- I Went to an EDM Festival on a Cruise Ship. Here's What It's Like.

The absolute dedication and wealth of memories is shared among each member. That’s why there are no acquaintances on the boat, only close friends you haven’t met yet. Just ask Ashley Graden, a long-time shipper who met with new Friendshipfam days after disembarking back in her native Seattle home. As is the case on most cruise ships, there were plenty of dining options, from a casual buffet to an expensive steakhouse.

Last year’s sold-out FRIENDSHIP cruise did not release any lineup until guests came aboard, but acts such as J. Phlip, Mz Worthy, and Mary Droppinz all ended up performing. On Monday, May 1 at 10AM PT, the general public will have their chance to secure any remaining tokens, with the cabin selection process beginning on Tuesday, May 2.

It was also home to the cool electro grooves of Felix da Housecat and Claptone, not to mention two titillating burlesque shows from the Queen of cream, Dita Von Teese. It was a reprisal for Teese, who helped christen the maiden voyage of Holy Ship in 2012. Holy Ship spawned a community as vibrant as its Caribbean home, and so-called “Shipfam” was divided by Richards’ idealogical divorce.

Australian Lucky Girl Nina Las Vegas had the distinct pleasure of giving the final set. Starry-eyed fans crowded into the theater for the big finale. A first-night turn around for medical services and a couple trashed rooms were relatively minimal pock marks on an otherwise glowing reception. Everywhere you turned, crew members smiled, danced and high-fived wild-eyed partiers.
Yeah, I was just telling my team here, I’ve got like 20 different sets to play in the next 10 days. I’m trying to figure it all out, trying to get in all these different kinds of music and make it all work. This year we have created two payment plan options to make shipping with us easier than ever for all of our Friends. Friendship will invite plenty of bass artists on board as well, with the likes of Mr. Carmack, A Hundred Drums, Mersiv and dubstep legend Rusko all slated to play on the cruise. As always, Friendship will spotlight incredible women in electronic music with performances from Dirtybird indie house artist Nala, critically acclaimed selector QRTR, the rapidly-rising Mary Droppinz and UK garage queen Flava D. Perhaps the coolest stage, though, was the one erected in the middle of the Equinox’s grand atrium.

All this glitz, glamour and controlled chaos was bolstered by two private island day parties. Fans splashed in aquamarine surf or drank cocktails in the sand as Âme, Dixon, Rufus and more played sunshine sets on idyllic Coco Cay. A group of loyal Shippers offered a chance to write love letters to Richards on pineapple-shaped notes. Everywhere he goes, Richards is showered in calls and handed little rave tokens. He proudly showed off a “World’s Best Dad” medal. The Friendship is new, but the concept is not.
It just felt good to hug everybody that walked on to the ship. There are two places to get on, so I couldn’t get everybody, but then Giorgio Moroder rolled through, and Felix Da Housecat and all these people come through. Last night it was a big festival here, but I wanted to play groovy house. The guys before me were hitting “Sandstorm” and some Red Hot Chili Peppers shit.
Monday, Dec. 30, is the last day to buy tickets for The FriendShip. It sets sail Jan. 6 to 10, from Miami to a private island in the Bahamas. Inside jokes mingled with a spirit of creative spontaneity fuels loyalty from fans and participating artists alike. It’s a tall ask to stick DJs and ticket buyers together on the same boat for days at a time, but even the most hesitant of performers become repeat offenders. Alongside Rufus’ opening night ambience, the Equinox Theater hosted a rowdy night of back-to-back bass sets from gnarly pairings, including a closing trio from Kill the Noize, Funtcase and Cookie Monsta.
Then, once Skrillex stepped behind the decks, the crowd erupted with energy. The roaming parties weren’t relegated to just rooms. They moved through elevators, between hallways and situated themselves in the Equinox’s grand library. That’s how the final night get down with Busy P, Boys Noize and 2ManyDJs started before moving to its final home outside the 12th floor elevators. Fans raved about the Dial-A-DJ cards for the rare intimacy it provided. If seeing RÜFÜS DU SOL in a 1,115-person theater was spellbinding, imagine cramming 20 people into a four-person room, jumping on beds to the beat of dream-weaving melodies.
People make connections while riding the elevator, walking down the hallways, joining somebody sitting alone during a meal and more. Equally endearing are the trinkets that Shipfam hand out to one another. This can be anything as simple as a sticker or as impressive as a three-dimensional printed item.
I knew how to book it and how to market it, but I didn’t really know how to produce this. Putting a new team together, getting a new travel team, checking the reservations, it’s a f—ing ordeal. Now, seeing the results, I feel much better because you can tell every aspect of it, I have my hands on. There were a lot of things I wasn’t allowed to be involved in, but this time I’m much closer to the ship side of things, and I’m sure you could feel it. They wouldn’t let me just go and put parties in people’s rooms. About 20 years later, Richards is now president of LiveStyle and head of his own event production company, All My Friends, and every event he produces keeps that sense of magic and wonder at heart.
