Taken from his pan-genre ‘Same Difference’ long-player, here comes the next single testimony from Russian electronic dance don Bobina. Following the orchestra-driven euphoria of ‘Sacramentum’, the trance-noir of uber-deep ‘Basque The Dog’ and the infectious house elevation of ‘Miami Echoes’, he expands the album’s range again. Featuring the vocals of the infinitely talented Ana Criado, here comes the much anticipated
‘For Who I Am’.
Kicking off ‘For Who I Am’s single release, Bobina himself has expanded the album’s original into a stunning mood-fused Extended version. With the intro’s long held sweeping notes setting its tone, he laces it masterfully with pianoforte lines and the deep LFO throb of its bassline.
Having previously sung on releases by some of electronic music’s biggest names (W&W, Markus Schulz Armin van Buuren and Alex M.O.R.P.H. being just a few), Holland’s Ana Criado sweeps the track floor-bound. With its moving theme of unfulfilled love providing its emotional core, Bobina brings the steel, with an incising leadline, which takes the track out of the dark and dazzlingly into the light.
To do full justice to one of ‘Same Difference’s numerous highlights, Magik Muzik have lined up a comparably impressive remix-rank to take the track to pastures new. On his rework Giuseppe Ottaviani brings ‘For Who I Am’ peak-of-the-night floor-physics. Channeling pure energy trance into every drum, synth and bass note, he raises it to an Everest-high zenith.
Estonia’s Beat Service furthers ‘For Who I Am’ trance-progressive ends. Sonorously maximizing the reach of Criado’s voice, he balances the song’s pathos with melodic sequences and punch-packing drums. Newcomers Viente & Airen meanwhile start their mix in a deceptively deep ‘n’ moody space. Once clear of the intro though the pair deliver a sudden rush of blood to the head, letting the sirens rip, pitching the synths up high and glitching the FX to effect bring about an atomic conclusion.

Dimitri Kechagias review: The Russian superstar dj & producer Bobina team up with Ana Criado and the beloved song writters Adrian & Raz for the exceptional track For Who I Am that is super classy and one of the finest vocal trance anthems for the autumn/winter. Magik Muzik presents the full package packed with awesome brand new remixes. First of all is the extended version of the album track. Powerful driving progressive trancer with pumping beats, driving basslines and wonderful breakdown with heartfelt piano and huge distorted rave style synthy lead that pushes the track towards its massive climax. Hands in the air anthem with piano theme to remember for long. For the Beat Service remix review click here. It includes dub version of this remix too. The Italian talent Giuseppe Ottaviani strikes back with his remix services and deliver the magnificent prog trance killer remix to smash your sound system. Big room rework with distorted grungy basslines, techy beats, warm strings and long and amusing breakdown that leads to the hugely euphoric crescendo moment in the climax that will make you fly on the dancefloor without doubts. Giuseppe reworked the original synthy lead in his own unique style that sounds very symphonic and orchestral or better very Giuseppe. Viente & Airen are on the mission to translate the original into their own epic prog house context and they do it exceptionally well with heavy hard basslines, pumping rough beats and smooth melodic breakdown. If you play the EDM festivals mainstage sound is a must cause will have huge impact on your floor! The package includes very useful radio edits as well. Love iT
