ERICK MORILLO
There really is very little in the world of music and entertainment that Erick Morillo hasn't turned his hand to. He's a platinum-selling artist, he's topped the charts worldwide as the producer behind Reel 2 Real's hit "I Like To Move It" (used in both Madagascar movies, reaching millions of viewers worldwide and covered by Will I Am in Madagascar 2) and he's been responsible for a bewildering array of dance-floor tracks including 'Reach', 'Believe', 'Do What You Want' and 'I Feel Love' - under pseudonyms including Ministers De La Funk, The Dronez (with Harry 'Choo Choo' Romero and Jose Nunez) and Li'l Mo Ying Yang. He's remixed everyone from Whitney Houston to Basement Jaxx and continues to run the legendary Subliminal Records house music empire. On his debut album he collaborated with Puff Daddy and Boy George alike. And on his second solo artist album he's setting his sights even higher: "We've already put the message out to Prince and 50 Cent," says Morillo from his palatial home in Miami, where he has lived for the past four years. "The time is right. Dance music has been received really well, not only by people in clubs but also in the American mainstream. The success of Lady Gaga and Black Eyed Peas means that dance music is being played by MTV. The pendulum has swung back."
For over a decade now, Erick has remained one of the most in-demand and instantly recognisable DJs in the world. From the instant success of his weekly 'Sessions' parties in New York, to hosting events like the annual road-blocking Subliminal Sessions parties in Miami at Winter Music Conference, to his coveted residency at Ministry of Sound (he's still one of the only American DJs to ever hold one) and of course his now legendary Subliminal Sessions parties at Pacha, Ibiza, he'll now be celebrating his 13th historic season at the club in 2010. His non-stop DJing schedule has seen him straddling the globe playing up to a whopping 30 gigs a month, particularly in the summer months where he'll play from Rome and Mykonos to London and - but never far from his weekly Wednesday show at Pacha, Ibiza. He's also become a familiar television personality through his appearances on MTV and MTV Ibiza two years in a row whilst starring in a seven part series for UK TV station, Channel 4, which followed him around the world to the biggest parties and was aired to millions of viewers.
