Any George Acosta fan here?...
Not really a fan but Im enjoying his new stuff lately. Last time I saw was at Club Deep 2004 I think lol...
i love this one.
my friend did an awesome mashup of falling backwards. off topic but here it is:
as for george acosta himself, he's put out a few dece tracks but i don't really hear any hype about him. last time he was in nyc there was another competing night and i don't think any ta's went to see him haha
Yah its kinda sad though, cause if you think about it, with his name, youll think hes a house dj lol... but yah, heard him once and he was really awesome just that he doesnt or never had the chance to do the right venue, thats my opinion.
One of my favorite DJs definitely. I love his style.
Haven't liked his productions lately though to be honest. Too poppish.

Maybe commercialized but not too the extent that some other dj/producers did. I would like to hear/see him spin in the NYC area again though... and I totally agree, he has his own sound as well...
not a big fan of his current work but back then he was an all time fave. as the others, he shined on 2000-2002 era ... i mean he had this
and the imfamous mix George Acosta ft. Ayla - Angelfalls
Nice...
Ah, Acosta... Saying that name brings so many memories back!
At least in Miami he was the freakin' man from 1999 through 2004. With his albums like Members on X, Awake, Release AM and PM, Next Level, Touched,
and Miami and him being owner of Grooveman Music and a resident of Shadow Lounge and then at Level which is now Mansion, then at Club Spy which is now Set. Yea, I am taking it back! Lol
He had weekly broadcasts from Level, his release parties were insane! He really helped bring trance to Miami, while everyone was listening to house, and trust me, it was the crappy Miami house! Lol
The problem with Acosta is that he got too diva. One year he didn't get main stage at Ultra so he did not play and only played at Club Spy along with Alex Gold that year, I am pretty sure that was either 2002 or 2003. Then he got in a fight with the people at Level/Mansion so he did not show for his last show there. And he was in a fight with Space owners and w it was a running joke that he wouldn't show either during WMC but he did (that was in 2006, epic night of when it was Weds/thurs morning, Armada night was in main room and Mauro Picotto was on the terrace for Meganite, Acosta thought he was playing mainroom but played on the terrace around 9 am but was playing the same songs everyone heard earlier in the night).
My friend is on his management team now, and he is still getting booked and I hope his popularity picks up again. He has always been a FLTA favorite, it was thanks to him that I am the trance whore that I am today lol and I would never trade in a million years all those times I saw him spin, best memories ever!
Last time I saw Acosta live was a Rave at Shelter...
UTOPIA 2 WEDNESDAY, NOVEMBER 26th 2003
no offense to those who are chill wit him but he is a very arrogant and a bit of a prick

I'm flying to Alanta today, my friend is opening for George at a cancer benefit. Looking forward to it. I DLed his lastest radio show (lost world 326), a live show from Seattle. I like it. He has some good mashups and even samples Traffic a few times. 45 minutes in, he's killin' it and then he drops some pop lyrical track at 120bpm with little bass. Fail!!!
Besides that, a great show.
Yes Angelfalls is a classic and yes, last name 'Acosta' from Miami, gotta play house. Lol!!! I was supprised first time I heard a set.
