Big Crown Radio returns with a very special episode from our friend Double Peas. She made a killer mix of records with female leads and asked us to make sure it comes out on International Women's Day. So here is "Everyday Is International Women's Day" from one of the baddest women in the record game hands down. She's a member of Hot Peas & Butta and Sundown Soul Club. Catch her playing records anywhere you can and it is guaranteed to be right on.

Big Crown Records is proud to launch Big Crown Radio, our label curated podcast of DJ mixes. First up, our own Danny Akalepse takes us for a listen to his Impressions of Impressions Part 1 mix, paying tribute to The Impressions with a mix of Soul & Rock covers of their tunes. To celebrate the launch of the podcast we pressed up a limited edition cassette tape of Impressions of Impressions Part 1 and the forthcoming Part 2 (all reggae covers of Impressions tunes). Expect to hear mixes from Big Crown artists as well as a ton of heavy weight DJs and record collectors that we are happy to call friends and colleagues. 

From Danny on Episode 1: 

“The Impressions, as Curtis, Fred, and Sam are one of my favorite groups ever. I’m really into collecting covers, I have been at it for a long time. I came up with the title for these two mixes and that really got me going, from the artwork to the tunes I really like the way this came out and it seemed fitting to commit it to a tape, two sides worked really well for the genres. This project definitely sent me on a trip digging and digging for more versions to add to what I already had, and I had to leave off some killers so I wouldn’t repeat songs. Some of the records on here aren’t straight covers but tunes that someone jacked Impressions melodies and arrangements and wrote their own verses over them.  At the end of the day this mix has a heady level to it, but I am hoping that even with no context at all, and for people who don’t know who The Impressions are it will still be a good listen just the same. Curtis is a god in reggae, there’s way too many covers to get onto one mix, so I pulled some of the more known ones and some of the more obscure. I collect a lot of reggae records, something most folks don’t know me for, this is the first time I am releasing a reggae mix publicly. I hope everyone enjoys the vibe”.

The B side of Danny Akalepse’s Lost & Looking / My Heaven… cassette. "My Heaven" is a mix of Jamaican slowies. B sides of 45s and album cuts that range from soul ballads to doo-wops to mid-tempos, all with a JA twist. There’s a whole world of these, this is just a cassette side’s worth. Dim lights, have a nice evening.
