Prominent DJ, producer, radio host and label owner Danny Howard has remixed house music legend Erick Morillo’s 2007 hit with Audio Bullys, ‘Break Down The Doors’.
Danny’s remix takes the rhythm of the bouncing synth melody of the original and transforms it into a bumping house bassline. It’s paired with teasing echoing pitched down vocal samples from the original, before subsiding to reveal the instantly recognizable vocal line in the first breakdown. Danny’s version is a modern, grooving update that nonetheless preserves the elements that made the original such a classic. It’s perfectly suited for slotting into a set at some of the world-class clubs and festivals he frequents as a DJ.
This new remix represents the new globally focused ethos of Subliminal Records, following a prolific year of both mainstream and more underground, deeper releases for the label. As an international tastemaker and prominent advocate of dance music in the UK, Danny is a perfect choice of artist to help push Erick Morillo’s creative vision for Subliminal forwards.

About Erick Morillo
Erick Morillo is a truly multitalented artist. Since starting to DJ at the age of 11, he’s become a platinum-selling producer, held an incredible thirteen-year-long residency at Pacha Ibiza, hosted MTV TV series, and DJed at some of the most historic clubs in the world – the Hacienda, Cream at Nation, The Cross and Turnmills in the UK alone.
His label and event series Subliminal has now been running for almost twenty years. At the turn of the millennium, the Subliminal Club night was credited for having been a major factor in resuscitating New York’s nightlife scene – a feat he accomplished by signing up the likes of Danny Tenaglia, Darren Emerson, Derrick Carter, Mark Farina and Tony Humphries in guest spots.
The record label arm of Subliminal began life under Strictly Rhythm, quickly becoming a by-word for the best in pure house music. Erick Morillo was at the forefront of New York’s burgeoning music scene alongside label mates Harry ‘Choo Choo’ Romero and Jose Nuñez.
Eleven years after winning ‘Best American DJ’ at the IDMAs, Erick Morillo is now focusing on the relaunch of Subliminal Records under its new partner Armada Music. He’s released a bevy of new material, collaborating with the very talented vocalist Angel Taylor on ‘Oooh’, producers Eli & Fur on ‘Thunder & Lightning’ and ‘This Is How We Do It’ with the rising Subliminal signee Junolarc. Erick’s latest single with Eddie Thoneick & Angel Taylor, ‘Lost In You’, has already amassed almost a million plays on Spotify since its release in September.
