kenl Posted December 3 Report Share Posted December 3 Acosta is great. Depends on what list your talking about. Thedjlist.com he is number 30http://www.thedjlist.com/djs/GEORGE_ACOSTA/ Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ovrdose Posted December 3 Report Share Posted December 3 seen him twice, both times he spun very cheesy/fluffy/commercial trance. that's probably why. haven't really heard anything from him recently. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kenl Posted December 3 Report Share Posted December 3 agreed. His sets can be a bit cheesy but he is a talendted mixer. Fans of Paul O etc. would like him Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kutekimee Posted December 3 Report Share Posted December 3 I dunno....Acosta is iffy... last time I saw him at Spirit, he started off badly...predictable trance tunes that sounded like any other trance anthem, but at the end of the night he somewhat redeemed himself and spun some harder trance tunes that had me movin. Oh, and friends that have spun with him said that he's a cocky mofo. But that doesn't have anything to do with his DJin skillz....hehe...

exit24e Posted December 4 Report Share Posted December 4 Pretty much they use the list as proof that he really is the number 1 dj in the world. Funny thing is they hate on trance so much, but wont get off Tiesto's nuts. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Shawnnyc1 Posted December 5 Report Share Posted December 5 ACOSTA is off the hook. He always plays uplifting trancey stuff. He's great to listen to and never disappoints live or on his CDsToo bad he's always in Miami and hardly makes it to NYC Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
zeeker Posted December 5 Report Share Posted December 5 Acosta spins the same stuff that almost all big named trance DJs spin...in terms of popularity, you need really good productions. Nothing with his name on it comes to mind. He's a good dj though Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bassboy Posted December 5 Report Share Posted December 5 Kenny! You think Acosta is great!I've seen him more than 15x times (many times against my will) and he is really really nothing special. Typical trance stuff, mixes for about 15 seconds, and you have half of his tracks on CDs at your house. And I don't think he produces at all.... but whateva!

silverbull Posted December 5 Report Share Posted December 5 His only production that comes to mind is PLANET SOUL- SET U FREE. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
starchild2010 Posted December 5 Report Share Posted December 5 I agree , he is a cocky snobby ass..... skills he has , but if he wants to be anywhere further in his carreer I suggest that he starts to write and produce and of course spins his own stuff. Otherwise I don't see him anywhere else but in warehouses or cheesy clubs. My fav album is Awake, it's old but I still pop it in once in awhile.

whytevinyl Posted December 6 Report Share Posted December 6 Acostas mixing good?Hardly, Acosta is one of my fav djs, because of the kind of style he plays, if given enough time, or on some of his cds, he loves to go from that "cheesy" trance to MUCH harder stuff, brings alot of engery and has no problem keeping the floor moving. BUT, his mixing is def the biggest flaw of him, just pick up any one of his cds, preferably the TOUCHED cd he came out with..want some examples go to cd two and listen to his mixes, Awful...How about song 6 into 7 (the wave)..or 7 into 8 and because of the track selection on this cd its one of my fav he put out, but to say his mixing is great..def. not true.
