Erick Morillo and Harry Romero — two thirds of Sympho Nympho – are welcoming Alex Kenji into the mix for Subliminal’s next energy-packed production. “Flamenco” builds with a cultural combination of mystical latin strings and a soulful Spanish vocal, which drops into firing synths, relentless snare, and an intricate bassline. Between outdoorsy Miami vibes and late night club appeal, the latest offering from Morillo’s squad delivers the dance chaos we’ve come to expect. Kenji’s contribution only diversifies “Flamenco,” making for a unique Subliminal release available on Beatport.

Ain’t no party like a Subliminal party? Label head Erick Morillo and Harry Romero‘s remix of T3ktone and Harry Choo Choo Romero’s “Beat Of The Drum,” out a few days ago on Subliminal Records is one hot dance floor track. Imagine yourself posted up in front of the DJ booth when this one hits and immerse into the fat bass lines, drums, and snares. Add in a dash of acid house 303 and we’ve got ourselves a bonafide deviants’ anthem. Listen to the preview and purchase on Beatport after the break.
As we announced earlier this week, Pacha NYC is hosting an event tonight from 5pm to 5am EST showcasing the talents of fifty different DJs in order to raise money for the affected by Hurricane Sandy in the New York area. 100% of proceeds from this event are going to Greater New York Red Cross and a variety of local charities. We’re especially excited to see live sets from Afrojack, Danny Tenaglia, Sunnery James & Ryan Marciano, and Erick Morillo –just to name a few. Check out set times after the break.
In the aftermath of Hurricane Sandy, Pacha NYC and 50 DJs, including Afrojack, Erick Morillo, Sunnery James & Ryan Marciano, Danny Tenaglia and more have put together a once-in-a-lifetime night of music. This Wednesday, from 5pm to 5am, “Help Heal New York” will be donating 100% of the proceeds to the Greater New York Red Cross and other local charities. Pacha co-owner and international legend Erick Morillo had this to say;
“I have so much love for New York and New Jersey and it was devastating to see the effect the storm had on our local communities” Morillo says. “I jumped at the chance to get involved in such a good cause and would like to thank the international dance community for coming together to help get our area back on their feet.”
In addition to donating all profits, the staff of Pacha and all artists are offering their services free of charge. From coat check tips to DJ fees, everyone in the building will be there for the sole purpose of supporting the tri-state area, and getting it back on its feet again.

In 2005, Pete Tong invited Erick Morillo onto the airwaves of his famed Radio 1 show to close out the summer season in Ibiza on the Terrace at Space. It was the ten year celebration of dance music on the White Isle, and from the sound of Pete Tong’s enthralled voice and the powerful chants from the feverish crowd, you knew this party was more than an average Ibiza night out. Notable tracks like Red Carpet’s “Alright” — which incited a crowd-wide roar — and classics like Herd & Fitz’s “I Just Can’t Get Enough,” make this one of the more monumental Essential Mixes we’ve ever come across.
Following the release of “Love In Me,” we are presented with a remix of an older Subliminal club hit, “Stronger.” This week, Cazzette has given new and unexpected life to the track with their ‘Silky Remix.’ Waves of melodic synths and pungent chords build around the hook, and without Cazzette’s standard distortion-packed sound, this latest rendition of “Stronger” is refreshing and up-to-date. Ahead of their debut album Eject, find this remix on Cazzette’s Strictly compilation, available on Beatport today.

House legend Erick Morillo has returned with two mixes of “Murder The Dancefloor.” This time Morillo has brought on Sympho Nympho and reggae vocalist Konshens to add something different to his subliminal dynasty. The tribal mix offers Morillo’s standard style of unbeatable drum work and Konshens soulful vocals, which give off the kind of dance floor vibes you crave late night. Morillo’s acid mix is a nice change up and is probably the mix that will actually murder the dance floor during peak time hours. Morillo’s versatility showcased on both mixes of “Murder The Dancefloor” as well as his impecable DJing skills makes him one of the best in the industry.
