"TEN YEARS FLOATING DOWN THE HUDSON. For the tens of thousands of people that have journeyed to piers, boats and clubs during that time—not to mention the global audience they have acquired—a real transformation occurs. Whatever you bring inside is, during the course of hours of an organic, electronic hypnosis, turned into something shared by everyone around you. This is why the party has lasted, will last much longer: it is a community free of judgments and restrictions. With so many influences behind Turntables on the Hudson, it’s easy to see why everyone feels at home. In a place where any music that moves you is not only welcomed but encouraged, there’s room for everyone. That’s part of the magic—that’s the heart of the magic. It is political in that no one is excluded; it is social in that lasting bonds are constantly formed." -text by Derek Beres (from the 10 Year Anniversary booklet)
