Two years after the previous record was set, Nigerian DJ Obi broke the Guinness World Record for the longest DJ set. Obi's set began on June 22 at Sao Café Lagos and ended on July 2, for a total of 230 hours or 10 days. According to reports from Deep House Amsterdam, Obi was allowed vitamins, medical checks, and a two-hour break to rest everyday.
"I woke up hallucinating after four or five days and had lost full control of my body," he said. "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." Polish DJ Norberto Loco previously held the record. According to the BBC, Guinness World Records will make a definitive verdict in the upcoming weeks of DJ Obi's set.Watch BBC video of DJ Obi's world record attempt.
