Streetsound was a monthly music magazine (often confused with the UK record label Streetsounds). It began publication in 1985 and ceased publication after issue 91 in New York in 1998. Streetsound originally started out as a tip sheet for Starsound Records, a record store owned by Ahmad and Sepehr Azari in Toronto, Ontario Canada. Its Executive Director was Michael Mannix and Creative Director was Sylvie Falar. Copyright was attributed to Streetsound Ltd with an ISDN number of 0841-2650.^[1]
While Streetsound was primarily known for its dance music coverage, Mannix and Falar mandated that it would cover all genres, from Rock to Bhangra ^[2]

History[edit]

1985 Streetsound began as a tip sheet for Starsound Records, a record store owned by brothers Ahmad and Sepehr Azari in Toronto, Ontario. Toronto DJ Jason “Deko” Steele convinced the Azaris to expand the tip sheet into a magazine^[3]. Steele recommended Montreal natives Mannix and Falar, who worked at Canadian pop culture magazine Graffiti, to run the magazines day to day operations.

Launched in 1985 as Streetsound: Canada’s Dance Music Authority, the first issue featured Janet Jackson on the cover. It was originally published as a photocopied tipsheet run from Mannix and Falar’s apartment. As the publication grew in circulation, Chris Torella and Midori Mannix joined as Managing Editor and Editorial Coordinator and Streetsound moved to offices at Queen and Spadina in Toronto (1993).
