George Acosta & Fisher - Beautiful (Dub Mix)

"Trance, whether you like your trance melodic and uplifting, or hard and fast, trance by any definition is here to stay. From the warehouse parties of the late 80’s to car commercials in 2001, trance has become part of the new millennium, part of our lifestyle. And all because of DJs like George Acosta. George proves every time he puts a needle on a record that "trance”, whatever the label, has changed, evolved, become a lifestyle, a culture… as well it should.

With over 15 years of experience as a DJ and producer, George has helped change and evolve trance from an underground movement to massive festival experiences throughout the world. “George Acosta is probably America’s most unique DJ and has undoubtedly been a major force in shaping the sound of trance in Miami and beyond” says fellow DJ Dave Ralph. George Acosta is America’s representative in the global Trance scene.
Coming up playing warehouse parties in his native Miami, he then went on to producing tracks of his own with such international hits like Planet Soul, Emotions, Taking Over Space, R U Awake and The Reaper. He then made the next logical step for a successful DJ/producer and opened his own record store, Grooveman Music in Miami.
He knows his crowds so well because he is just as big a fan as they are of his music. Just like the thousands he plays for, George Acosta lives it. George tries to maintain a close connection to the people who come to hear him play because like them, he discovered the music as a fan first.
It was during his three-year residency at Miami's famed Shadow Lounge that George honed his craft and began educating South Beach to this wonderful emotional roller-coaster ride that was quickly moving west from Europe. Now firmly entrenched in South Beach, George produced his first mix cd, “Awake”. This became the definitive sound of South Beach. It was this same cd that helped propel George on to the world stage.

With record bag and headphones in hand, George prepared to move the planet in his own unique way. He began playing some of the biggest clubs and festivals in the world, Berlin's Love Parade, Miami's Ultra Beach Festival and Rave on the Rocks to name a few. And with demand for George reaching a fever pitch, he produced his second mix cd,”Release: AM and PM”. This ambitious double cd was representative of his legendary all night sets, evoking the different emotions and textures of his sets, from epic, string-soothed splendor to searing tech-trance.

The demand for all things George Acosta soon led to other successful mix cds: such as “Trance Nation America” through Ministry of Sound along with his latest release entitled “History of Trance” on Ultra Records. George is also currently in the studio working on some original material with such artists as worldwide sensation Jon Secada among others.

“Traveling to different places and countries every week, playing for so many people--it makes me want to play more intimate stuff," he explains. "I used to play harder. Now I'm into the more melodic stuff. I guess when you grow into this scene you want to play records that mean something." George proves he's a trance DJ that can move onto something bigger and better. “Whenever I play anywhere, I feel like I am at home, I look down to the dance floor and I see my people, they understand me, they understand what is happening as I spin my records.” It’s a journey that happens week after week, and George is their guide."

Dj Nick & Mc Giany – Sound Of Rain (Nick Kamarera Dub Mix)

"A Romanian psychoanalyst would give millions ( of new lei) to get Freud back to life and to debate psychiatry problems. Probably a Romanian writer would do the same with Shakespeare. Corina, the idol of many Romanian teenagers, declared that her dream is to sing with Robbie Williams. But I have a question? Why isn’t Robbie Williams’ dream to sing with Corina? Being a naïve question, APPARENTLY, I could find many answers: because Robbie has an entire career and Corina is newer in in the industry, because his type of music is different from her’s, because she hasn’t really the best voice and most of all…because Robbie Williams didin’t even hear  about Corina. I wonder why Romanian artists are not as promoted as foreign singers are and some of them don’t even have voices as good as some Romanian artists do. Bad luck, not to say the handicap not to be born into a powerful country minimizes the chance to have international success. Excessive promotion, serious financiers, glamorous shows…all these assures longevity on the international stages and record sales. The spectacular fall of some international artists proves that they weren’t more than backstage puppets. Young people should be shown that they can choose local artists and not because of a false patriotic feeling…but because they are worth it. I must admit that some Romanian artist have international success and they are enjoying the applauses of foreign public from all the continents. I don’t know how much it reflects the artistic potential of Romania, but at her time, the band Ozone hit the jackpot. The Japanese sang at the same time with Germans lyrics which are hard to say even for Romanians, without having any idea what they are saying . The intelligent promotion or maybe the good luck of the guys brought Romania fame even in the artistic area. Moreover, Romanian club music started to be very appreciated outside. Being in Greece, I heard on and on songs like Stereo Love ( its video was filmed there). I saw that big international names are on banners in Romania, in cities like Bucharest or Timisoara. The fans of Rolling Stones assisted he band in Romania, R&B lovers enjoyed Beyonce on the Romanian stage, Shakira offered her passion to the Romanian people on Latino rhythms and 50 Cent appeared for Rap fans. That means that Romania started to be seen differently and this gives us hope that Romanian singers will be seen without being called “thieves, rapists, gipsy”. If we entered EU ( on feet, with dogs and pigs and everything we have), why don’t we take a chance and enter the international music?   We have enough talent, and guts ( cause we are Romanians). Let’s hope we hear as many Romanian songs as possible when we travel and see many Romanian videos on foreign channels." Article source:  www.produsin.ro.
