I really like The Next Level, but apart from that his stuff doesn't really appeal to me.

In the liner notes of Hybrid - Wider Angle, they write:

quote:

We would like to thank everyone involved ... especially Rockit Cargo who managed to transport half of our studio around the planet and get it back in one piece. Absolutely no thanks to DJ George Acosta

Does anyone know what this is about?

lol, i remember hearing about some Hybrid vs. George Acosta gossip, but can't remember now what happened. some dissing and fighting over who was the headline act at an event perhaps?

Great DJ. "The Lost World" is an awesome listen. And yes, I'm one of the people that joke around in the GDJB chat as well... >.<

we have a polls section for polls though, it allowed us to release coup on conditional bail that he moderates it, by not posting this there, he cannot work and may end up back inside, won't somebody please think about the coupie ?

Acosta is total crap. I don't understand what people see in him other than the fact that most of his traclists are 3-4 years old which I wouldn't have a problem with if they were actually good tracks but they are usually shit. His mixng is far from good, in fact I have seen him just trainwreck and cut the bass so no one knows he is wrecking. He is also known as being a complete dickhead and egomaniac. He has been a no-show to several events because his name wasn't big enough or high enough up on the flyer and he always has the club rope him off from the people so that they dont annoy him. He had a bad gig at Glow once so he decided to pour a glass of champagne on the cd decks. The guy is a total classless POS and a horrible dj to match.

Gotta agree with everyone. As of recently (last couple of years), Acosta has turned into utter shit.

There was once a time when Acosta was a good DJ...but money and fame can change anyone.

The thing about it is that hes trying 2 bring a new style tho just like he did with Just be and it worked. they songs areunt TOO HIGHT up. but the vocals acaully are the best thing in 2007. The Track Carpe Noctum is like traffic but it hink he could of prefected the shit ouf it. but generalllyy its an amazing album...oh and Ten Seconds Before Sunrise is like Forever today TIMES 12

He's okay. Chris Lawrence does more for trance in US than George, but people don't notice that.

That sounds extremely shocking ... I wouldn't be able to make such a conclusion after listening to his Live @ The Lost World sets though ... but, since more than 2 people have been pouring out similar comments, I guess I have to believe them ... (shocked)

Yes, I am well aware of the Polls section, but this thread is more of for discussion than for a poll ... poll is a secondary option - and just look at the options - WHAT KIND OF A POLL IS THAT? So, I decided to place this thread in this forum, which I think suits just perfectly ....

if they were arguing over who should headline then hybrid is of course the obvious answer

i like his style and cd's, but i dont like the man himself, he's a stuck up piece of shit in my opinion. i dont know him personally but judging from his behavior ducking out at shows when i was in miami for ultra just because he didnt feel like doing the gig. thats some wonderful dedication to his fans, one of my friends is a huge fan of his and went to ultra with him in mind and even went to another venue down there because he was headlining, guess what.. he ducked out on em both.
then i saw him when he came to atlanta and he had an arrogant pissy attitude about him. one of the local trance dj's that opened for him that night said he was stuck up as hell too.

i own one of his cd's but i bought it back before all this happened when i used to like him, now i have no respect for him whatsoever.
so even though i do like his stuff, i voted that i dont like him
