Originally posted by starboy Oh yeah that whole acosta thing has been hilarious, i decided to fck with you guys because i can't stand it when bedroom dj's pick appart ones mixing style and track selection because you have your own opinion guys like acosta, although not the best, have clearly paid theyre dues to be steadily contracted to play gigs and get paid top dollar on a weekly basis, are you at that position? didn't think so. Acosta has been mixing hard shit lately thats why i listen to his weekly sets, but as far as my favorite DJ right now, its Victor Dinaire, i think his sets are better than lost world and ASOT put together thanks for reading

Lol, do you not see that you're a fucking hypocrite, and that you do the same thing to Armin? As for played out tracks, I mean, seriously, what does Acosta play? If you tell me anything but overplayed tracks you're blinded by his chins. He just mixes worse. And none of us ever said we were at his level, if I were in his position I'd do it for the money but I'd much rather be a respected DJ. I mean, when Hybrid has in their album notes "aboslutely no thanks to DJ George Acosta," that shows he isn't even respected by others in his own fucking industry. What does that tell you? I'm not gonna ride Amran's jock or anything, but 200 was bar none the best thing I've heard from any trance DJ in quite a while (granted that's not saying much...)

But I guess we can agree on Dinaire, lol. Aside from ASOT 200, that shit has been boring as fuck IMO since like, epi 100 lol. Jon O' dropping Frenzy and the Mesh remix of Symbols for the first time ever was the shit!

Oh yeah, prog is still where it's at ******s!

Alot of people like shitty music, that can make a DJ popular in no time...but some of us here who know the music know who the real proffessionals are.

Man...seriously. How has Sasha or Diggers not taken the top slot in the last few years? Or any of the handful of fucking great prog jocks, for that matter. Shit is mind boggling.

I could care less who's pro or not, and i agree with you about tiesto, i don't like his sets or his productions, the dj list is just a big popularity contest.. it meens nothing, Although PVD and Ferry deserve to be up there. It all comes down to personal preferance, plus i never said Acosta was pro, i know locals who put him to shame, i just enjoy the hard shit he plays, and yes there are MANY small time dj's who put guys like tiesto to shame, but guess what? the small timers care more about the music rather than the popularity and money.

I'll give Acosta one thing. He produced some great tracks, in the old days, but I can't stand his monotone hard trance sets. Every track sounds the same and there isn't an inkling of set progression/degression. His mixing is actually alright, and he certainly mixes better than Tiesto, but he's a fucking asshole, so fuck him. I have no respect for a dj that thinks he's larger than life. I could play the same tracks as Acosta, better, probably 95% of the time. And I'm not a superstar, but I'm far from a bedroom dj, so that argument is shite. Sasha should be the #1 dj in the world, based on his mixing, production and innovation. The guy is constantly stepping it up to the next level. It's actually absurd.

Ha so true about acosta's sets, always starts melodic then all of a sudden he matches a throbbing baseline in the transition, your also right about his early productions vs new. Just compare something like the reaper with his new junk with jon secada yuk. And about him being an ass, well when the poor guy lifts his arms up in the air he probably thinks his croud loves acosta as much as acosta loves acosta but in actuality the kids are just scketched out and etarted beyond belief, which is cool. The guy seems cool and laid back whenever ive talked to him, he's just got the ego, maybe its short man's sindrome who knows. And yes Sasha is always stepping it up, and ive always loved seeing him spin, he deserves to be up top.

When I said old productions, I meant way prior to the Reaper, although I like the track. I'm talking about the old acid house he used to write. I believe it was "Set U Free" that he was integral in writing, which I found hard to believe, but it was verified.

Interesting apparently G&D will be here on Aug 20th. I assume either the Church or Vinyl, as Dave Dresden told me they wouldn't play anywhere else in denver

Without you near...

I’ve never taken the easy music option (which would make me a lot more money by the way) but chosen to push people a little. I try to draw people in a new direction slightly and expand their taste a little more than other DJ’s." - Lee Burridge
