Big Crown Records is proud to present the instrumental version of El
Michels Affair’s 2025 instant classic 24 Hr Sports. The roster of vocal
features on 24 Hr Sports is amazing, Clairo, Norah Jones, Florence
Adooni, Shintaro Sakamoto, two different choirs, and even singing from
the man himself, Leon Michels. The background vocals contributions are
amazing; Lady Wray and Kevin Martin from Brainstory to name a few. But
alas, there’s a new energy that shows up in the listen when you pair it
down to the impeccable musicianship and Leon’s tried and true “Midas
Touch” production. Leon plays a ton of instruments across the album and
is joined by the regular cast of heavy hitters; Homer Steinweiss, Nick
Movshon, Dave Guy, Marco Benevento, Hether, and more. There is even a
saxophone solo by the late, great Rahsaan Roland Kirk.
Some would argue this is some of the best music being made by some of
the best musicians of our time. We wouldn’t argue with anyone...we let
the music do what it does.
