REVIEW: George Acosta with Ben Hague - Time Stood Still out on Black Hole recordings


1-Original mix
2-Disfunktion Remix

George Acosta finished his massive "Lost World 2" mix compilation only weeks ago and already the self proclaimed workaholic is back with a brand new vocal trance smash. Taking his track to the stage with vocalist and singer/songwriter Ben Hague, George proudly presents "Time Stood Still". 

 George's career of more than 20 years in the industry reads like a book. Born in Cuba and a long-time resident of Miami, the man established his name with the mega-selling 1996 hit "Set You Free", won the award of "America’s Best DJ” in 2007 and became member of the ‘Remix and Producer’s Grammy Committee’. Signed to Black Hole, Acosta scored big time with “Beautiful”, “Love Rain Down On Me”, “True Love” and “Tearing Me Apart”; all featuring his muse, Fisher. This time George engaged Ben Hague for the vocal part of "Time Stood Still". Ben Hague, as many will know, entered the scene with a bang after his collaboration with Ferry Corsten for the single “Ain’t No Stoppin’ A Good Thing”, which was followed up later that year with the heartbreaking floor filler with Beat Service “Why Me?”. 

Every aspect of "Time Stood Still" breathes the hot, summer breezy style of electronic dance music that defines the outdoor atmosphere of everything between a vast festival performance and an impromptu, intimate private pool party. Ben Hague's crystal clear vocals will have everyone sing along and for the more techy gatherings, George added the slightly rougher Disfunktion Remix. 



Dimitri Kechagias review: The legendary and trend setting record label Black Hole recordings presents another super hot release to blow the speakers so better be prepared for something pretty huge. The awesome George Acosta who loves to dj, produce and host his radio show delivers the prime time weapon for mass destruction Time Stood Still.  First of all is the superb original mix that George showcase his skills to impress with breathtaking solid and tight composition with tough and rocking main parts and very emotional and heart touching breakdown that sensitive sweet and sour melodies coexist in harmony with Ben Hague v who is another top singer who was discovered from the pioneer Ferry Corsten. The lyrics are above the rest and the usual words we usually hear  in an EDM track. Ben's performance is heart breaking with a dose of melancholy that is very inspiring to sing a long and trying to sing and sound really great like him.  So every single element is bound together to impress and get people in that party mood. The good news become even better with the Dutch super duo Disfunktion offering their remix service to turn the excellent original into a massive euphoric progressive house banger with Swedish touch to it. Excellent work done in the breakdown with pizzicato piano chords and the mouthwatering euphoric synths to crawl under your skin and raise the hair from your back. Its like an explosive bomb so treat it with care. Love iT!
