Collector finds

Stuff I’d want on the shelf myself.

Curated eBay Ambassador collections built around the music, not random product dumps.

KELVINFINDS
CollectionAd · eBay Ambassador

Kelvinfinds

The full collector storefront.

Classic mix CDs, progressive-house vinyl and releases connected to the DJs, labels and era covered on The Mix Archive.

Why this collection?

It’s the collecting side of the same obsession behind The Mix Archive: releases with a story, a sound and a reason to still want the physical thing.

SASHA & JOHN DIGWEED
CollectionAd · eBay Ambassador

Sasha & John Digweed

The shelf starts here.

Renaissance, Northern Exposure, Global Underground and the releases that still explain why Sasha and Digweed became shorthand for an entire progressive era.

Why this collection?

The attraction isn’t rarity for rarity’s sake. It’s owning the mixes and records that helped turn progressive house into a world of its own.

NICK WARREN
CollectionAd · eBay Ambassador

Nick Warren

Progressive that travelled well.

For collectors drawn to Warren’s melodic, patient side of progressive house and the mix-CD culture that made a new city feel like a whole new sound.

Why this collection?

This collection is about the releases that make you want to put the phone down, open the booklet and listen to the whole thing properly.

PROGRESSIVE HOUSE VINYL
CollectionAd · eBay Ambassador

Progressive House Vinyl

The records that made the room move.

Progressive-house vinyl from the era when white labels, record shops and a DJ’s box could still send you hunting for a track for months.

Why this collection?

Not a random vinyl category. These are the records that fit the sound, history and collecting lane behind The Mix Archive.

I may earn a commission from qualifying purchases.

CLASSIC MIX CDS
CollectionAd · eBay Ambassador

Classic Mix CDs

Two discs. A booklet. A whole night in a jewel case.

Renaissance, Global Underground and other mix CDs from the period when a compilation could become part of your musical identity.

Why this collection?

These are the physical mixes worth revisiting because the sequencing, artwork and sense of place still add something streaming doesn’t quite replace.
