No, I’m not talking about an unlicensed amount of cool and a criminally large entourage of Pacha girlies. The Subliminal Records head honcho landed himself in much hotter water on the weekend when getting off a flight from Amsterdam to Glasgow. Detained by customs, Erick Morillo was charged with attempting to smuggle drugs into the UK and released on bail with a trial date set for March next year. Spare a thought for the guy who had to announce that Morillo was a no show for a his gig that evening at The Arches. Fancy telling 2,500 Scots that the headliner isn’t coming? No thanks.
Whatever the real story is here, UK tabloids have been quick to jump all over it, heavy-handedly referring to Erick Morillo as Columbian-American and even highlighting the fact that I Like to Move It ( as Reel to Reel) was used inthe children’s movie Madagascar 2! Pretty impressive, but the spurious link of the day has to go hands down to the Daily Record for the following ripper:
“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.”
Now that’s what ITM calls journalism. Our mate Erick’s just glad he wasn’t flying into Dubai…
