Trance fans rejoice, and prepare to open your wallets.
On Monday (Aug. 12), 12-inch vinyl editions of more than 50 classic trance tracks and albums are going up for auction via Amplyfied, the online auction platforms that specializes in music collections and experiences and has previously hosted auctions for artists like Danny Tenaglia and events including EDC Las Vegas.
This latest auction includes all-time classics like Tiësto’s 2004 remix of “Silence” by Delerium featuring Sarah McLachlan, Sasha’s 1999 Xpander EP, Chicane’s 1999 “Saltwater,” a flurry of Armin van Buuren albums and other music by genre titans including Gouryella, BT, Ferry Corsten, Paul Oakenfold and System F.
The records are all original pressings from their respective release years and are each autographed by the artist.
The auction starts Aug. 12 at 9 a.m. ET and extends through Sept. 8. The sale aims to raise $10,000, with proceeds going to a charity of the artist’s choosing, with organizations like WWF, St. Jude’s Children’s Research Hospital New York and The Cancer Research Institute of London all benefiting.
The sale was organized by Amplyfied founder and CEO Dan Willis, who worked with each artist on their participation in the sale. “These iconic records hold a special place in the hearts of trance fans and the broader electronic music community,” Willis says in a statement. “Curating this project has been a unique celebration of the historical significance of songs responsible for countless unforgettable performances. I’m thrilled that all of the artists agreed to participate, each supporting their chosen charity.”
