yeah or Dubai... Now that would have sucked.

March is the trial date.
I wonder if it will effect his time at WMC???

Is that where all the energy comes from? I've seen him chug down bottles of vodka and smoke weed. His stupidity for trying to take coke across international "lines"

isnt this the dumbass who posted a blog about how he was paid in Lines at a club in chicago instead of cash? the irony.

hell yeah! I LOVE cocaine!!!

To all my fans in Chicago,
"I am truly sorry for what has occurred the last time I was in town. I am more shocked than anything. I arrive at the airport, only to find out I have a cab ready, and how I find this out? There is a guy at the terminal with a La Quinta sing with my last name on it" I have no clue what's going on, so I contact my manager, he's not picking up. I get in the cab, and the guy takes me to LA QUINTA it felt like we drove for hours. Come to find out he drops me off in a hotel 45 minutes away from the city. I did not know what to say, but I knew how much many of you were waiting for me to come out. The night of the party I get picked up by a few guys, who apologize to me for what has happened. I really did not care at that point, and just wanted to go on with the show. I arrive at the club late night, only to find out I have to spot the driver 15$ for parking. WHAT??????
I finally get inside only to be escorted by 2 guys into a back room, where I guess a promoter is waiting for me. Why is it every guy in Chicago acts like they are from California, but talks like they are from Compton. After I witness this mass colague of printed hats tiled to the right I end up in the DJ booth. Not only does my monitor has no sound, in my head phones I can hear the VIP room and someone screaming over the mic "yeah yeah chi town, gotta luv that houze music" This is going on for a good hour, and for some reason I assumed it was my cologne, but there is 16 guys standing next to me, some with tennis wrist bands, some with a headphones, licking their golden tips. I though they were up next and it was time for me to go, but somebodywhispered that they are only posing for myspace pics, and actually non of them spin. And what's up with he peace signs I am not even taking pictures, I know it's insecurities, but I am not trying to start a war, why the peace signs every time I turn around? It finally comes for me to end the show, just to get what I am owed and move on. The promoters take me to the back, and try to pay me in lines of blow...Seriously!!!!! 3 lines of blow on a dj case, and they point to the little one. I keep telling them, that this cannot go on, that this is not right..and all of a sudden a spikey haired guy runs out with oxygen tanks, and blasts a few sprays in my face and screams out "THIS IS CHICAGO, THIS HOW WE DO!!!!"

Never again,
Erick Morillo

what club was this???

whoah, Number one reason i hate chicago is because of my ex. She is from chicago. CRAZY! Not in the good way. I guess that's another reason.

What a fucking idiot... wowww cant he just have one of his staff carry it??????

morillo is as high maint as they come. I met his personal assistant when I was in Ibiza this summer. Hung out with him for the day in formentara. He said Morillo is usually miserable and moody, and he quite honestly thought he was an asshole. Perhaps he just does to much blow. That chicago story doesnt make much sense, like hed show up in chicago without payment already rec'd? what is expecting to put 10k plus in his pocket and rock the show?

morillo gets a lot more than $10,000 to play.

I DO COCAINE!!!!

my point exactly. Im sure he can get around 30-40k to play, not to mention the ho's and bently you need to accomadate that pre madonna. That is why i said the chicago story makes no sense, no way that guy shows up to a gig that he hasnt rec'd payment for. Unless it was some small unpaid balance of 10k or less (thats all you can legally hold in your possession w/o a permit)

ask mikey, he's the one who posted that earlier this year. i think it came from a morrillo myspace blog.

What a surpirse, lol. We meet him in Ibiza four years ago and he seemed nice. We wish him well!

Its also not confirmed that he posted it on his myspace. Yes he was angry and yes he stormed out, but the legitimacy of the quote never got proved.

Exclusive: Top DJ Erick Morillo misses Scots gig after drugs smuggling arrest Dec 23 2008 By John Ferguson A WORLD famous DJ missed a Scots gig after he was arrested on cocaine smuggling allegations. Colombian-American Erick Morillo, 37, was held by customs officers at Glasgow Airport as he got off a flight from Amsterdam on Saturday. The house music legend - who is releasing a track in the New Year called I Get Lifted - was jetting in to headline the �23-a-ticket Colours night at The Arches. Thousands of disappointed fans were told his plane had been cancelled and offered their money back after he failed to show up for the gig. But Morillo had really spent the evening in a police station. At Paisley Sheriff Court yesterday, he pled not guilty to smuggling drugs. He was released on bail on condition he flies back to Scotland for a trial date in March. Morillo has topped the charts worldwide as the producer behind Reel 2 Real. His hits include I Like To Move It and Raise Your Hands. When he isn't partying at home in Miami with close pals Puff Daddy, Naomi Campbell and Boy George, Morillo travels the world DJing in top night clubs. In a recent interview, he said: "I'm a workaholic. Sometimes I'll be in the studio 24/7. "When it comes to enjoying myself, I can keep up with the best of them." A spokesman for HM Revenue and Customs said last night: "We can confirm that a man was detained at Glasgow Airport after arriving on a flight from Moscow via Amsterdam. He was found to have what appeared to be drugs in his possession." A police spokeswoman added: "A 37-year-old man was detained on Saturday in relation to drugs offences." More than 2500 clubbers turned up at The Arches on Saturday to be told of the cancellation. They were offered a full refund if they didn't want to see the other DJs on the night. Colours DJ and website boss Giovanni Ferri initially blamed Morillo's airline for the fiasco. He wrote: "His flight got cancelled unfortunately. "We're just as gutted, we didn't find out until about nine o'clock." Later, a statement from the promoters said: "If you chose to take a full refund and did not come in on Saturday, please take your ticket back to point of purchase to receive a full refund. "If you bought it online, please contact the online company you bought the tickets from to get an address to return the ticket to. "Saturday was still a good night all things considered, and we would like to thank everyone who came in for their support after what was a huge disappointment for both you guys and the Colours team too." Earlier this year, The Arches was threatened with closure after police busted a gay orgy. Up to 30 men in "various states of undress" were having sex in a cordoned-off area. Some mistook the police for strippers and carried on.

LOL @ the end of the report.

This vid is from that night. Can someone translate? Something about next time I return...



Hope this doesn't effect his Memorial Weekend Sunday night @ Tao Las Vegas.
