George Acosta - Awake (Full Album)

[@trancein305]

This album changed my life. I went from a dumb wanna be thug to really being myself. In the process I realized I love this sound of electronic music called Trance, Thanks for uploading this. Cant believe its been 17 years since.

[@krisfamily3878]

Will listen to Awake till I reach the death bed . beautifully dirty south would love to see George Acosta live

[@onewayticket995]

A live time ago, full with memories. Some painful, others irreplaceable and life changing. A time when I met very unique people who became friends for life and some like family eventhough we live thousands of miles away. Best times of my live. No regrets and if I had a time machine I'd go back and do it all over again....

[@TheDJRYNO]

I wouldn’t be a dj if it wasn’t for this album and seeing him in the club around this time. Timeless.

[@Jonwray3000]

Hearing this is a time machine to 2000

Thank God for KZbin and the uploader; not even iTunes or Spotify has this CD.

It’s so frustrating! I can’t find where I saved the album and I gave away the disc. I hope this stays on KZbin.

MUSIC THAT NEVER COME BACK...

[@Dashoost]

music that never went away, only the people did

[@Chris-CardVault]

Brings back 2 night clubs, in particular! In St. Louis, Mo. ,In the late 90's! The Velvet! And the Cheetah! What memories! Then after 3: a.m., go over to East St. Louis , Illinois and hit the Oz night club! Til the sun comes up in the morning! Took many Mitsubishi's, ( double stack ) rolling my brains out! Pocket full of Molecules! Driving the lady's crazy! Those were absolutely , hats off ! Best times of my younger years! Thank You! George Acosta! Always had your jams, in my C.D. albums!

Wish I could go back in time..

[@System777]

I went to the Shadow Lounge's closing party back in 2001. I was 19 and fresh out of high school. I moved from Cali, Colombia to Miami and was having a blast before going to college. I cant believe it's been 13 years since. I still listen to Trance (classic/old school, not this new EDM garbage) and every time I do it feels like I'm going back in time to a better place. I truly believe there will never be anything again as magical as Trance. There might be other types of great music, but the whole Trance movement is something that will never be replicated.

[@isaacbetancourt8587]

NO WAY bro, I was there. I was 18-19 and I use to party there and the Mix afterhours. Crazy how fun those clubs were and Acosta spinning. I loved dressing up in all black to go sweat your nuts off. So much fun. We might have crossed paths.

[@kitt199546]

You can also thank Orbital Robert Miles etc... As they were the early pioneers of what we call Trance. Back then, it was called "Dream Music"..... I remember when this came out. I listened to it every Saturday night as I detailed my car in Vero. Man o man how time flies........ My 2 cents. Bryan

[@kitt199546]

***** Interesting, I never looked at it that way. But I am now partial to Epic Trance. But your still right nonetheless.. Bryan

[@marcstergeorge7065]

System777 I like some of the new trance, but I hate how commercialization has really reduced its quality nowadays. I've started to get into classic trance recently. Man, is that stuff beautiful... I don't mind all the technological synths and kicks nowadays, but it sucks now that the emotion has felt almost replaced.

[@kitt199546]

***** I was just thinking of the same thing. I download all of Ori's stuff. I even got a chance to talk to him via email. Great guy.

[@Gutszen777]

It's the reason...don't stop. 🖤❤

[@spac3n1nja]

Living in Miami, I was spoiled by being able to see him at his residency Shadow Lounge. His track selections are timeless!

[@lokash777]

Shadow was one of the best clubs around while he was resident there, my friends and I went there religiously to see him. It was small, loud and the atmosphere was awesome!

[@isaacbetancourt8587]

Yeah man, me too. I remember smoke coming out of the DJ booth and him spinning. Shadow lounge till 5am and then the Mix after hours till sun-up. Good memories.

[@deyanfont]

If we only could turn back the hands of time! Shit, full moon raves at malibu and beach! Good times!

[@phatony77]

This is and has been my all-time favorite cd since the turn of the century. I recall locking myself in the dedicated "e-room" in my house which had glow in dark posters, glow sticks on the over head fan and oversized bean bag chair. Id pop an e-pill on become one with the music. What would seem like 10 minutes time and the cd was over. Love it!

[@isaacbetancourt8587]

Shadow lounge back in 99' ....brings back SO many memories. I remember going to Shadow then head to the after hours spot -- The Mix? I feel like that was it. Sunglasses, water, dancing, more water, OJ as a pick-me-upper. Thank you for sharing!

This is the Album the made me fall in Love with Trance =) Thank You Mr Acosta For a Classic Album.

[@importpappa]

George Acosta is the first trance artist I listened to, thanks to my adult son. He told me to expand my musical horizons. ( I was lost in the 60s) I have since expanded more into the trance/house/electronic music and I love it.

[@alana.9668]

The first 2 minutes of this track changed my life. When you feel like you're in heaven and escape reality.

This was the theme music in our 1 1/2 hour limo ride from the church to the reception hall on my wedding day May 26, 2000.... 22 people in a stretch hummer fully equipped with laser lights, smoke machine, strobes and Sony Play Station, not to mention a full stocked top shelf bar. Needless to say, we were destroyed when we got to the reception. It was one helluva ride!!!

Absolutely love this mix.... I used to own it on CD, but loaned it out and that person lost it... Thanks for posting. These tracks brings back so many memories... I can listen over and over, brings me back to my old club days at Karma, Crobar, and many others in Chicago... Not to mention all the after-hour parties spent listening to it... One of the best compilation mixes EVER!!

I was there in Ft. Lauderdale in the middle of it all. What I wouldn't give to do it all over again. Acosta and special K made me see things you people wouldn't believe.

[@daisytime2015]

This album helped through a dark and scarey time of my life . I listened to it in the bus everyday, at the gym everyday , in my kitchen everyday. 2002 . I had never heard music like this back then I was always a classic rock heavy metal girl …until one young guy at my work introduced me to Angel Falls…. And the rest was history , now I can even play it on the piano . Very moving Melodie’s that create and atmosphere of liberty and conquest . Thank you George and thank you Liam .

[@JCarAlvi]

Acosta is the best

[@s.trujillo8638]

[@D1SRUPTLV]

So glad I found this here. I must have had 4 copies of this back in the day because they would break or get stolen. This is his best work. This was my soundtrack of my life back in the day. Acosta, Oakenfold and Diesel boy. We will never have this again. The times have changed and music has adapted itself to whatever it is now. We all know this was the truth. Kids now will never know what it truly meant. Gouryella!!

[@clericduran]

Best Trance ever! GA has not been able to capture this same magic since this album. The mixes are perfect and it's hard to tell when a new track has started which shows GA skill in mixing. If you don't own this album than go buy it right now.

I loved this album. I’m sort of pissed at myself because I included the CD in a care package for a soldier, but I think I may have forgotten to rip it first. Then years later when I want to listen to it I can’t find it anywhere. Thanks for this. I hope this helped some soldiers get pumped up overseas.

[@Nathan-lk2mk]

From 96-99 we patrolled the Caribbean for 8 weeks at a time. When most of my deck department introduced me GA. Started w MOX; and later found this; still my favorite all time. Ybor City imports, and 1 trip Shadow Lounge. Ok. Now I’ll stop. Just had to piggy back the military shout out.

[@joeblue818]

I got the chance to see him play live at the Wiltern in Los Angeles. Best night and dope set. I will never forget. This set is epic. Changed my life and opened my mind to trance. I never looked back. Great track selection. Much love and respect for George Acosta. If he could only see this feed and see all the love.

[@Tyson12201967]
