We started off the night exploring the massive boat, the Hornblower Infinity, which apparently can hold 700 - 1,000 people. As per usual, Verboten kept it at a reasonable capacity where there was plenty of room to dance and mingle with everyone. After exploring the boat's ins and outs while dancing to the music all around us, we ended up on the top deck with Infinity Ink who absolutely crushed it. We first recognized some Dirtybird tracks such as Justin Martin's Ruff Stuff:
Hit the jump to read the rest of our review below.
Either immediately following Ruff Stuff or at least very close in proximity, we heard another gem dropped, but this time from Julio Bashmore, Au Seve:
Following Infinity Ink, we all moved down to Hot Natured to hear the masterful mix and groove of Jamie Jones and Lee Foss on the main dance floor. It was a little bit more crowded down on the main floor and for good reason as this was what the majority of people had come to see. As we settled into the groove after Infinity Ink, we were greeted with an amazing remix of Empire of the Sun's We Are The People. We were having trouble ID'ing the exact version of it, so any help on that would be much appreciated as it was a darker remix that was very legit from what we recall. In addition, they went the deeper, darker route at one point dropping some Maceo Plex which if we remember was "Can't Leave You".
As the night went on and memories started to get a bit hazier as usual, I decided to pay a visit to the upstairs deck once again to see Robert James close out that deck (and honestly also to get a beer, not sure how they ran out downstairs). Upon my arrival, I came across one of my favorite songs at the moment by Los Suruba, Intimantis. Basically, any song with a Louisahhh vocal has become something that I have to try out at least a few times as her vocals are infectious. I took a bit of a video but I must remind you that I love the song so I was vibing a bit and didn't have the best camera work in mind. The audio is good and that's all that matters anyway right?
All in all, everyone on the Hot Creations label came out to play and put on a quality show as usual with the help of Verboten. Definitely looking forward to some future Verboten shows no matter where they are to be held (check the right side, notable ones are scattered about). Hopefully, these summer boat cruise shows will be around for years to come. Below this are a couple more tracks that we heard dropped that we could properly ID, so enjoy those and we hope to see everyone back out at the next one (we'll probably be at Crazy P @ Highline Ballroom as long as EZoo doesn't wear us out).
Best singalong of the night thanks to Infinity Ink:
Amazing jam that we recently discovered and recognized early on in the night:

Pretty positive this Groove Armada was dropped earlier on as well:
