A world exclusive for the new video from Erick Morillo, Eddie Thoneick featuring Skin on gigwise.com. With legendary Skunk Anansie singer Skin taking control of the vocal line, and the undisputable touch of label boss Erick Morillo and regular partner in crime Eddie Thoneick on production duty, Subliminal’s springtime big hitter ‘If This Ain’t Love’ receives its official release – rather appropriately – on Valentine’s Day.
A heady combination of dance floor dynamite and raunchy, sex infused rock, the track continues the winning pairing of Morillo and Thoneick, whose previous collaborations ‘Live Your Life’ and ‘Stronger’ dominated global airwaves and taste-maker charts across 2010 and 2011. From the outset, ‘If This Ain’t Love’ is in a class of its own. The unmistakable voice of Skin provides an almost ethereal, euphoric dynamic against Morillo and Thoneick’s pumping house set-up. Soaring across thundering guitar riffs and uplifting piano chords, the singer’s emotive performance lifts the track higher and higher as the beats caress the bass lines underneath her.
The Sympho Nympho mix puts a more prominent dance edge on the track, with Erick, Harry Romero and Jose Nunez flexing their more-than-considerable musical muscles, perfecting the original with enough energy to rock the biggest rooms, stadiums and festivals on the planet. The video is set in a futuristic world, with dazzling visuals; ever-iconic Skin is bought to life by the power of music under the watchful eyes of computerized masters Morillo and Thoneick.
Erick Morillo & Eddie Thoneick ft. Skin – ‘If This Ain’t Love’ is released on February 14th 2012 on Subliminal Records worldwide.
Look at what we found… an unofficial video lovingly crafted from Erick’s last visit to the mighty Avalon in LA.
“I love it when people get creative and make videos from my parties to put up online,” said Erick, on viewing this for the first time last week.
It’s a sexy video to be sure, (check out the snake dancer at 3:10!) and a taste of what to expect this weekend, as Erick returns to the Hollywood-based club.
“I’m really looking forward to Avalon this weekend.” He says. “It’s by far the best venue on the West Coast, and we’re expecting a ridiculous roadblock outside the club, and a crazy ride inside.”
This is Erick’s official Christmas blowout for the LA crowd, but expect to see more of him at Avalon in 2011.
“I’ve just bought a house in LA so will be spending more time in the city,” he reveals.
“Expect some really special parties, starting with this Saturday night. See you there…”
The second red hot Voodoo Nights video of the week for you here. Following the scenes from Sao Paulo that we posted on Monday, this one is from the following week when Erick brought his highly successful Ibiza 2010 party theme to Amsterdam.
This is a really high quality video production from the club and includes the Eddie Thoneick dub of ‘Live Your Life’. Perfect tackle to set you up for the weekend ahead – enjoy!
Another great Erick Morillo video for you today… this time it’s footage from Erick’s recent tour of Brazil, where he brought Subliminal Sessions summer Voodoo Nights theme direct from Ibiza to South America for the first time.
The video features the venue being set up which shows the scale and ambition of this event, before the party itself kicks off and things get wild…
Hot new video from the first of Erick’s three big Halloween parties last month. Check out the costumes and the wild scenes as Atlanta’s Opera Nightclub witnesses a Morillo Massacre!
If you didn’t happen to catch it on TV last night (although from the response on Twitter and Facebook loads of you obviously did), here’s Erick’s appearance on CNN as their ‘Connector of the Day’.
He speaks about everything from the importance of Ibiza to his work on Subliminal, and his early Latin music influences to plans to set up a charity in Columbia.
Great to see dance music getting some hugely positive exposure on such an important global platform, and who better in the world to do it?!
Another week in the life of Erick Morillo. Another truly unbelieveable video!
This time, join Erick as he plays host to the one and only Kelis, singing live at his Voodoo Nights party in Ibiza. Then it’s over to London for the massive SW4 party, where Erick smashes it in front of thousands on the main stage.
For more on these amazing parties you can read the weekly tour diary, and remember to subscribe to erickmorillovideo on YouTube to be updated on new videos and see them first.
Check out the new video for Erick and Eddie’s summer smash, ‘Live Your Life’. From Miami to Ibiza, this behind the scenes footage shows the history of the track as it blows up globally.
With exclusive access to the studio session, rehersals and the stage at events including the massive Ultra Music Festival, and insight from vocalist Shawnee Taylor. The track is well and truly dominating the clubs in Ibiza right now. Damn, who spotted Tiesto tweeting “Live you life, be free, you know you can have it all” on his Twitter this week?!
