Beatisblaak Studio and Mr. Abasifreke began a ninety-five-hour recording marathon on February 10.
This amazing accomplishment surpasses the previous record, which was set in Nigeria in 2022 and lasted for 40 hours and 19 minutes.
Just one minute separated Idem Abasifreke’s record from a whole four days of work.
Mr. Abasifreke clarified that his objective was to establish himself as the preeminent music producer globally, all the while providing a platform for emerging artists.
Every day brought new experiences, songs, and vibes because of the joy on the musicians’ faces and their readiness to record for an hour each. As per guinnessworldrecords.com, he said, “I was happy but busy praying for success.”
Throughout the entire marathon, Mr. Abasifreke and his bandmates were given five minutes off for each hour of recording.
He claimed that even though he tried to rest during his breaks, he usually took advantage of the opportunity to double-check that everything was running smoothly and that the record attempt requirements were being strictly adhered to.
He said, “I’ve been working a lot of day and night sessions as a music producer.”
He acknowledged that funding the project and maintaining his studio’s power system for days at a time was the most difficult aspect of the task.
One of our problems was that we had intermittent electricity while we tried to maintain the power, and our Wi-Fi’s data subscription was decreasing because of how many people were using it.
“Our timer stopped precisely at 96 hours, 59 minutes, and 59 seconds, but we intended to set the record at 100 hours,” Mr. Abasifreke continued.
Abasifreke hailed the accomplishment as “a dream come true” in spite of the difficulties and hard effort.
He remarked, “I am still surprised and happy.”
