On Saturday, August 5, 2023, techno royalty Reinier Zonneveld made history by setting a new Guinness World Record for the longest electronic music live set. The record-breaking performance took place at the Karren Maar Festival held at the historical Stadsblokken in Arnhem, the Netherlands. Reinier Zonneveld astounded the crowd with an extraordinary 11-hour and 11-minute solo live set, starting at 12:49 pm and ending at precisely 00:00 am.
This past weekend one of the worldâs biggest electronic music brands, Germanyâs Time Warp, returned to the United States after a four-year hiatus.
The anticipation was worth the wait for the several thousand North American electronic music fans who poured into The Bronx in New York City for the two-night festivities organized in liaison with local promoter Teksupport. In the 25 years since Time Warp was founded in Mannheim, Germanyâwhere it celebrated its quarter-century birthday earlier in the yearâthe festival has consistently set a golden standard for immersive stage production and an equally mind-blowing lineup. Throughout the years the festival has hosted the who’s who of techno, house, tech house and minimal, from heavyweight names that have shaped the history of underground electronic music across several decades, to up-and-comers and future leaders of their respective sounds.
