Finishing his relationship with Strictly Rhythm, Morillo took a low profile in the following years, returning in the late 90s with his own label, Subliminal Records, founded with partners Jose Nunez and Harry Choo Choo Romero, fellow DJs and producers. Together, they also as the remix team The Dronez. With the Subliminal label, Morillo managed to find the balance between "underground" respectability and financial success.
