RIP Erick.

I still remember being there when you recorded this song at your mother's home using her coat closet as the vocal booth. Who knew the song would take you  around the world!

WHY WE DJ - SLAVES TO THE RHYTHM

In a revealing new documentary investigating the reality of what being a professional DJ is really like, from the hype and parties to relentless touring and the toll that can take on both physical and mental health.   Following the success of last year's ‘The Underground Sound of Paris’, ‘Why We DJ – Slaves To The Rhythm’ delves deep into the psyche of the DJ, exploring the motivations that drive people to pursue a career behind the decks in the first place and the effects it can have. In refreshingly candid interviews from artist managers, tour managers, Psychologists, music industry professionals and DJs including Carl Cox, Luciano, Seth Troxler, Erick Morillo, B.Traits, Ben Pearce and Pete Tong MBE we hear stories of the lofty highs and plunging lows DJs can experience on a daily basis. ‘Why We DJ – Slaves To The Rhythm’ provides an honest look at the lives of professional DJs from the point of view of the people subjected to a heavy schedule of travel, sleep deprivation and creative pressure, whilst constantly under the social media spotlight. For the first time, the film examines how DJs can suffer from conditions such as imposter syndrome, opening up the discussion about the sometimes-dark places artists can easily find themselves in when they’re off stage.

Throwback: Hardrive Feat. Barbara Tucker: Deep Inside

Hardrive's "Deep Inside" featuring Barbara Tucker is one of house music's most euphoric cases of rhythmic recycling. Louie Vega's moniker for his releases on the Strictly Rhythm label sometimes included his Masters At Work partner Kenny Dope. Vega sampled Tucker's vocals from the "Beautiful People" demo he previously made with her and Dope. The sample of "Deep deep deep inside deep deep down inside" was enthralling and made her voice sound like a tool of psychological warfare. Tucker's vocals, the hi-hat, bassline, ambient piano, and Erick Morillo's mixing resulted in one of house music's seminal songs from the '90s. "Deep Inside" was released as part of the Deep Inside EP. "Deep Inside" was remastered in 2007, and remixes arrived in 1995, 2009, and 2015. Bob Sinclair, DJ Rashad, and Kanye West have all sampled "Deep Inside." Masters At Work finished a 2026 collaboration with Rahsaan Patterson and Brian Jackson on a cover of "Lady Day & John Coltrane." Young Pulse produced Barbara Tucker's 'In The Name Of Love," released in 2026.
