WERELDRECORD LANGSTE DJ MARATHON IN DE HARDERE STIJLEN – 7 DAGEN NON-STOP MET MEER DAN 150 NEDERLANDSE DJ’S IN CORONACRISIS

World record Longest DJ Marathon in the harder styles: 7 days non-stop with more than 150 artists

By Wouter de Vink 13 May 2020

After breaking two world records within all electronic dance music styles, DJ’s are ready to set a new record: on Thursday May 14^th, more than 150 harder styles DJs will play non-stop for 7 days at Alphen aan den Rijn’s DJ School.

Recently, Amrish Raghosing and Anthony Donner have organized the longest DJ marathon in the world, with 201 Dutch DJ’s playing records for 10 days, non-stop. They broke two world records, for the longest DJ marathon with 240 hours of music, and the biggest amount of DJ’s with 201. That definitely tastes like more, which is exactly why they’ll kick off the longest DJ marathon in the harder styles this Thursday.

Dance music has and always will unite people, especially now. In this challenging time of the Corona crisis in which DJ’s find themselves unable to perform, it’s time to make an impact in a different way. All across the globe, festivals and events have been cancelled. The initiators of the marathon want to start making positive noises by gathering a large group of DJ’s and let them play music for 7 days long, without silence and by doing so, breaking the world record. Raghosing and Donner want to show that DJ’s can stand together and make a difference, by playing sets inside the harder genre; anything from hardstyle and hardcore to freestyle and more.

The initiators of this project are Amrish Rahosing, owner of DJ School Alphen and a DJ himself, under the name of Dutch Hustlaz, and Anthony Donner, former editor-in-chief of DJ Mag NL – an expert in the international dance industry. Donner published the biggest and most extensive DJ- and dance book in the world: Dutch DJs, he interviewed and photographed more than 300 Dutch DJs and dance industry professionals.
