Congrats! Shimza and DJ PH Have Made History For The DJing Industry
Congrats! Shimza and DJ PH Have Made History For The DJing Industry – Shimza and DJ PH have created a new record for DJing non-stop for 72-hours.
When it was explained, it appeared unfeasible for fans to hold that Shimza and PH were journeying to break the record with the longest set played in the world, but on Sunday the duo got the job done, making Mzansi proud.
“It felt good breaking the record. Honestly didn’t think it would have such a big impact, but as we started I could see how people really wanted to see that thing happen. The support from friends, family and people who follow us was amazing, that’s what kept us going most of the time,” Shimza told TshisaLIVE after breaking the record.
The record-breaking set was something planned by the duo’s Unstoppable Extreme Energy Experience which commenced on Thursday at Icon in Soweto.
Shimza explained he organised for the set by immersing himself to the gym months prior, so that his body can get accustomed to standing standing for long hours. “It was not easy but I think if I didn’t gym before that, I would have been more tired and defeated.
“We took five-to-six-hour sleeping breaks while the other would push a five-to-six-hour set, we’d play back-to-back for about three to four, then take one-hour to two-hour naps and toilet breaks in between.”
