The label's founders, Leon Michels and Danny Akalepse, bring decades of experience in the music industry to their work at Big Crown. Michels is a renowned producer and multi-instrumentalist who has worked with artists such as Lee Fields and Sharon Jones. Akalepse is a respected DJ and collector known for his deep knowledge of rare records.

Since its inception, Big Crown Records has released albums from an impressive roster of talented artists including *Lee Fields*, *The Shacks*, *Bacao Rhythm & Steel Band*, and many more. The label prides itself on working closely with its artists to create unique and authentic music that resonates with listeners.

In the wake of their new album, Expansions, Bacao Rhythm and Steel Band drop another must have two-sider. On the A side they take on the J DIlla produced Slum Village club banger “Raise It Up” and give it the BRSB treatment. SV fans will lose their shit when this comes on. Heads will be nodding from the first beat of the opening drum break and when they start playing the top line on the pans it’s a wrap. Now that they have your attention they take the tune and expand on it changing the arrangement and lacing it with brass and guitar parts that keep pushing the tune to higher and higher levels of energy. The B finds BRSB taking on the infamous Galt MacDermot tune “Space”. Made famous in the hip hop world when it was sampled for Busta Rhyme’s classic “Woohah Got You All In Check” it is about to receive another boost from Bacao’s version. Both sides of this 7” are going to be mainstays in DJ sets for years to come.
