Miami-based DJ/Producer George
Acosta begun spinning records while in his teens, emerging as a staple
of the underground rave circuit thanks to his appearances at clubs
including the Omen, Le Boom, Mach 1, XS Frankfurt, the Shadow Lounger
and the Love Parade. The founder of his own Waxhead Records label,
Acosta remixed everyone from b-52's to Ultra Nate in additiong to
issuing his own records, which include 1997's Miami Beach Bash, Volume
2 and 2000's Awake. The double series Release: AM Edition and Release:
PM Edition followed in early 2001. He and trance guru ATB collaborated
on Trance Nation AMerica, Volume 2 later that summer.
Among
the many current projects that bring Acosta around the world, perhaps
the most exciting is his Mint Musik Digital music distribution company.
As the advancement of digital technology speeds faster and faster, only
those who embrace the digital age will survive. New artists and records
are being signed to Mint Musik Digital in exclusive distribution deals,
with news being announced soon.
