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!  |
Amen
