Danny Tenaglia Auctioning Off Collection of Studio Equipment, Albums & Memorabilia
Dance music legend Danny Tenaglia is selling a collection of his albums, production equipment, memorabilia and other gear spanning his nearly 50 year career.
Bidding on the collection starts Monday (Oct. 2), via the online auction house Amplifyd. The items available now are largely pieces of studio equipment, with bidding on much of it starting at $1; the auction will be online for the next 28 days. A second bidding phase launching in November will feature items from Tenaglia’s vinyl collection, which spans his nearly 50-year history in electronic music.
“It’s been an incredible journey to have all of this in my possession for decades,” Tenaglia said in a statement, “and I’ve been thinking for quite some time now that these items and records might be better served in the hands of others who will continue to love and appreciate them just as much as I have."
“I’m excited to auction most of my collection on the amazing Amplifyd platform,” Tenaglia continued. “What would make me the most happy is if this massive record collection and various pieces of studio gear and DJ equipment can find a new loving home where they will continue to be appreciated and used.”
The sale marks Amplifyd’s official launch out of beta, and follows the platform’s May partnership with Electric Daisy Carnival Las Vegas, which involved the auctioning of more than 30 experiences with artists including Marshmello, Armin van Buuren, Yellow Claw and Loud Luxury. The initiative raised more $100,000.
Amplifyd is also set to host forthcoming auctions from Sasha and Felix Da Housecat, who’ll be selling rare vinyl, acetates, white labels, memorabilia and studio equipment.
“Being an electronic music artist myself over the past 15 years, it’s an incredibly exciting time for Amplifyd to partner with artists of Felix, Sasha and Danny’s extraordinary talent and pedigree,” said Amplifyd Founder Dan Willis. “Their contributions to the roots and infrastructure of the electronic music industry are monumental. Our collaboration promises a unique and unforgettable journey for fans and music enthusiasts.”
Amplifyd’s founding investor is Steve Anderson, who was also a founding investor in Instagram and other ventures.
