Big Crown Radio

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.

Presenting, Everyday Will Be Like A Holiday -Volume 9… Even though it’s BCR’s 38… The classy & conceptual, collection of cuts, classic, some unconventional, but always cordial. Número Nueve is, an earmarked number for myself, as I am, a Life Path 9… Oof, it ain’t always easy. Wherever I happen to be, people think I work there, & ask for help?.. Usually I can actually accommodate, go figure that?.. From record shops, to buddah spots, or bodegas, a Nine’s path is passionately complicated, & compassionate, due to 9’s uncommon universal effect, & embodiment of, ALL other numbers… Yeah that’s right. Just add 1+2+3+4+5+6+7+8 = 36… 3+6= 9… 9+9= 18… 1+8= yup 9. Nine takes the shape of a spiral, see, the combined wave of creativity, & evolvement, living life to express, love… But, feeling, well, everything… So, in the Holiday projects, I try to perfectly place, songs that move me, to tell that old soul, heartfelt, type a story, metaphoric, & literal. & hopefully, it can inspire getting back to, or rather evolving to a greater place, of love & compassion… Signing off (as 9 is also the number of completion), simultaneously living in the past, & ahead of this fucking time…

P.S. volumes 7 & 8 are done (for those paying attention), they just haven’t been publicized on the avenues they was gifted to, yet…

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.
