Friendship presents Uncharted NYC w. Gary Richards (Destructo)

Get ready for an unforgettable night with Friendship Party: Uncharted NYC, sailing the Hudson River on October 5th. This isn't just any party—it's Destructo's famous Friendship party, taking over the Circle Line Sightseeing Cruise for an evening that will blend breathtaking views with world-class music. As the sun sets and the city lights begin to twinkle, we'll be cruising from sunset into the night, setting the perfect atmosphere for a pre-party before the big Friendship cruise to Belize.

Destructo, the mastermind behind this event, is a trailblazer in the dance music scene with nearly three decades of experience. He began his career DJing and producing underground events in Los Angeles in the early 90s, making a big impact with his creation of RaveAmerica at Knott's Berry Farm. His talent caught the eye of Rick Rubin, who brought him on as A&R in music at Def American Recordings, launching a successful career that included working with acts like Lords of Acid and Basement Jaxx. After founding 1500 Records and Nitrus Records, and a stint in the metal music scene with No Name Management, Destructo returned to his roots by founding HARD events in 2007. These events, such as HARD Haunted Mansion, have become iconic for showcasing cutting-edge dance music, reflecting the same energy and innovation Destructo brings to his DJ sets.

Joining Gary Richards is J.Phlip, aka Jessica Phillippe, who has been an exciting name in the music scene for quite some time now. A key member of the Dirtybird crew, she's built a reputation for blending underground sounds with her signature bouncy style. J.Phlip’s tracks have earned support from top DJs like Skream and Eats Everything. Her potent performances have taken her across the U.S. and Europe, solidifying her as a major force in the industry with residencies in Detroit, Miami, and San Francisco.

NYC’s tech house ambassador, Charles Meyer, has a knack for delivering exactly what partygoers crave—and what they didn’t know they needed. His DJ sets and original productions are designed not just to make you dance, but to elevate your experience and offer a transformative journey. His debut EP reached #16 on Beatport's House Releases, and his follow-up single was featured as a When We Dip exclusive. After playing Destructo's Friendship Cruise last year, he's now making his return for another mind-blowing set.

Another name to look forward to at this party is Gina Turner. Originally from New York, Turner started as a radio DJ before moving to Los Angeles and making a name for herself globally. Known for her high-energy sets, impressive production skills, and popular podcast shows, she’s made a significant impact on the industry. Gina Turner is returning to her roots with this show in NYC, the city where her journey in the music industry began.

This party on October 5th aboard the Circle Line is going to be one for the books, and you won't want to miss it! Tickets are selling fast, so be sure to grab yours now for an epic evening of music, dancing, and stunning views of NYC before they’re gone!
