Erick Morillo delivers an unmistakable tech-house vibe on his remix, delivering a track that seems destined for the terraces of Ibiza via Armada Subjekt label. The 1987 original by Joe Smooth was previously ranked ​#20 ​in a ​Mixmag list of ​‘​100 Greatest Dance Singles Of All Time’​.

“Promised Land was a staple in my arsenal when I was a young DJ,” ​Erick explains. “The message in the vocals is very positive and it always made me dance. You can say it’s why I make positive message songs with grooves you can get lost in. So happy to be able to give it a new take and make the dancefloor pump and enjoy the vocals in the breakdown. What a delight.

The remix marks Morillo’s first release since ‘Fifth Element’, a progressive track that signalled a change of creative direction for the Colombian-American. This was a natural follow-on from ‘Medication’​, last April’s grooving collaboration with ​Paradise label head ​Jamie Jones and Chicago favourite ​Gene Farris.

The platinum-selling artist completed a stacked European tour this year, playing a handpicked run of shows at the likes of ​Watergate​, Amnesia​, ​Resistance​, DC10, Brooklyn Mirage ​and ANTS ​​amongst others.

Erick Morillo continues his back-to-basics approach with his grooving remix of house classic ‘Promised Land’ by Joe Smooth​. You can listen to the full premiere of it exclusively on When We Dip. Enjoy!

Release date : November 22nd, 2019.
