Rewrite
[edit]A hard slog, but I finally got round to it. Cites and references are far from ideal, but the subject is 'pop culture', relevant sources are sparse, and the peak time period is pre-internet.
Glad to see it survived the deletion vote, as originator, driving force and 'face' of Streetsounds, he should get a pass as notable. As this version is so radically different, I've detagged it. If MK turns up (again) to de-wikify it, I'll probably revert, but this time bringing up the issue of the infamous graffiti on the North Circular. Peace, b-boys and b-girls.

Article has Serious Issues
[edit]Who wrote this guff - Morgan Khan's mother? I agree with the article tag, this article has serious problems:
1 It does not cite any references or sources. Nor does the page conform to WKP style in any number of other ways.
2 Its quality may be compromised by peacock terms. Definite. The article is a complete hagiography.
3 Its neutrality is disputed. Strongly agree.See 'hagiography' above. E.g. opening sentence: Morgan Khan is a legendary music mogul, entrepreneur and founder of the iconic Street Sounds (Record Label).
4 Its tone or style may not be appropriate for Wikipedia. Self-evident. See 2 and 3 above.
I would also add that the content is also of dubious accuracy. For example, many of the artists listed were never directly associated with MK, he merely licensed their tracks for release in the UK market.
Perhaps it was someone even close to MK than his mum - see para headed 'Article':
And the empire didn't stop there, either. We also had a series of "The Artists" collections, which brought together the definitive tracks (or "cuts" as they were known then)...
Nice try Morganfunkmaster, but WKP standards are a lot higher than this PR crap. I'll have a go at it when I have the energy.

Update
[edit]As per the facebook page, Streetsounds is putting out albums and there's a 25th anniversary UK fresh event due on 16jul2011 - with original electro artists and djs who were instrumental in pushing the early years out to the fans [Dave Pearce, etc].
