Erick Morillo Disc Jockey
After completing his deejaying course, Morillo began DJing at local clubs, in places like the Love Sexy music lounge on Hudson Street in Hoboken. While working at a club in nearby Weehawken, Morillo met Latin reggae star El General, with whom Morillo became friends. The two collaborated in 1991 on the single, “Muevelo”, a mixture of reggae, house music, and a sample of T99’s techno single “Anasthasia” that became a surprise hit, and went platinum.
As his remixes became familiar in Latin clubs, Morillo branched out through his friendship with New York house veteran “Little” Louie Vega, whom he met through then-unknown singer Marc Anthony, with whom Vega had worked on the seminal 1992 house anthem.”
DJ Erick Morillo Subliminal
Despite being believed to have made over $2 million from Reel 2 Real, Morillo feared that his financial success may have hurt both his creative drive and his street credibility. Wanting to create respectable house music, he produced “Jazz It Up”, launching it under the label of the Erick Morillo Project, in order to ensure street credibility. The song did well and boosted his confidence. He and Louie Vega collaborated as Lil’ Mo’ Ying Yang and released the 1995 single “Reach”.
Morillo intended the third album for Reel to Real, but his relationship with the Mad Stuntman soured, which derailed the project. Searching for a way to reinvent himself, Morillo attended The Forum, a self-help seminar in New York City, where he gained insight into finding happiness through things other than wealth and his frantic work schedule.
The seminar also enabled him to escape his creative rut by helping him analyze his past and set future goals, one of which was to become a successful global DJ. He abandoned the Reel 2 Real alias in 1996, and concentrated on DJing, becoming a favorite in Ibiza, Europe, and Australia.
