George Acosta

George Acosta, a DJ and producer rooted in Miami, first began spinning records during his teenage years. Performances at spots such as Omen, Le Boom, Mach 1, XS Frankfurt, the Shadow Lounge, and the Love Parade soon positioned him as a fixture on the underground rave circuit. He launched his own imprint, Waxhead Records, and supplied remixes for artists ranging from the B-52's to Ultra Nate while also issuing original projects that encompassed Miami Beach Bash, Vol. 2 in 1997 and Awake in 2000. The paired Release: AM Edition and Release: PM Edition collections appeared in early 2001. Later that summer he partnered with trance specialist ATB on Trance Nation America, Vol. 2. Acosta maintained a pattern of annual releases that included Miami in 2003, All Rights Reserved 1 in 2006, and All Rights Reserved 2 in 2008. A follow-up to Lost World surfaced in 2013, and a greatest-hits compilation arrived the year after. In 2017 he delivered All of Me, which spotlighted Ben Hague, Rob Noble, Shakeh, Danielle Simeone, and additional contributors.
