RIP Erick Morillo
Erick Morillo at Back In Black on October 29, 2011
Miami, FL – September 1, 2020 – Legendary DJ Erick Morillo has sadly passed away at the age of 49. With a career spanning over 25 years, Morillo was one of the most influential people in the music business, popularizing house music around the world and bringing it to Miami. He is best known for his 1994 dance hit “I Like To Move It,” released under the pseudonym Reel 2 Real.
From Crobar to Ultra to LIV, we’ve followed his journey over the years and captured him at some of his best moments, performing for thousands, celebrating with other DJ’s, and doing what he loved. His music transcended decades and will continue to live on forever. WRE has gathered our favorite moments of Morillo over the past 20 years to honor his memory.
