hello TranceAddicts, good to find a forum like this still kicking about these days.
one of my hobbies is going through the bins at the record shop finding new and interesting CDs. this weekend I picked up a handful of new discs, including a 2CD chill out comp titled "The Late Night Mix". when I got home and pulled off the wrap, I discovered that only the first CD was in the case and the second was instead a disc labeled "Serious Music For Serious People - 1st Anniversary Mix". it credits a George "Grooveman" Acosta as the producer on it and has a matrix stamped as though it were an official release, but I have been unable to find any concrete info on this release.
it appears to be a CD filled with some pretty classic trance tunes, there's a Binary Finary 1998 mix on here and some other bangers I vaguely recall from the time. through some Google-fu, it looks like this might be a performance by Cuban DJ George Acosta from a Miami Beach club called the Shadow Lounge from sometime around the turn of the millennium. it looks like the DJ uploaded the set to his Mixcloud page , but I can't find any other real info about this disc.
I'm just wondering if there are any sages here who might know a little more about this release, what it was for, where it came from, etc. please forgive me if this is not the right forum to post in - it didn't feel much like an Unknown Track request so I wasn't sure if I should post this in there or not.
here's a photo of the disc itself, if it helps:
thanks for any insight anyone might be able to share - I've thoroughly enjoyed this mix after listening to it. I love when these happy little accidents occur while dumpster diving for discs like this... |

wow, this is awesome info, thanks so much! I really love that poster, and that solves the mystery of the serious music slogan. the Taucher stuff certainly seems in line with the tracks on the disc - I spent the morning ID'ing all of them. there's a Taucher remix of Blank & Jones "Flying To The Moon" as well as a remix he did of Ayla on there.
I like one of the comments on that 2nd Anniversary youtube link: "Shadow lounge was the Mecca in Miami then. George Acosta had it going then." this makes me feel as if I've stumbled into a much-beloved memory of the Miami Beach club scene. how it ended up in a dusty bin way up in the northeast, we'll never know....but whoever owned this had good taste, that's for sure |
