Playgrounder: according to Dangerous Dan Man

2010 will be remembered as the year that YOLO brought the "no hit" party policy into play. This was proved inside the YOLO tent at Playground Weekender; three days solid of deep club music with not a hit in sight, or well at least that's what some folks reckon, in actual fact it was back to back hits (stormers we like to call them), they just aren't as obvious as some of the others.
Good times (not the Norman Jay kind), good people, good fights, good nights.
YOLO proved that cabin 30 was 'THE' place to be, and that there's nothing better than good mates; the kind that love good beats and even the kind that just love a good beat-up.

You could spot the people at the festival last weekend who were spending most of their time inside the You Only Live Once tent. If they hadn't stepped foot inside the tent, then they were most likely to have been attacked with a bundle of stickers by a group of people running past who HAD been spending most of their time in the You Only Live Once tent. These people, as easy to sight as the Teepee tribe with all of those stupid feathers on their head, were only one sticker away from morphing into a sticker themselves.

The You Only Live Once tent kicked off on the Friday, providing an all-weekend party zone that delivered tracks on the more blackish end of the dance music colour spectrum; meaning there was always a place to take things up a few notches if you felt like escaping from the relaxation being offered by the rest of the acts.

Responsible for this manic extravaganza, which by Saturday night had everyone thinking they had been dumped right into the middle of an Ibiza rave without even losing the hats and swords from their fancy dress outfits, was a collection of the finest You Only Live Once DJ's, with just a little help from the internationals. Black Angus, Dangerous Dan, and Jimmy 2 Sox performed an impressive display of DJ-ing stamina over the 72 hour period, with Pete Herbert (UK) and Alex Wolfenden (Cafe Mambo) stepping in to cover them during moments of fatigue.

So it has begun. The YOLO tribe and their DJ leaders will be sweeping across many more festivals in the near future, emerging from the tent that will assuredly be playing the dirtiest beats from the darkest corner. If you can't find the tent, just follow the people with those little black and white bad boys stuck to each and every one of their body parts.

YOU ONLY LIVE ONCE is appearing this weekend at the Playground Weekender Festival on the Hawkesbury River.

Find us in the Melody Wine Bar (transforming into the YOLO tent) on Saturday and Sunday.
