ERICK MORILLO's Subliminal session in The Lab LA
Ah, LA. Where the spiritual awakenings are sponsored by kombucha brands and the crowd looks like extras from a distressed denim commercial. The techno tourists here spend more time curating their Instagram stories than actually listening to the hi-hats. Absolute scenes of people nodding out of time while maintaining perfect posture.
It's a sweaty, sun-drenched room packed with industry heads and ravers trying to out-cool each other under the glare of the camera lights. This ERICK MORILLO live set is a masterclass in classic house dynamics, riding a juicy 125 BPM average. He bounces between 12A and 5A keys with the swagger of a proper veteran. The energy split is brilliantly balanced between low and mid, ensuring the groove never lets up.
The ERICK MORILLO The Lab LA tracklist is absolute fire for the crate diggers. Dropping Radio Slave's "Another Club" alongside Harry Romero's "Retroversy" is just showing off, honestly. From the mystery opening track, the tension builds impeccably. The absolute standout moment is when Âme's timeless "Rej" tears the roof off, before bringing the sweaty journey to a halt with the house closing track, Sebastian Evers & Bobby Malmlin's "Size".
