In these days of ten-a-penny superstar DJs, Erick Morillo is the real deal - a big name able to tease a crowd into a dancing frenzy.
Kinky joined forces with the Subliminal Sessions at the Honeyclub on Friday night to bring Morillo to the masses and, by the time he hit the decks around midnight, a packed crowd was waiting to see what all the fuss was about.
They weren't disappointed. Within one track the whole place moved as one and it became all too apparent why Morillo packs clubs from here to Ibiza and back again.
His style is groove-laden house with hints of tribal and sensuous disco.
He is also well known for using the mixer to expand the creative possibilities of tracks, shuttling from luscious vocals to drum-heavy instrumentals, filtering strands in and out of the mix to maintain the flow of his sets.
There were too many highlights to mention but when he mixed and remixed Donna Summer's disco classic I Feel Love into one of last year's big hits, Finally by Kings Of Tomorrow featuring Julie McKnight, it was near perfection.
As he switched back and forth between the tracks, it was like hearing them both for the first time all over again.
It is no surprise a number of clubbers spent the evening studying the secrets of his DJing techniques but I think they should have been dancing.
Radio 1's Chris Coco played a gentler alternative in the Blue Room but the night belonged to Morillo. Be there the next time he plays.
