October 10-16, 2002 musicpicks George AcostaCalled the "Techno Trance Conductor" and the "Miami Trance Cowboy," George Acosta is right up there with trance pioneers like Taucher, Sasha and Oakenfold. He's currently one of the world's leading trance producers and DJs, thanks to his prestigious DJ residency at the Shadow Lounge in Miami's South Beach. His melodic, journey-inducing, heart-gushing trance sets lift you sky high -- always bursting with energy that's more anthem-laden than your average progressive trance/house. He drops a pounding, vigorous, speaker-shaking vibe with German and Belgian undertones, fueled with emotional ecstasy and tear-jerking harmony. The veteran initially penetrated the dance world with his platinum-selling single "Set U Free" (under the name Planet Soul), and has since released a couple of mix CDs that demonstrate the crowd-pleasing, trance-in-your-pants sound that enthralls the South Beach trance fanatics. The Euro-trance master and current owner of Miami's legendary Grooveman Music record shop has already rocked crowds at NYC's Twilo, Spinclub XS and Germany's Love Parade. Now he's here to share his metronomic joy with Philly. Indian Summer with George Acosta, Michael Myers, Matt Kling, Starchild, Steve Singer, Jason Gaul and Ed Sittler, Sat., Oct. 12, 9 p.m.-6 a.m., $20, Shampoo, 417 N. Eighth St., 215-922-7500.
