and am i the only one that stops to just take a PEE break LOL

6hrs and 45 mins for my gf's birthday party @ my place this summer..

i usually spin 2.5 ~ 3hrs for my monthly party here in NYC..

I spinned together with another dj(erix) a 6-7 hour set for about 600 ppl at a convention party here in Finland. 5 hours is pretty usual for me.

Am I the only person having a hard time deciphering what this says? Maybe it's just me, but it seems this post has some serious coherency issues. I am lost =)

played at a rave, two other djs were supposed to come and we were going to play 10 hours between the 3 of us. it ended up that neither of them showed up, and i played the entire thing. thank god i took a 4 hour nap that day. it was so damn long and i could barely see after the set, but my mixing was so damn good by the end. i was actually sitting down and mixing for parts because my legs were tired hahahah!! its ok though, the pay was great, i got the money the other two were going to get plus more

a tru dj NEVER "sits" and mixes... that aint cool.. if you cant stand and mix cuz youre legs are too tired, then stop djing..

who the hell cares....as long as the dj'ing goes fine, who cares if the dj stands or sits for 15 minutes?

an exception if you're very popular though. but then you usually do not play for more than 4 hours

I hear what your saying, everyone gets tired but if your being professional about you should tough it out. Unless your djing for some teen party then you can sleep in your bed and dj for all I care. If its a real party show people that your a professional not some bedroom dj.

you can sit after you pull off a mix while searching for the next track and what not, but mixing while sitting down is complete BOLLOX.

ive always wondered why i never see djs sitting down? Like i dont htink i could stand for 7 hours straight, even at work i need a break! but props to those who do tough it out! you got my respect.

nothing wrong with a DJ sitting if you
ask me, of course, if he's a good DJ,
he'll either be too concentrated to sit
or the music'sbeat & rhythm simply wont
allow you to,for the most part.

but a DJ needs a breather every now and then!

Managed 14 hours one NYE.

My longest gig thus far was my first gig ever, which lasted 5 hrs...and I only played hardtrance/hardhouse and techno...it was a lot of fun but my knees hurt like hell after that

hhaahaha its funny you say that

when i first got into doing the brooklyn rave evernts-
i was supposed to spinn with a few others
only one of them showed - lucky i always bring enough music for an all nighter

needless to say
i did a 6 hr set
i have it all recorded and
two 80 min clips of it on my site for download if anyone wants some
nice HARD TRANCE - UK style baby

haha, i thought this thread was asking DJ's about the length of somethin' else! *cough* damn my dirty mind...

Friday night - Monday afternoon, on and off, no sleeping..

Resident DJ at a club named Amnesia (not the one in Ibiza) in Illinois. Been there for 2years, and started at the bottom. The bottom being the light guy. I now have worked my way up and have my own thursday nights and friday nights.

the longest gig Ive played was about 6 hours for our homecoming day. We close at 2am the night b4 and re-open at 5am for kegs and eggs. (big college tradition here) Im am the only one working the lights and booth, but its fun... the people are already hammered from the nite before so they are dancing as soon as they come in.

Longest set was 3 hours, recorded it in my dorm room

When I have to take a piss, I do it quickly after finishing a transition and putting the next tune on the platter

Shhhh

8 hours at small house party

Im amazed at how many noob's have 10+ hour sets.

Its starting to make me feel like this is a "how big is your shiat", based on the lenght of your set thread.

10 plus hours easily equals 200+ records. How many crates do you take with you? Hell when Im doing a 3 hour set on my thursdays I take 2 crates so i have a variety and can make it sound good. Do you guys just slam any ol record on?

*puzzled i guess*

I think he means weathered professionals (ie quite a bit of experience), dj's that land gigs on a regular basis, or those who are new/unknown.

Yeah, that'd be about right; I know that the portion of Tiesto in Concert that was aired on the radio (and subsequently ripped and shared on the hub) was almost exactly four hours, and he played 81 songs.

I have a hard time believing anyone here plays 10 hour sets.
