ELECTRO 3 BEER

Electro 3 is a sessionable 4.5% corker of a Pale Ale with characteristics of peach, mango and pine on the nose and palate, and a dry grapefruity finish.

As ever, Electro 3 will be Limited Edition & Collectable, come with a peelable label and liner notes rejoicing the defining sounds of 1984 when the Street Sounds Electro 3 album was released.

The 4-packs of Electro 3 will start shipping to Subscribers tomorrow (Thursday 31st August). All Subscriber orders despatched by 4th September!

IMPORTANT NEWS: The Electro 1 beer launch party has already acquired almost legendary status for the AMAZING vibe, UNIQUE feeling of family and being just one of the best events Street Sounds have ever held! The problem for thousands who wanted to come was that the party was by invite only and very limited. The good news is that we are just finalising another Electro beer party, however, this time YOU being one of our Electro beer Subscribers will be given priority notice, before we announce the event to the rest of the Street Sounds family on social media. Watch this space!

In the meantime, keep it F-R-E-S-H, Fresh, Fresh…Fresh 3 M.C.’s!

Morgan Khan, the unsung hero...


'In 1982, Khan – then 23 – launched Street Sounds, a compilation series that democratised the dance music underground. Suddenly, tracks that had been available only on import in specialist shops, bought by DJs and serious clubbers, were available to all.' Michael Hann, The Guardian

Our very own Morgan Khan sat down with The Guardian to discuss all things Street Sounds! Check out the article now for more information on the history of Street Sounds, and for an exclusive insight into the world of Morgan.

Street Sounds 'THE BOOK'

"I have been working on the STREET SOUNDS - THE BOOK for over a couple of years and I am finally coming to the end of this epic project.
The Street Sounds story is as much about the music as it is about the lifestyle, fashion and attitudes of these pivotal years. In many ways the Street Sounds albums mirrored what was happening on the streets. The book branches off into several directions, it tells of the street kids who wore Adidas trainers and Kagools and spent their free time break dancing on pieces of cardboard on street corners to the beats pumping out of a boombox, many of ‘you’ are now reading this!...the influence of the music…the power of graffiti…the importance of vinyl…the producers & remixers who created the music…the politics of the day; the in’s and outs of the record companies & recording studios, some things will shock, surprise & be a revelation, because I want the world to know what was the real deal!...the struggles of black artists to be supported and the genius of their music…my own personal experiences; the good, the bad and absolute bizarre!
The Street Sounds Book will be a substantial publication and visual extravaganza. Nothing has been spared to make this book something you will cherish, to hopefully make you smile, to remember, maybe even cry. A record and testament to the greatest era of music & culture to pass down to your children, as a testament to ‘our’ music, lifestyle and passion.
The book will also have a fan section, which will allow many of you to have your comments. I will be posting more information about how you can get involved very soon.

You can email me at: book@streetsounds.co.uk
Send me up to 1000 words about what Street Sounds has meant to you; as a record label, the music on the albums, our events that may have influenced you or became the soundtrack to your life. We also need photographs, so if you have any personal pics of you with a Street Sounds connection, for example dressed in your breakdancing gear (past/present), or at any gigs/events that are relevant, or posters on your bedroom walls.
Don't forget to include a contact number in your email".
Respect & love,
