This song is based on the real-life heart rate of a winning bingo play | Music | Entertainment
DJ Fish56octagon teamed up with Mecca Bingo to create the house music track, which has been engineered to recreate the excitement of winning every time you hit play. The house track runs at 128BPM â the heart rate measured at the exact moment a bingo player completed their ticket and won the game.
Called ââFULL HOUSEââ, itâs packed with tension-building beats and euphoric highs to mirror the thrill of a jackpot call and the bingo experience. It features pulsing bass lines which builds anticipation with the sound of rushing blood heightening suspense, set against the celebratory clink of glasses.
The song, which is available on Soundcloud crescendos into a euphoric, chest-thumping cry of âhouseâ, followed by a classic music drop with bingo calls woven throughout.
Fish56octagon is renowned for his viral house mixes and signature at-home dressing gown DJ sessions that have earned him over a million followers.
He said: âInnovation is everything in music – youâve got to keep surprising people, and blending the tension of bingo with the classic build and drop of house felt like the perfect crossover.
âI wanted to capture that electrifying moment when the numbers are dabbed off and you know youâve won – itâs a proper rush, and thatâs what this track is all about.
âHouse music thrives on that feeling of anticipation and release, and so does bingo – itâs all about the buzz before the drop, or the call that matches your final number.
âWe hope this track brings that same energy, whether youâre on the dancefloor, dabbing numbers, or soaking up the summer sunshine.ââ
Professor Dan Augustine, medical director at Sports Cardiology, who analysed the heart rate data used to design the track, explained: âWe often associate a racing heart with physical exertion, but our experiment shows that the excitement, anticipation and tense nature of a bingo game can trigger the same response.
âA game of bingo can activate a âfight or flightâ mode – which releases adrenaline and raises heart rate, even in the absence of movement. As a result, in that âfull houseâ, winning moment, our lucky playerâs heart rate surged by a whopping 33 per cent – reaching 128 BPM.ââ
A study of 2,000 adults commissioned by Mecca Bingo revealed that music taste shifts in summer for 28%. With 41% leaning towards feel-good anthems and 25% craving high-energy, upbeat tunes that match the sunny vibe.
Turns out house music one the go-to genre for 23% of 18-34 year old â and of those as many as 76% say it gives them a âwinning feelingâ, like something brilliant is just around the corner. While more than a third (34%) young fans of house crank it up when doing chores.
Almost four in 10 (39%) say itâs their soundtrack for smashing gym workouts, while itâs the kitchen companion for 29% of the young adults when cooking. And one in five (21%) added a good house tune makes them feel completely unstoppable.
A spokesperson from Mecca Bingo said: âThe biggest moment in bingo is undoubtedly when players shout âHouse!ââ to claim a big jackpot prize, so we wanted to capture that winning feeling in a dance track.
âBy combining two classics – bingo and house music – weâve created something that celebrates the thrill of the win in an entirely new way.â
