#53- Erick Morillo



Erick Morillo (born 1971) is a Colombian-American DJ, music producer and record label owner. Having produced under a number of pseudonyms, Morillo is best known for his international work in house music, in particular for the label Strictly Rhythm, and the 1993 hit under the pseudonym Reel 2 Real, “I Like to Move It”, which was featured in commercials, movies and ringtones.

Estimates are that Morillo made over $2 million from Reel 2 Real’s two albums. Fearing that his financial success from Real 2 Real may have hurt both his creative drive and his street credibility. Morillo abandoned the Reel 2 Real alias in 1996, after which he spent a few years establishing himself as an underground DJ, of which he is one of the top-five highest-paid in the world.

Hasn't released much music lately...but I found you guys some tunes nonetheless

Not-so fun fact: While touring in December 2008, he was arrested for possession of cocaine in Glasgow Airport. He pleaded not guilty in court on December 22. Morillo was released on bail and ordered to return to Scotland for trial in March 2009.
