Anyone here tried doing a long set at home?

Im thinking about making between a 4 and 6
hour set at home.
The plus side is i can be more creative in what i play.
Mainly trance with a couple of classic trance tracks
thrown in, a little bit of Prog, Techno, Hard Trance and
Housey stuff.

Thing is i dont know how long i will keep my
concentration for, and i dont want to get bored while
doing it seeing as i will be on my own with nobody
dancing

So has anybody tried something like this and
pulled it off?
And did you work out a tracklisting before you started?



Thanks
Mark

The longest set I did at home was 8 hours. It's more creative like you said. You can play all the records you want from prog to trance to techno and with with build-ups in the set. Nowadays I don't do sets longer then 4, 5 hours. It's hard to keep your concentration when there's no audience only a wall to look at

I never work out a tracklist before I do a set, only sometimes when I'll mix demo-cd's, but most of the times I change it. I like improvising in my set, so no tracklist in advance for me.

i have done several 6 hour sets. lots of fun and you can play everything you got. best of luck.

Thanks for the advice,
Do You happen to have one of those tracklists so i can have a look at it, just to see what you did. Thanks

8 hours

Oh my, 8 hours. That's alot!
Usually I'm very tired after 4-5 hours. After 6 hours, I can't concentrate anymore at all.

an 8 hour tracklist... that must be about 130 songs

ewwww spinning for 8 hours at home? Thats soooooo boring.


I spinc twice weekley at one of the retail staores in downtown vancouver. I spin for a minimum of 4 hours, last thursday i did a 6 hour set.

I gotta try that sometime, I've never thought I'd be up to spinning for more than 2 hours, but it would def be worth a try... now to put aside enough time in the day to spin for several hours, that's the hard bit

Just when you thought this was over, it had only just begun...

When i first got my 1210's, my dad was away for the weekend so i threw a party which lasted 18 hours, in which the turntables didnt stop once !

There was only three of us using them, so i guess 6 hours each although i hogged them longer than that, hehe.

man, when i'm just f-in around by myself, i cant spin more than 1hr at a time. i guess i lose interest fast i guess.
