recorded digitally my entire StreetSounds Electro compilation series. I recorded my StreetSounds vinyls into Protools, with as much digital restorations as possible and widened stereo-field. The label Streetsounds was part of the UK Streetwave stable of labels created by Morgan Khan in 1981, specializing in releasing Electro and Hi-NRG releases. StreetSounds were series of compilation albums created from some of the hottest 12″ imports of the day. The most coveted of the Streetsounds releases were the Electro series. These albums introduced the UK to the developing hip-hop scene from America – a stroke of genius that brought electro and early hip hop from the underground to the UK high street. The Electro series ran for a total of 27 albums (and one box set) from 1982 to 1988. The albums were initially labeled StreetSounds Electro, later changing to StreetSounds Hip Hop after release 12 in 1986. All of the albums were competently mixed by the best remixers of the day.
