Various Artists - BCR10: Ten Years of Big Crown Records
2026 marks the tenth anniversary of Big Crown Records. Founded by Leon Michels and Danny Akalepse in 2016, the label has grown from humble beginnings into a respected independent imprint with an international roster and a catalogue built around timeless music rather than rigid genre boundaries.
BCR10 - Ten Years of Big Crown sits somewhere between a retrospective and a snapshot of the label in the present, mixing established catalogue favourites with standout material from newer releases. Across two LPs it features Bacao Rhythm & Steel Band, Lady Wray, Brainstory, Derya Yıldırım & Grup Şimşek, El Michels Affair, Thee Lakesiders, Dave Guy, Les Imprimés, Homer, Thee Marloes, Lee Fields & The Expressions, Bobby Oroza, Surprise Chef and more.
The package includes a Big Crown 10th Anniversary sticker sheet and liner notes by journalist and DJ Jeff Mao.
