George Acosta Voted America’s Best DJ

Ibiza, Spain—The votes for America’s Best DJ are in, and the winner is: George Acosta.

With representatives in attendance from title sponsor Pioneer Pro DJ, and co-sponsors DJ Times and Sirius Satellite Radio, Acosta accepted his award from 2006 winner Jonathan Peters at Ibiza's luxurious El Pacha Hotel this past September 7.

The longtime Miami DJ was humble in his acceptance speech. "I came from nothing and, because of that, I'm very grateful for this award," says Acosta, who fled Cuba for Florida as a young boy. "In my career, I've worked very hard for this and I would like to thank the voters, plus DJ Times, Pioneer and all the sponsors for this great award."

In its second year, America’s Best DJ Presented by Pioneer Pro DJ-and sponsored by DJ Times, Beatport and Sirius Satellite Radio-also was supported by a 40-date Summer Tour, which culminated in Las Vegas this past September 2.

Additionally, voters for America’s Best DJ earned over $25,000 in prizes from sponsors. They included: four trips to Ibiza to witness the award ceremony; valuable Pioneer Pro DJ gear; Stiletto 100 receivers from Sirius; free downloads from Beatport; and free subscriptions from DJ Times.

The final rankings of America’s Best DJ voting are: 1) George Acosta (Miami), 2) BT (Los Angeles), 3) Bad Boy Bill (Chicago), 4) DJ Boris (NYC), 5) DJ Skribble (NYC).
