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

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.

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

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

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.
