| Malaysian DJ Maverick Teh has been taken to hospital after claiming a new world record for spinning discs non-stop for 79 hours and five minutes. Teh was taken to a local hospital suffering from suspected dehydration. The DJ broke the official 74 hour record on Monday at The Rooftop in Kuala Lumpur. Playing a mix of techno, house and chill-out on vinyl and MP3 via D-Vinyl and sustained by coffee and honey, the rules set by Guinness World Records only allowed him a 15 minute break every eight hours and a gap of no more than 10 seconds between tracks. The event was Video tape and will be sent to the publication so that the new record can be verified. After passing the 74 hour mark at the decks, Maverick told how he was extremely tired, however he said that when he got home he would probably put some techno on his stereo before crashing out. The DJ collapsed one hour short of passing an unofficial 80 hour record set earlier by US DJ Buddy Love. Teh, whose interest in the art of turntablism came from early influences derived from hip hop, started his career in the mid-1980s. As a founder of the now defunct turntable scratch outfit, Funkadelics, Teh and two other DJs � Ken Wong and Sunanda Somensari aka DJ Face � represented Malaysia at the DMC World Championship 1996 in Italy. Teh has also done productions for PonyCanyon, BMG and Indie Works. |