Miami WMC & Ultra Music week is on us again and I’ve got 3 great events to shout about. First up is Subliminal Sessions at Amnesia on Tuesday 20th and with me is my Subliminal family 2012.

On Friday January 6th 2012, Pete Tong on his famous Radio 1 show in the UK, played the new track from Erick Morillo and Alexandra Burke, Elephant. He played the SYMPHO NYMPHO (Erick Morillo, Harry Romero, Jose Nunez) remix of the track.
It was the 6th track played in the show, either side of Kaskade and The 2 Bears.
You can listen to show again until 14th January 2012
Thankfully Soundcloud is back up and running today so we can share a couple of recent bombs from Subliminal and Sondos with you.
Check out Erick, Jose and Harry’s In The Screen mix of Lola, ‘Thinking of You’, a huge vocal cut that has been doing the business all summer long.
Then there’s also Stephan Luke’s ‘Body Talk’, a tough track that delivers the goods on the dancefloor every time.
Both have had full support from Erick and have been the summer soundtrack to countless parties everywhere. Time to grab your copy if you don’t already own them!
Plenty more where these came from too. Check Subliminalrecords.com regularly for the latest news and previews…
With a massive summer weekend upon us, it’s time to highlight 2 more massive tunes we’ve put out over recent months.
First up is the feelgood Richard Grey & Maboo Inc peaktime monster ‘Turn This World Around’ featuing a mighty Nyx Syrinx Nelio Remix that has been doing the business at Pacha Ibiza for weeks now.
Then there’s another of Harry Choo Choo Romero’s recent run of amazing solo and partnership productions. The buzz about ‘Tambores’ has been proved right by the crowd reactions whenever it is played.
Both are huge records that Erick has been playing and if you don’t already own them, now’s the time! Beatport links are in the Soundcloud players above – perfect club music to play very loud over the coming days…
Plenty more where these came from too. We’re releaseing music every week: Subliminalrecords.com
Two more massive tunes that you may have missed, but shouldn’t live without!
First up is a floating summer remix of 2010’s Subliminal classic ‘Alive’, which Brockman & Basti M take off into sunset grooving territory, totally changing the vibe of the vocal.
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.
Here are 2 recent club smashes from Subliminal and Sondos that Erick has been dropping to wild effect in his sets in Ibiza and beyond.
Antranig rips the speakers apart with his trademark no-holds-barred style on ‘Back That Up’ while Jason Herd makes a welcome return to production on ‘It’s OK’.
Both are available to buy from the players above, so if they’re not already in your collection, sort it out in time for the weekend ahead. Boom!
Erick returns to launch his hectic summer schedule tonight at V Live in Chigago, followed by El Paso on Friday and by his infamous Memorial Day Weekend party at Tao Las Vegas n Sunday.
With his musc anticipated new single ‘Stronger’ with Edie Thoneick and Shawnee Taylor coming on June 21st, we thought we’d highlight these amazing mixes of their smash from last summer ‘Live Your Life’ and also Roney Seikaly’s most recent Subliminal release.
Expect to hear this kind of music all night long (Erick’s playing for 8 hours at Tao!) And with Ibiza kicking off in less that a week, it’s all systems go…
This week we’ll be highlighting some more recent tracks on Erick’s labels that you need in your life… if you haven’t already got them!
Today it’s the turn of the rejuvenated Subusa Records which is home to the latest Markus Binapfl joint, ‘Disco’, a track that screams peak-time mayhem.
Then there’s ‘Cuba’, bringing the carnival vibes to Subliminal with a track that should still be being played right through the summer.
Two recent Subliminal and Sondos remix packages for you, in case they passed you by earlier this year. Although it’s difficult to imagine either of these tracks slipping under anyone’s radar once they heard them…
Sign up (free) to be a Subliminal VIP for notification of all our releases, including the Bambossa and Subusa labels too.
Still tearing up dancefloors everywhere are these 2 recent Subliminal releases that deserve your attention whether you be a clubber, a DJ or a plain old lover of good music.
John Dhalback comes to Subliminal with a mighty label debut in ‘Flirt’ – a party starting tune if ever we heard one. Meanwhile Richard Grey and Sebjak are back in the studio together for ‘Fallin’ – their partnership throws out nothing but peaktime stormers and this is no exception!
