I 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 genre Electro since the early 80′s was electric funk and hip-hop music, mainly for break-dancing, bee-bopping, and body-popping. 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.
