If you’re a true house head, this one’s for you. Legendary DJ, producer, and Grammy Award winner Louie Vega is opening the doors to his personal archive in a once-in-a-lifetime auction in collaboration with Wax Poetics. We’re talking rare vinyl gems, vintage studio gear, and iconic collectibles that played a role in shaping the global house and dance music scene.

A Deep Crate for the Real Heads

Louie Vega isn’t just auctioning off records. He’s parting with pieces of his musical soul. Expect exclusive acetates, dubplates, unreleased test pressings, and original mixes from projects like Masters at Work, Nuyorican Soul, and Elements of Life.

These are not just collector’s items. These are time capsules from the golden era of house music. Many of these pressings come with handwritten notes and unique sleeve art, making them essential for any serious vinyl connoisseur.

Studio Tools With a Story

Among the most exciting auction lots is a handpicked selection of Vega’s vintage studio equipment, including rare analog synths, effects units, and mixers that contributed to some of the most beloved underground cuts of the last three decades.

One standout? A custom 14-karat white gold pendant of Louie’s logo, encrusted with over 290 black and white diamonds. Only two exist worldwide, and now, one of them could be yours.

More Than Just Gear. It’s House History

In Louie’s own words:
“These pieces have been with me on tour, in the studio, and through some of the most incredible moments of my musical journey. Now it’s time they inspire someone else.”

This isn’t just an auction. It’s a tribute to Louie’s legacy, and a celebration of house music culture from the inside out.
