Bobina teams up with Betsie Larkin for the new single “No Substitute For You” on the Magik Muzik imprint.
Bobina a.k.a. Dmitry Almazov, one of only a few deck-practitioners to once be handpicked by Tiësto to support him on his "In Concert" tour, began his career in 2003. He was the first Russian DJ to appear in the DJ Mag Top 100 chart. Bobina has subsequently remixed artists such as The Thrillseekers Supermode (Axwell & Steve Angello), Armin van Buuren and Paul Oakenfold. He was also the helmsman of the 17th volume of the famous In Trance We Trust mix compilation series. After the success of "Quattro 372", Bobina released "The Space Track" and “You Belong To Me”, a production that he also made with Betsie Larkin. “No Substitute For You” is their second collaboration.
Never settling for formulaic vocal trance, Betsie continues to push boundaries. Breaking onto the EDM scene in 2008 with the instant hit “Made of Love” with Ferry Corsten, Betsie has since had an impressive list of collaborations with artists like ATB, Andy Moor, Gabriel & Dresden and many others. “Obvious” with Lange was her last installment, preceded by "The Offering" with Sied van Riel. Once gain teaming up with Bobina for “No Substitute For You”, the New York based female vocalist once again shows her versatility.
“No Substitute For You” is a heartfelt and energetic vocal trance smash that is the perfect follow up to “You Belong To Me”. Well within the realms of trance but expanding from Bobina's high energy sound, with big room and tech influences, “No Substitute For You” adds a positive, touching edge to the dancefloor.

Dimitri Kechagias review: The two excellent artists meet once again and their collaboration brings to the forefront one of the biggest vocal trance anthems of 2012. Bobina from Russia and Betsie Larkin from USA unite the two opposite worlds after the massive You Belong To Me on UK's best trance label Maelstrom records for the equally anthemic and memorable No Substitute for Love. Of course Bobina with his latest productions he seems to flirt a lot with the epic progressive house sound and this production is also moving on that direction but with definitely a more easy to categorise as trance sound to it. Powerful and banging ultra pumping beats, booming energising basslines and anthemic trancy synths along with melancholic strings keeping the magic balance that the euphoric and the melodramatic element co-exist the same time within the trance tracks in order to create that inner balance for the listener. Betsie Larkin from her side offers another exceptional performance that is expressive and really sensitive. She sings in her own unique way her touching and very meaningful lyrics that any passionate lover out here will identify with them. The package includes top radio edits perfect to crossover to the mainstream radio shows. Bobina deserves to go BIG in USA along with Betsie. Love iT!
