Stay Safe With the BUDDY System!
With the rise of electronic music culture in recent years has come a growing number of young people attending large-scale music events and festivals. As such, organizers like us here at Disco Donnie Presents are working diligently to expand harm-reduction policies and safety protocols, however, we as a community need to work together to protect our scene. It takes a team effort, and fellow dancers are the key to making that happen.
How the BUDDY System Works
The BUDDY system empowers the crowd, allowing fellow clubbers to look out for each other’s welfare with an elegant tech’ solution. Based in SMS, BUDDY provides a unique code to every attendee on the wristband provided at the event’s entry.
In case of emergency, a member of the crowd can notify on-site medical teams of the location by texting the six digit code. When this text is sent, any pre-registered emergency contacts and on-site friends will also be notified including previously volunteered medical information. By utilizing this automated system, we can dramatically cut down the response time, treating people sooner and more effectively.
The idea behind BUDDY is to give fans the power and means to effectively do something for anyone who might be having a health crisis. With efficient technologies like this coming out on the market, we should be able to reduce emergency response times and make a real difference by putting tragic festival stories in the past.

Tracing back to its root meaning, the Barong Family album documentary opens in Bali, Indonesia before the whole squad holes up to collaborate via a sequestered cabin in the north of France. According to the film, all you could hear were birds chirping and the sounds of an 808 kick drum. Over the course of seven days, Yellow Claw brought everyone together to make as much music as possible.
“It’s basically a week at school,” said Nils describing the creative environment, where everyone was able to get a glimpse into each other’s work process, picking up some tips and tricks along the way. Ever the risk-takers, the short-form documentary celebrates the fact that sometimes to achieve what you’ve always dreamed, you must first make the ultimate sacrifice and risk it all.
