"These iconic records hold a special place in the hearts of trance fans and the broader electronic music community. Curating this project has been a unique celebration of the historical significance of songs responsible for countless unforgettable moments. I'm thrilled that all of the artists agreed to participate, each supporting their chosen charity," said Amplifyd CEO Dan Willis.
“It’s awesome for Amplifyd to celebrate 12” classics with this auction, including my own Xpander and Scorchio, raising money for good causes,” said Sasha.
Chicane adds, “With proceeds benefiting my chosen charity, Macmillan Cancer Support, I was thrilled to autograph several of my classics for Amplifyd, including Saltwater and Offshore. I hope these records find a very special place in collections.”
The Amplifyd Signature Series auction follows the record-breaking charitable auction for experiences at EDC Las Vegas 2024, as well as auctions for Danny Tenaglia’s collection, a world-class James Bond private collection and a partnership with Disco Donnie Presents and Shaq’s Bass All Stars Festival to support local food banks in Texas.

Collection Highlights:
Delerium featuring Sarah McLachlan “Silence” (Tiësto Remix)- Tiësto’s transformative remix is one of the most iconic and beloved trance records of all time. The track became a cultural touchstone – the first house track to broadcast on daytime radio in N. America, eight weeks on the UK top 10 chart and #12 on Mixmag's ‘Greatest dance records of all time” list.
Sasha - Xpander - Released in 1999, Sasha's “Xpander” extended EP features four iconic tracks: the dirty straight to the floor house track “Belfunk," the darker tinged "Rabbitweed," the atmospheric "Baja,” and the 12 minute opus “Xpander.” Considered Sasha's crowning achievement, “Xpander” won “Best Techno/Trance 12”” at the International Dance Music Awards and #9 “Best dance track of all time” by Mixmag readers.
Chicane “Saltwater” - This year marks the single's 25th anniversary of what DJ Mag claims "One of the most iconic '90s trance tracks of all time." Upon its release, Saltwater quickly ascended the UK National Singles Chart, peaking at number six in May 1999 and extending well beyond the dancefloors.
Armin Van Buuren - The Dutch DJ, Producer and trance pioneer has earned the #1 DJ spot by DJ Mag a record of five times, four years in a row. Amplifyd’s Signature Series -Trance Classics is proud to feature every Armin Van Buuren album. Just one highlight in this collection is his 2021 single "Shivers" which was voted by fans as the #1 song in the 20-year history of A State of Trance in episode #1000.
