Various Artists - BCR10 : Ten Years of Big Crown Records [2LP]

Due for release 30th October 2026 via Big Crown Records

2LP

2026 marks the tenth anniversary of Big Crown Records. A lot can happen in 10 years, and a lot did. From very humble origins, Big Crown has become one of the most respected independent imprints in the world with an incredibly talented international roster and an incomparable catalog of timeless music. Leon Michels & Danny Akalepse opened the doors at Big Crown in 2016 with a simple ethos: put out good music they believe in regardless of genre.

BCR10 - Ten Years of Big Crown is somewhere between a retrospective and a state of affairs, tried-and-true gems from the back catalog mixed with rock-solid tunes from the newest records. A double LP with choice tracks by Bacao Rhythm & Steel Band, Lady Wray, Brainstory, Derya Yıldırım & Grup simsek, El Michels Affair, Thee Lakesiders, Dave Guy, Les Imprimés, Homer, Thee Marloes, Lee Fields & The Expressions, Bobby Oroza, Marco Benevento, The Shacks, Paul & The Tall Trees, Thee Heart Tones, Surprise Chef, 79.5, Liam Bailey, and Holy Hive. A deeper dive into the Big Crown story is told perfectly in the liner notes by the one and only, journalist & DJ, Jeff Mao.
