An upbeat new house track has been released – based on the real-life heart rate of a bingo player the moment they land a full house.
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 – the heart rate measured at the exact moment a bingo player completed their ticket and won the game.
Called ‘’FULL HOUSE’’, it’s 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 [https://soundcloud.com/fish-octagon] crescendos into a euphoric, chest-thumping cry of “house”, 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: “Innovation is everything in music - you’ve got to keep surprising people, and blending the tension of bingo with the classic build and drop of house felt like the perfect crossover.
“I wanted to capture that electrifying moment when the numbers are dabbed off and you know you’ve won - it’s a proper rush, and that’s what this track is all about.
“House music thrives on that feeling of anticipation and release, and so does bingo - it’s all about the buzz before the drop, or the call that matches your final number.
“We hope this track brings that same energy, whether you’re on the dancefloor, dabbing numbers, or soaking up the summer sunshine.’’
Professor Dan Augustine, medical director at Sports Cardiology, who analysed the heart rate data used to design the track, explained: “We 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.
“A game of bingo can activate a “fight or flight” mode - which releases adrenaline and raises heart rate, even in the absence of movement.
“As a result, in that ‘full house’, winning moment, our lucky player’s heart rate surged by a whopping 33 per cent - reaching 128 BPM.’’
A study of 2,000 adults commissioned by Mecca Bingo revealed that music taste shifts in summer for 28 per cent.
With 41 per cent leaning towards feel-good anthems and 25 per cent craving high-energy, upbeat tunes that match the sunny vibe.
Turns out house music one the go-to genre for 23 per cent of 18-34 year old – and of those as many as 76 per cent say it gives them a ‘winning feeling’, like something brilliant is just around the corner.
While more than a third (34 per cent) young fans of house crank it up when doing chores.
Almost four in 10 (39 per cent) say it’s their soundtrack for smashing gym workouts, while it’s the kitchen companion for 29 per cent of the young adults when cooking.
And one in five (21 per cent) added a good house tune makes them feel completely unstoppable.
A spokesperson from Mecca Bingo said: “The biggest moment in bingo is undoubtedly when players shout “House!’’ to claim a big jackpot prize, so we wanted to capture that winning feeling in a dance track.
“By combining two classics - bingo and house music - we’ve created something that celebrates the thrill of the win in an entirely new way.”
