The FriendShip 2020 event at sea completed its second run this past January with much success. This world-class music cruise experience was curated and produced by Gary Richards (aka producer & DJ DESTRUCTO, AMFAMFAMF event; founder and President of LiveStyle North America), featuring over 50 artists including DJs and producers, hitmakers and vocalists in electronic music, along with comedians, magicians and burlesque performers. 3000+ cruisers were entertained aboard Royal Caribbean’s Navigator of the Seas for a memorable, immersive roundtrip voyage from Miami to the Bahamas.

Highlights included the main deck sail away set from TroyBoi, sets from GRAMMY-nominee Boys Noize as well as his ELAX alter-ego, the mobile heavy hitter b2b that came out of Mija’s set with Nina Las Vegas x Madame X x Flava D x Star Eyes x Uniiqu3, hip-hop sets with legendary hitmaker Dallas Austin and Wax Motif during the Rump Shaker party and DESTRUCTO’s dawn at sea party set The Sermon with GRiZ, Boys Noize, Bob Moses’ Jimmy Valance and Danny Daze, among others.

As the sun rose in the Caribbean on the morning of Thursday, January 9, over 3,000 cruisers aboard FriendShip gathered for a unique musical experience -- DESTRUCTO’s dawn at sea party set ‘The Sermon.’ (Listen on Soundcloud here) Joining the DJ & producer during the set which clocked in at just under 4 hours and 20 minutes was GRiZ for a live sax performance to Christopher Cross yacht rock classic “Ride Like the Wind” and b2b moments with Boys Noize, Bob Moses’ Jimmy Valance and Danny Daze, among others.
