Mike: Whatever happened to the Mad Stuntman (Reel II Real Rapper)?
Erick Morillo: He's doing Hip-Hop and R&B in Brooklyn.

Bubble: Has Dave Beer caused you any problems?
Erick Morillo: No - but he showed me some of the best nights in London and Ibiza I've ever had!

Erick Morillo: Not at all! But I don't really pull any more - I've settled down these days.

Kate Henderson: You've had a hard night/morning at work, what music do you listen to when you get 'home', to help you chill out?
Erick Morillo: Jill Scott, a lot of Hip Hop and R'n'B - that's what my girlfriend listens to too! I'm trying to learn how to chill out - I don't get much time.

Eduardo Tobal: Have you got Colombian heritage and, if so, are you planning on coming to Bogota, Colombia? I'm from Bogota and you have a lot of fans down here!
Erick Morillo: I am Colombian and I love it, but as of late it's gotten really dangerous down there and I'm gonna wait and see how it goes. I'm gonna hold off for a while 'til they resolve the situation.

Michael O'Sullivan: How difficult was setting up your own label? Did you need large amounts of money to get started?
Erick Morillo: It was very difficult. You don't need a lot of money, but it does help! I spared no cost. Obviously, having money did help.

BK: What would be a dream line up for you as a promoter?
Erick Morillo: Derek Carter, Carl Cox, Darren Emerson, Josh Wink, Louis Vega - if he does a 1991 set! And Larry Levan...it would have to be like a 2 week party to squeeze them all in!

Ally: Who is your best friend in the music industry?
Erick Morillo: My girlfriend! It's corny I know! She works for a record company so I gotta share everything with her. It's good to have someone to talk to, and them be unbiased.

Star: What is your biggest extravagance?
Erick Morillo: I just bought the building where my recording studio is - that's pretty extravagant!

Erick Morillo: Absolutely! He's a great artist and friend.

Kerry Mickiewicz: What are your views on drugs within the club scene?
Erick Morillo: I think it's part of the scene. Some of the thing that happen because of it aren't wonderful. But it's a necessary evil - like corruption in politics.

Nicolas: Where do you shop in London for records?
Erick Morillo: Uptown Records, Black Market and Plastic Fantastic.

Degsy Cole: How are the new labels Sondos and Subliminal Soul going?

Leila: What does it feel like to have such big crowds loving what you do? Ego boost or what!
Erick Morillo: Not so much an ego boost but a lot of energy. It's very euphoric. Sometimes when you're with the right crowd it's better than an orgasm!
