The sounds of skateboarding

Every watched a skate film and wondered what the incredible music playing is? Wonder no longer with Skate sounds – the first website in the world to offer the tracklistings to many of the world’s great skateboarding movies. Keenan in Mouse? Rattray in Anthems?

Conceived in the mid-90s, skatesounds was a database driven reference guide to the music in skateboarding movies.
The logo was produced for the original incarnation of the website which allowed you to locate song information based on simple search criteria.

Originally the roadmap was to add social features so that anyone could update the site, to statistical charts highlighting which songs are most popular, which styles are least used and, for example, who skates to the most Wu Tang (Gino!).
