Longest DJ Session

Lakota one of  Bristol's best known night clubs is keen on a world record breaking spree.So on its 20th anniversary the club along with another record holder Richard Dolby  hosted the longest ever DJ relay.
Inspired by the Olympics a group of 100 DJ's  played one tune  each  continuously.The session lasted for 2 hours 30 minutes and all the DJ s who had contributed in creating Lakota's name in the 90s assembled at the venue.To increase the excitement levels of everyone special guests Jon Da Silva a regular headliner and  John Kelly from the Liverpool Club would play their tracks in the marathon.
And what turned for a 20th birthday party went on to become a record breaking event.Lakota looked to snatch the title from Radio one Xtra DJ who played with 82 artists.The record currently stands at 100 DJs playing 100 records and we will smash it as part of our birthday celebrations.

Ivor Wilson, Grayson Shipley (Deepgroove), Deli G and Mark Davis are also on the line up. They were the residents at Lakota in the 90’s at nights such as Fish Dude, Revolution and Fandango. The resident DJs from other regular 90’s nights at Lakota such as Lazyhouse, Fruity Antics and One Love will be guesting during the evening.  Charlotte Hazleby who was the club’s promoter in the 90’s will dust off her vinyl and give a rare set.

Leon Alexander of Hope Music is organising room 2 which will be a techno room, reminiscent of the Friday nights at Lakota in the 90s. Billy Nasty, Nifty and Leon Alexander will play alongside other techno DJs. During the 90s Leon’s night at Lakota was called Temptation and he booked DJs such as Carl Cox, Sven Vath and Laurent Garnier.
The session  was set by Dance Aid For One Life on  at Lakota Club in Bristol, United Kingdom on June 9,2012.The  attempt was record  a breaking one and has been included in the Elite World Records.
