On Wednesday, June 22nd, at 11:30pm. DJ Obi kicked off his attempt to break the Guinness World Record for Longest Marathon Club DJing. For the next 9 days, Obi will be spinning at Sao Café located in Lekki Phase 1.
We’ve had a great kick-off here at Sao Cafe, the crowd began to gather early Wednesday evening and as the night went on it only got larger. After DJ Obi’s team put the finishing details on the technical aspects, a short video from the Guinness World Record’s team and a short prayer (we all know everything we Nigerians do must be put in prayer!) Obi kicked off minute-one of his 240hours at 11:30pm. Opening to a packed house, he mixed mostly House music from different countries, which was more than enough to keep the crowd moving. Don Jazzy, Lynxxx, Dr Sid and Omawunmi were among the friends, family, fans and supporters who came out to encourage the DJ on his first day of ten.
The current Guinness World Record for Longest Marathon Club DJing, set in Dublin, Ireland in 2014 stands at 200 hours. Obi is aiming to smash that record and he is ready to go as far as hitting 240 hours.
