12 years ago, Egon hosted his first pop up record shop at Now-Again Records HQ in the Highland Park neighborhood in Los Angeles. In 2016 he opened an adjoining space and expanded the concept to more than record shops – the space hosted cultural gatherings of likeminded people from the world over, from artists to winemakers to musicians of all walks, from young to old. The inspiration came, originally, from the legendary record conventions hosted in the early 1990s in New York City’s Roosevelt Hotel and collecting elders who showed him the ropes. So, with the announcement of the end of these events – we will wrap this series at the end of 2026 – it’s fitting that we bring back one of the collectors Egon reveres the most, DJ Shadow, for his 8th Annual Storage Unit Sale!

We will post more news about Shadow’s event and as to the final slate – which will include stalwart friends like the Groove Merchant’s Chris Veltri.

It’s that time again! Shadow’s been busy getting an ALL-NEW, fresh assortment of rare goodies together for your record-hunting pleasure.

Whether you’re looking for established classics in top condition, rarities, or the obscure, all bases are covered on this bigger-than-ever storage sale.
As with past sales, there’s a wide spread of formats on offer, including (primarily sealed) CD’s and cassettes. Price points on records range from $3 and up, with an effort to price below established online value…”So that dealers have a margin,” says Shadow. “The idea is to cater to everyone, from the casual fan on a budget, to the brick-and-mortar shop owners, on up to the grail hunters. I want even the most sophisticated collector to be like, ‘Uh, I’ve never seen half of this stuff before.'”
So come out and meet DJ Shadow at his 8th Annual Storage Sale…you won’t be disappointed!
About the events:
Egon’s been selling records from his collection at events he’s hosted in Los Angeles for 12 years now. What started as a quarterly event in 2014 morphed over the years, and in 2025 he hosted at least one event – sometimes two, or three – a month in the 1500 square foot Now-Again space in the Highland Park neighborhood of Los Angeles.
These events will conclude at the end of 2026. For the final slate of events, he’s bringing his friends – like DJ Shadow, DJ Muggs, Chris Veltri from San Francisco’s Groove Merchant and Mr.Joe Benson from Omaha – and offerings from their collections and, in Shadow’s case, as he is very clearly not selling his record collection, vast storage units of vinyl goodness.
At each event, the entire Now-Again catalog will be available for a one day discount of 20% less than our normal retail prices. Stay tuned to Egon’s Instagram for more details on this evolving series of vinyl showcases.
