Erick Morillo was a foundational force in modern house music, rising from New York City roots to become a global dance staple. Raised in Union City, New Jersey, with ties to Cartagena, Colombia, Morillo crafted a sound that bridged underground grooves and mainstream anthems. He broke through as Reel 2 Real with The New Anthem in 1992 and exploded worldwide with I Like to Move It in 1993/1994, a track that crossed charts in multiple countries and remains a dancefloor touchstone. Morillo founded Subliminal Records and Subliminal Management, guiding artists and releasing influential club anthems like Fun with Da Mob, a United States Dance Club Play #1 hit. His 2004 artist album My World showcased collaborations with icons such as Puff Daddy and Boy George, reflecting his broad musical reach.
