 George Acosta finished his massive "Lost World 2" mix compilation only weeks ago and shortly after, the self proclaimed workaholic released "Time Stood Still". Taking his track to the stage with vocalist and singer/songwriter Ben Hague, George amazed friend and foe with the cut and now presents an extensive set of superb remixes. 

 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 fit like a glove and the remixes that now see the light of day will only add more to the party. The overhauls by Ido (Save the Robot), Steve Smooth Sephano & Torio and Michael Calderone all send shivers down our spine in their own unique way; plenty to choose from by all means! 

                                        



Dimitri Kechagias review: One of the finest masters of dance music, the dj, producer, radio host and label owner George Acosta collaborates with the super talented Ben Hague for the magnificent hit Time Stood Still. After the Original and Disfunktion Remix that is released already now is the right time for the release of the full package for what it seems to be a summer anthem guaranteed. The brand new remixes added are the following:  George Acosta's Nudisco Mix is a very summery light hearted feel good version on the fashionable sound of eclectic Nudisco/Indie style.  Ido Remix is the superb melodic prog house make over that will go down like a treat perfect to entertain the big rooms. As you expect the sweet heartbreaking breakdown is followed by massive climax that will give the glorious pay off moment. Steve Smooth Sephano & Torio Remix is the louder, punchier epic prog house version that offers the long, teasing, touching breakdown followed by maddening and in your face climax with tough basslines and banging beats. For the big room/progressive trance fans Michael Calderone service the deep dark but driving and energetic trancer that has the power to move and keep the clubbers jumping and sing a long the beautiful lyrics. Superb additional remixes and must watch music video. Love IT!
