Many other stars have joined his previous sessions showing their love to his mission. Following his Friday session, he uploaded a post captioned “I can’t believe that I started the Home School social distancing dance party just four days ago and it’s become a place for us to virtually dance together and stay connected.”

The past few weeks have been trying for everyone around the world. Celebrities, influencers, and everyone in between have been looking for out-of-the-box ways to encourage one another in the midst of this global crisis. DJ D-Nice is no different being more than determined to jam us out of this pandemic one live session at a time.

The legendary spinmaster might have broken Instagram’s record of having the most users on a live session at once. Saturday’s live session began at 2 pm PST and lasted well into the night. Although he joked that he was going to try and host the party for 24 hours straight, D-Nice lasted longer than any of us imagined ending it around the 10-hour mark after premiering Childish Gambino’s new music. “It’s a worldwide party,” he said at one point. “We need love right now.”
