Umphrey’s / Gene Ween “Godboner” collaboration to the special series of daily shows honoring 50 years of The Dead, this Memorial Day Weekend is shaping up to be one of special sets, and for those paying close attention, yet another was unveiled this week!
Yup – hidden amongst all of the Soulshine MAKE A DIFFERENCE Schedule gems announced this week was news that Destructo will be doing a very special Sermon Sunrise Set! Taking place on Saturday at 6 AM in the Soulshine Tent, this is a NOT TO BE MISSED hour-and-a-half experience for fans who’re passionate about Destructo.
And for those who unfamiliar with his Sermon Sets, there’s a good reason why – this Memorial Day Weekend will be the FIRST he’s done at a festival that is not his own!
Destructo (Gary Richards) isn’t a new kid on the block – he has been DJing and producing since the early 90’s in LA, and actually created the RaveAmerica at Knotts Berry Farm in California. He is also the Founder and CEO of HARD Events, and his events have helped bring Deadmau5, Basement Jaxx, Justice and others in to the spotlight.
He is quoted as saying that the DESTRUCTO name derives from “My goal to play the hardest and most gnarly techno out there. I’d blow up the sound system and the mixer at clubs if I could. I wasn’t only into Kraftwerk and Daft Punk; I loved Metallica and Black Sabbath as well. So when I performed, it was aggressive and had to be banging.”
Sounds serious! Looks like you’re going to have to plan ahead, SCampers… to make it, you’ll need to keep your momentum going all the way to 7:30 AM!
