The summer has gotten off to a dramatic start in Boston with its intermittent
weekend weather and high profile DJ frequenting the area. There have been lots
of highs and lows but, no one foresaw what was going to take place on Saturday June 8th at Quincy’s Ocean Club. Erick Morillo was booked for the evening
and the fan favorite DJ was anxiously awaited for by the masses. People on
twitter had even tweeted that they had driven two hours to see him perform in
Massachusetts. Nevertheless, what the crowd received that evening was far from
what was promoted or expected.
Things got off to a bad start. Erick took to the decks at Ocean Club in
a physically disoriented state that had everyone immediately talking. Nevertheless, all talk was brushed aside to
hear the sweet Latin house vibes. However, approximately 45 minutes into the
set things went south, rapidly. Morillo abruptly staggered away from the decks
disoriented seeking help. The music was stuck
in a loop, and morillo was no where in
site. The crowd was left hanging only to be rescued by reliable hometown
favorite Bamboora to carry on the night.
What the crowd couldn't see was Erick Morillo, being heavily
assisted/carried off the stage by security to his livery. Morillo manager followed hotly in pursuit behind
the artist.
With average ticket prices/cover charges at Ocean Club ranging from $25-40,
fans were rightfully disappointed to see Erick Morillo Boston Gig fail to produce
a full set.
While there is no confirmation, there is strong speculation that Erick’s
departure from the stage was due to the heavy influence of drugs.
His erratic behavior was not only isolated to OC Sunday saturday edition. Just 3 nights prior to his Boston
area gig, Erick Morillo was scheduled to spin at Emporium Long Island. However,
the artist failed to show up for the gig.
At this time we have no word on Erick’s official condition but we wish
him the best.
