remixed JES and Ronski Speed’s single ‘Can’t Stop’.
Russia Goes Clubbing – The Bobina Radio Show: Beaming out around the Russian Federation through the country’s leading DFM network, Russia Goes Clubbing is Bobina’s once-a-week, every-week snapshot of what is making the country’s cities boom. It is broadcast through stations in 50 of the biggest cities in Russia and has a listenership of a staggering 10 million+ dance fans. RGC also has a massively popular podcast edition, which is downloaded by Bobina fans in all four corners of the globe. In late 2011 the show expanded it reach further, when Ukrainian station KissFM began broadcasting it weekly across its network.

Bobina Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
So I put my best dress on
Boy I was so right
Our eyes connected
Now nothing's how it used to be
No second guesses
Pull focus close up you and me
Nobody's leaving
Got me affected
Spun me 180 degrees
It's so electric
Slow down and dance with me
Yeah, slow (slow)
Skip a beat and move with my body
Yeah, slow (slow)
Come on and dance with me
Yeah, slow
Skip a beat and move with my body
Yeah, slow (slow)
Don't wanna rush it
Let the rhythm pull you in
It's here so touch it
You know what I'm saying
And I haven't said a thing
Keep the record playing
[Chorus]
Slow down and dance with me
Yeah, slow
Skip a beat and move with my body
Yeah, slow
Come on and dance with me
Yeah, slow
Skip a beat and move with my body
Yeah, slow
Dance with me yeah
Read my body language
Slow, slow, slow
Take it down, down
Slow, slow, slow
[Chorus]
Come on and dance with me
Yeah, slow, slow
Come on and dance with me
Yeah, slow, slow, yeah
The song "Slow" by Bobina feat. Mariske Hekkenberg exudes a seductive and romantic ambiance that encourages listeners to slow down and immerse themselves in the moment, letting the rhythm pull them in. The singer knew that her love interest would be present on this particular night, and she dressed her best. As soon as their eyes met, they both felt an immediate connection that changed the vibes of the room. She feels utterly enraptured by his presence, and everything around them seems to come to a halt, with only the two of them existing in their little bubble.
The singer invites her love interest to slow down and dance with her, creating a very intimate moment for the two of them. The music encourages them to skip a beat and move with each other's bodies. The singer emphasizes that there is no need to rush things; it is the moment that counts. She wants to enjoy the feelings that come with being close to someone, without any pressure.
The lyrics of "Slow" suggest a desire to have a temporary escape from reality and the daily struggles of life. The connection between the two lovers at that moment appears to be a safe haven, a place where they can be present with each other and not worry about the rest of the world. The song's vibe is sensual and passionate, concentrating on the natural rhythms of the body in its purest form.

Great that this is finally getting a release. It was one of my favourite remixes of "SLOW" and why Parlophone never snapped it up was a mystery! Hopefully the instrumental or a dub will be released, so a high quality version with Kylie's vocals can be used.
