Sasha to Celebrate 25th Anniversary of 'Global Underground 013: Ibiza' with Special Vinyl Auction

Sasha’s vinyl archive will open for the first time on July 8 for an exclusive auction hosted on Amplifyd. 

The special event –  “The Sasha Collection” – celebrates the 25th anniversary of the visionary's dual-disc Global Underground 013: Ibiza mix album by auctioning 100 of his carefully curated records, including the exact vinyls used to create the iconic compilation, widely regarded as one of the best mix compilations in the history of dance/electronic music. The auction represents a rare opportunity for fans to get their hands on signed copies from the Global Underground 013: Ibiza days, as well as Sasha’s other trusted, go-to records and unique acetates of unreleased versions of his songs or, as he calls them, “my secret weapons in an era before digital file transfers.”

“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,” Sasha shares. “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.”

Still, Sasha acknowledges that the decision to part with 100 records close to his heart and central to his career is both “emotional and very 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,” he adds. “I hope it expands the legacy of these records, allowing them to live on in the hands of old collectors and new admirers alike.”

Highlights of the collection include 12-inch vinyls of Sasha’s “Xpander” and Bedrock’s “Heaven Scent,” among other timeless records. A full list of the records included in the Sasha Collection is available on Amplifyd’s website, where bidding will take place from July 8 through July 30.
