Erick Morillo @ Crobar Written and Photographed By Krisztina Fazekas

Have you ever heard the name Erick Morillo? If not, you are not a party person who is mad for house music and dancing all night in the club. And you are also not one of the 4200 people, who spent the night at Crobar on November 26th.

As a producer, Erick Morillo has churned out tracks under a bewildering array of pseudonyms (Ministers De la Funk, Pianoheadz, RAW, Smooth Touch, RBM, Deep Soul, Club Ultimate and Lil Mo Ying Yang to name but a few). As a DJ, Erick has played the world over from his base in New York - to Los Angeles - to Ibiza, Greece and beyond. As an artist, he's making headlines the world over, in press, on radio and on television. Working with top-name artists, Erick Morillo is taking house music to the next level, with the aim to make it as big as hip hop.

After a weekend in Amsterdam and Utrecht in Holland, and Naples in Italy, a Thanksgiving break with family eating turkey and watching football, Erick Morillo was playing his first non after hours set in eons on the 26th of November at Crobar. And this time the audience could meet him face-to-face, because he was DJ’ing from the stage, not the DJ booth. And this contact was important to both the fans and to Erick. He waved and smiled to the people on the dance floor as if everyone was a personal friend. The clubbers were entranced, so much so that sometimes they forgot to dance and just stood there watching him.

Here’s some info for all those who could not get enough of Erick or were unlucky enough to not be at this party. The second installment of Subliminal Winter Sessions, mixed by Erick, is arriving soon. This two CD set features Erick's top tracks from last summer in Ibiza so go buy it so you can get through the winter blues.
