Erick Morillo Tour Diary November 2011

December 16th, 2011

19 Nov 2011: Oro, Punta Cana Dominican Republic

This was our first time here in Punta Cana and this was the grand opening of Oro. As you can imagine we were very pleased to get this party started! Arriving at the venue I could not help to see so many familiar faces. Everyone we know on the club scene from LA, Miami and Las Vegas was in the house. This venue boasted a huge LED wall an amazing Funktion One sound system and one of the best lighting shows I’ve seen to date. Erick rocked up to the dj booth to find himself in a room eager to explode! Erick smashed this set playing some of his own production and from the crowds reaction it was very well received. I say it all the time Erick feeds off the energy of all his friends in the dj booth and tonight was no exception. This was amazing night from beginning to end. I look forward in returning and special thanks David Grutman and his entire team. You guys keep throwing some of the best parties and now you can add Oro, Punta Cana to your resume.

23 Nov 2011: Pacha, NYC

In the club world this date marks as one of busiest nights other than NYE. No matter what, this night had EPIC written all over it. Pacha was billing this party as Erick Morillo Vs Danny Tenaglia! Wow two house music legends underneath one roof. I can’t begin to tell you how packed Pacha was by midnight. I mean the lines of clubbers outside were wrapped around the corner. I walked into the dj booth to find Cevin Fisher warming up the dance floor very nicely. Before you knew it there was a blackout and Erick’s intro began. The crowd went into a frenzy when they saw Erick. We gave Pacha a special treat this evening. Shawnee Taylor stopped by and she graced us all with her beautiful voice. She sang Stronger and Live Your Life. This was going to be a night to remember. Erick played an awesome set but the night was still young. Next up house legend and New York’s own Danny T! I thought this roof was going to blow. Danny started his set with some strong hits and true to Danny form, took it old school. Danny T told a story tonight that New York City will be talking about for weeks to come. So many people stopped by to say hello, here’s a few- Boris, Lord, Jason Strauss, Max Vangeli, Victor Calderon and of course all the lovely ladies, that some how still get passed me every time. Special thanks to Eddie, Dean and Rob Fernandez and of course all the fans that stayed till the end.

26 Nov 2011: LIV, Miami Beach FL

No better place to come and end an amazing week of parties. We headed back down South to Miami. LIV has now been nominated best club in the USA. All I can say is this place brings out the best of Erick and tonight would be no different! As I approached the club I could not believe how many people were outside waiting to get in. I mean it was only 11 pm in the evening. Erick made his entrance to find the DJ booth packed with all his friends and the hottest women in Miami. Erick started his set with a bang and the night would continue like this bomb after bomb! Our boy Chuckie stopped by and what a treat the fans got this evening. Erick and Chuckie went back to back for the last hour or so. This was a treat to watch and night to remember for ages! Special thanks to David Grutman, the entire LIV family and of course all the fans. See you all soon!

Morillo’s Tour of Brazil Nov 2011

November 2nd, 2011

Brazil loves Erick… and Erick loves Brazil! With some of the wildest parties, venues and clubbers in the world, there’s nothing quite like the Brazilian nightlife experience. And that means it’s the perfect playground for a DJ who knows how to get the crowd into the palm of his hand every time.

Erick Morillo returns to rock a selection of the biggest and best clubs in this famous party nation this month, with 5 consecutive nights taking him from the beach to the forest to the city.

It kicks off in Rio with a return to Praia Club on the 11th Nov, followed by a trip to headline at the Salvador Weekend on the 12th. Then it’s on to another beach paradise in the form of Bahia Bonita Beach Club for the Trancoso Weekend on Sunday 13th. No tour of Brazil would be complete without a trip to Green Valley (Mon 14th) and finally the mighty Sirena in Sao Paolo on Tues 15th.

“I can’t wait to play in Brazil again,” says Erick. “It’s always one of the highlights of my year and this Tour looks like it’s going to be especially good. I love the country’s people and all the amazing clubs, so let’s party Brazil!”

August 31st, 2011

Tonight’s Subliminal Invasion party at Pacha in Ibiza see our Dirty Dutch friend Chuckie return to the main room that he’s lit up on every appearance for us this summer.

He joins Erick and ‘Stronger’ partner Eddie Thoneick for a killer DJ line-up that sees August on the island come to a fittingly crazy climax.

Unfortunately the voice of house music, Shawnee Taylor, hasn’t been able to make it to Ibiza tonight after illness, flight problems and New York’s storms all conspired against her, but that voice will no doubt be singing out across Pacha’s soundsystem regardless. (Listen out for first plays of the latest remixes of ‘Stronger’, due for release later this month on Subliminal Records.)

With the action kicking off at the pre-party at Cafe Mambo from 9pm, you’s better be ready for the Invasion…

Big Bambossa and Subliminal Tunes

July 16th, 2011

Two more massive tunes that you may have missed, but shouldn’t live without!

As a contrast, DJ Dove’s recent debut on Bambossa is a proper tough club track and comes with a killer Harry Choo Choo Romero remix (that you can also hear/buy from the player above) that is one of the hilights of Erick’s forthcoming Subliminal Invasion double mix album, out August 1st.

New Erick & Harry Single – Pa Ra Ra (Shake)

March 29th, 2011

Fresh out today is Erick’s latest single, this time a collaboration with long time studio sparing partner Harry ‘Choo Choo’ Romero.

Pa Ra Ra (Shake) reveals the shape of things to come as the guys have been seriously hard at work on new music lately, and this track is one that Erick himself describes as “very special”.

Coming on strong like a 2011 take on the classic ‘Ultra Flavor’ with catchy vocally-led drops. This one you’ll be hearing stand out in DJ sets everywhere throughout the summer.

It’s releaased on Harry’s Bambossa Records, an imprint that recently joined Erick’s Subliminal stable and is very much part of the grand plan for house music domination in 2011. You like what you hear so far…?
