even 90 mins is short for me

Ive played 6 hours in clubs before

planning a possible attempt to break the world record for longest continuous dj mix soon.... (75 hours) watch this space

Hmmmm... three days for mixing.. sounds like hard work.

To original poster.
Hardly worth thinking about so much butif you are thinking of a demo I usually find that about 40 or 50 mins is fine. Any more and people aren't really gonna be bothered to listen and the other think is make sure that you split the track so that they can hear your transitions and track changes. No one is in all honesty going to listen to your mix in any greater depth anyways.

For your own enjoyment do what you feel is best but remember it is good to try and work a 2 hour set as it takes a bit more than you think and most bedroom DJs never really work for that long.

Cheers
Nem

promo mixes, try to keep it at 60 mins max. imagine a radioshow wanted to play it, if it was 74 mins, they'd have to cut a bit out.

otherwise, do it as long as you like.

do try to make long mixes for your own enjoyment though, a 6 hour set is something that definitely polishes your skills.

I aim to fill a CD, however in general I feel that 60mins will usually do the trick nicely.

I say 60 minutes to 90 minutes for me. After that I sorta just kill it =\. Maybe I can go longer some day in the future.

+1 with Lane.
