World Record for longest DJ set broken - again
DJ Gee Papa from Cyprus has made it into the Guinness Book of Records for the longest DJ marathon of 116 hours.
The current record stood at 88 hours which George Papapetrou, a.k.a DJ Gee Papa, claims to have broken before when he played non-stop for 105 hours at Limassol's Nautical Club last year. However there was no representative from Guinness present to register it so he had to do it again.
The 34 year old was allowed a five minute break every hour and if he did not take the break then he could accumulate the minutes for later, which he did at one point so he could sleep for two hours.
The proceeds from the event will go toward helping the victims of last year's fire disaster in Greece.

Breaking the current record
Dj Alan D is going to attempt to make a new record for longest DJ set, where he will be going for approximately 125 hours. Alan is the resident DJ in Zico Bar Wishaw Lanarkshire, where he will attempt his to do his own record. The record officailly starts on Sunday 7th June 2009 at 9pm, although the club will be open from 4pm allowing time for people to come in and show their support.
