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.

Time of Our Lives
George Acosta Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
There's a time for holding on
A time to speak, a time to listen
There's a time for us to grow
There's a time for laying low down
There's a time for getting high
A time for peace, a time for fighting
A time to scream, a time for silence
A time to scream, a time for silence
A time for truth against the lie
A time for faith, a time for science
There's a time for us to shine
There is a time for mixed believing
There's a time to understand
A time for hurt, a time for healing
A time to run to make your stand
This is the time of our lives
This is the time of our lives
This is the time of our lives
This is the time of our lives
The lyrics of George Acosta's song "Time of Our Lives" speak to the many seasons of life that we all go through. The song acknowledges that life is not static but is filled with change and evolution. The lyrics beautifully capture the different emotions that we experience as we navigate through these different seasons. The first stanza speaks to the fact that there is a time for us to let go and move on and there are other times when we need to hold on and fight for what we believe in. The song goes on to say that there is a time to speak but also a time to listen and learn.
The second stanza dives a bit deeper into the complexity of life. There is a time for peace and a time for fighting, and in between, there are times of silence, where we can choose to act or stay quiet. The song acknowledges that there is a time for truth against the lie, and a time for faith and science to coexist. It speaks to the reality of mixed believing and the importance of understanding despite our differences. The final line of the song repeats the line, "This is the time of our lives," reminding us that all these moments and seasons make up our lives.
