Nigeria’s DJ Obi recently broke the world record for playing the longest DJ set ever played, clocking in a set at a mind boggling 229 hours! Yes, you are reading that right.
The marathon set, that began on June 22nd and ended on 2nd July, broke the previous record set by Polish DJ Norbert Selmaj, who played for 200 hours at Dublin’s Underground Temple Bar back in 2014. DJ Obi was monitored regularly by a medical team and allowed 2 hours of sleep on a daily basis, but turns out that wasn’t enough.
I woke up hallucinating after 4 or 5 days and had lost full control of my body…I used the loss of my father as an inspiration, constantly thinking to myself that my Dad was watching me and would be disappointed if I failed.
Obi was given vitamins regularly, while his set wasn’t allowed to have a song played twice in 4 hours. Check out the video below!
