DJ Dan, one of America’s most highly sought after DJ/producers, has recently donated a large portion of his record collection (5,000+ 12” vinyl gems) to NextAid to auction off for charity. NextAid has partnered with Simi Valley California retail store, auction house, and online merchant, Fishy Finds, for this holiday auction on eBay. The “DJ Dan Record Collection Charity Auction for NextAid” is set to go live on eBay Saturday, December 15, 2007 at stores.ebay.com/Fishy-Finds. Each lot will range in quantity from a half-dozen to 100 records – each group a gem in its own…
The 5,000+ DJ Dan 12” (with a small amount of 10") vinyl records in this auction span from 1988 to 2006 with a bulk of the records from the mid- to late-nineties and include a wide range of musical genres, including: progressive house, funky house, deep house, old and new school funk, new school breaks, funky techno, trance, and tribal. These are Dan’s original battle worn records that have been played in the old school rave parties along the west coast, including the legendary parties of Funky Tekno Tribe, The Gathering, Organic, and Spundae. Roughly one third of the collection contains promos and white labels as well as several acetate cuts and dub plates of classic house tracks. All the records are in good condition. The collection also includes autographed copies of several of Dan’s own productions such as “Needle Damage,” Cirrus’ “Stop and Panic” remix, Freshmaka’s “I am the Freshmaka” remix, Basco’s “Everything is Going to the Beat” remix, plus other signed test pressings. Labels include Dust Traxx, Moonshine, Sm:)e, and International House Records.
DJ Dan has been a faithful supporter of NextAid’s for years. Recently he participated in their ongoing efforts to build the “Youth With A Vision Community Center and Children’s Residential Village” in Dennilton, South Africa by “adopting” the Art Studio in the Main Center building for $7,500. DJ Dan has led the way as one of the first individuals to take part in NextAid’s “Adopt-A-Project” campaign, launched in September 2007.
