After 20 years in storage, I’ve decided to curate a special auction of records from my cherished vinyl collection. From my first purchase in 1987 to my shift to digital in 2005, these records were my musical life. Though they hold deep emotional value, it's time to share them with collectors and fans who will deeply appreciate them.
This collection is a time capsule of my journey, filled with rare, unique pieces that map my evolution as a DJ. I started with vinyl, but as technology advanced, I embraced digital formats like Ableton, Traktor, and Pioneer. Watching vinyl DJs these days still sparks nostalgia, but my career has moved in a different direction.
I've wrestled with this decision for over a decade, but I’m ready to let go and have partnered with Amplifyd for this journey.
Letting go is emotional and hard. Revisiting these records, seeing them again, holding them, and even smelling them evoked memories of a unique chapter in my life. But by releasing this collection, I’m sharing my history and allowing these records to inspire others. I hope it expands the legacy of these records, allowing them to live on in the hands of old collectors and new admirers alike.
We start with some treasures from my Global Underground Ibiza days: signed copies, well-worn/played DJ tools, and unique acetates of unreleased versions of tracks—my secret weapons in an era before digital file transfers.
