LONGEST DJ SET ATTEMPT 100 HOURS - FED SQUARE MELBOURNE FEB 21st - 26th 2006
In February 2006, DJ Promo who has played at famous UK superclubs including Ministry of Sound and Fabric,plus a host of venues around the world will attempt to set a new Guinness World Record for the longest DJ set in history.
The existing record of 84 hours was set in February 2005 by a British DJ, Genix. DJ Promo, also from the UK, intends to smash this by a full 16 hours taking the record to a new total of 100 hours live, continuous mixing.
In order to successfully claim the title and set a new, official record, 35-year-old DJ Promo must adhere to the following Guinness World Record (GWR) rules and regulations:
Vinyl discs or CDs must be played throughout the attempt
There must be no pauses longer than ten seconds between tunes
No premixing (ie: pre-recorded sections on CD, or mastermixes on vinyl) is allowed
No more than two turntables may be used (a third turntable, kept in reserve, may be used in the event of mechanical failure of either of the other two turntables)
No individual disc, and no piece of music, may be repeated within four hours
A list of all the tunes played must be maintained
The event must take place on stage in a club or similar venue, open to members of the public, and not in a recording studio
A dancing audience, even if it is a single individual, must be present throughout, but no audience member may attend for more than four hours at a time
A break of 15 minutes must be taken every eight hours
To achieve his 100-hour target, DJ Promo will spend more than 4 days on his feet at the decks, without sleep,
playing in the region of 1500 records back-to-back. The set will incorporate all genres of house music, from
jazzy vocal to tribal progressive, and a selection of his own tracks. The attempt will take place in a transparent
nightclub built especially for the occasion in Federation Square, Melbourne.
The event is being staged in a bid to raise funds for two Australian charities:
The Big Issue, which enables homeless people to take steps towards getting off the street; and
Challenge, which supports children and their families living with cancer and life-threatening blood disorders.
Genix, after setting the current record, described the days he spent at the decks as some of the most difficult in his life.
"I found this a lot tougher than I could possibly have imagined, he said. After the first two days, I thought I would do it with no problems at all. Then the third day became a lot tougher, with the lack of sleep really starting to kick in. When Saturday came around, I didnt know where I was. I didnt even know how to use all my equipment! If someone ever tries to break my new record, I will happily congratulate them. Its such a tough thing to do I would personally never attempt anything like this again.

I would like to see how this turns out. Any experts from the medical field wanna comment on this as to lack of sleep, exhuastion, etc etc. |
