“There was one brother who’d skateboard to the club, dance all night, then ride back home. One night, after a gig, he came up to me in the parking lot and handed me these two custom boards. One of them was this medium one — clean, bold, with the Vega Records logo on it. It was totally unexpected, but beautiful. You can feel the love he put into it. I kept them all these years, but now I want to pass it on to someone who’ll really appreciate it — maybe a fan who skates, or someone who just loves the culture we’ve built together.” – Louie Vega

"this isn’t just stuff — it’s part of my legacy. And I hope it ends up in the right hands."

“Collecting is a big part of my life — it’s more than a hobby. I’ve been collecting vinyl for over 45, almost 50 years.

One of the first records I ever bought was Melting Pot by Booker T. & the M.G.‘s… and Love to Love You Baby by Donna Summer. We’re talking early, pre-disco 45s. I grew up in the Bronx, and there was a little record shop just down the block — Stratford Avenue, right near Westchester. I was 10, 11 years old, already going down there to buy Salsoul records.

That passion’s stayed with me. I’ve collected vinyl, vintage gear, musical equipment, and yeah — I’m a big hat collector too. It’s part of who I am.

For me, it’s important to carry on this legacy. I’ve made music for decades and played all over the world.

So if someone out there — whether we shared a dancefloor moment, or you connected through a piece of my music — ends up owning something from my collection, that means everything to me."
