5.0 out of 5 stars A 5 Star 2CD set from Erick!, July 26, 2001

This is my second review for Erick Morillo and I'm proud to say he doesn't disappoint. With the exception of Roger Sanchez, Erick is the only other DJ that's received a 5 star rating for a double cd set. Erick displays a nice variety of house music styles in these two sets. All the things I like in house music are found here, thumping beats, deep bass, quality mixing and a great music selection. In all, you get over 145 minutes of jamming house music fun.

CD 1 is the party stater cd with funky house, disco/vocal anthems and underground sounds. Coming in at over 73 minutes you get just the right amount of hits to get folks on the dancefloor. Cuts of choice are "Bringin' The Funk", "Night @ The Black", "Watcha Perrita" and "Release." The only cut on the first set I didn't care for was "Bel Amour." On it's own this would rate a 5 star set but because I'm rating it with another set that's just a little better this set receives 4.75 stars.

CD 2 is the late night party set. When folks are already on the dancefloor and need good music to keep them there, this set get's the job done. The tone and feel of this 73+ minute set is underground (music you're not likely to hear on the radio). No vocal house here, just bangin' beats and tribal rhythms with some speed garage thrown in. I like my house music raw and this set is certainly raw, lacking the top 100 hits everyone has heard. Cuts of choice are "Moments", "Mr. Jingles", "Wack M.F." and "Harmonizer." This set has no weaknesses and every track is good. This set rates 5 stars.

Erick Morillo, let me say that again... Erick Morillo! This guy is two for two in 5 star cds (I gave him 5 stars on the "House Nation" cd with Louie Vega). If you can get your hands on his work, you're likely to get a shining example of house music.

5.0 out of 5 stars Funky Deep Tribe, June 18, 2001

By 

Matt (San Antonio, TX) - See all my reviews

This review is from: Subliminal Sessions 1 (Audio CD)

Morillo brings us another fantastic two disc set that brings you into the clubs that he recorded the discs in. I thought he had a great mix of deep, tribal and funky house, bringing it all together in a set that is second to none. MIXER gave this a 10 and it is well deserved because Morillo is the man. Hailing from Harry 'Choo Choo' Romero's label he brings together three stand out tracks by him, my favorite being "Suck My Clock". I'd never heard of him before, but Kid Creme's "Austin's Groove" blew me away and the flawless mix into the soon to be anthem "Bel Amour" was great. Then Morillo starts to bring us back into the deep tribal with X Press 2's "Muzik X Press" and culmintaing with "My Release" and "Suck My Clock". CD2 starts off with Sono's "Keep Control" whom i have had in my box for a couple weeks now, i just can't get enough of the vocals, the guy's voice is rockin. Then in the middle of disc 2 using classics like "Sputnik" and "Wackass M.F." and blending it in with Jaimy & Kenny D's great track is fantastic. My favorite track off the whole album (although they are all fresh and great) is Those 2's "Rock you, Rock you". This is a great outing by a master and i suggest anyone into house in general should pick this album, it is an essential house album.

4.0 out of 5 stars Morillo is still da man, June 5, 2001

I totally disagree with Lucie, if anyone's been to see Erick Morillo recently then they'll know what his sets are all about, he doesn't just play 'hands in the air' vocal house he mixes in darker more tribal sounds. He builds it up and then brings it back down...this cd is a true reflection of one of Morillo's sets, the mixing is impeccable and the tune selection is quality but then thats what i've come to expect from Morillo.
