Fresh Espresso release "Bossalona"

Bossalona is here!

The highly anticipated new album from Fresh Espresso is available here.

"The second album from the Seattle duo of Rik Rude and P Smoov (who’s also in Mad Rad) is another smooth and smartly crafted set of hip hop incorporating elements of electro, jazz, R&B and other styles. Both Michigan natives, the duo split the recording of the album between Seattle and P Smoov’s old hometown of Niles, Michigan, and both their current and former homes play a prominent role in the album’s songs of hard times, temptation and triumphs. It’s a fun yet substantial set with synth-driven tracks featuring a variety of funky beats and occasional horns and other instrumentation accompanying the duo’s colorful and sometimes poignant rhymes." -Don Yates - KEXP



Hard copies available at Easy Street Records, Sonic Boom, Everyday Music, and other local Seattle music shops.

P Smoov Face Scrunchers Vol 2

Hi,

I'm P Smoov.

My new record is out. Right now.

Learn, listen, love, fuck, fag, friend, die, pay, live, hate, kill.



Download here.

Here are some words about it (for idiots):

Face Scrunchers Vol. 2 is a ride through the hard drives and psyche of Seattle based mega-producer P Smoov (Mad Rad, Fresh Espresso). Half songs, half instrumentals, it’s a production album ranging from open, psychotropic compositions to tightly wound, frenetic beat concertos. All tracks are written, arranged, performed, and fondled by P Smoov himself. This album will tell you you’re pretty, love you tender, then punch you in the kidneys and throw all your shit out in the front yard.

Guests on Face Scrunchers Vol. 2 include:

Terry Radjaw, Buffalo Madonna, Rik Rude, Fatal Lucciauno, Shaprece Renee, Grynch, El Mizell, Trent Moorman, Darwin, Sharlese Metcalf, Brent Amaker, OC Notes, Slow Dance, and more.


Yours in Christ,

P Smoov

P Smoov Remix - Johnny's

So I remixed Brent Amaker and the Rodeo's "Johnny's Theme".
I made this remix at 4 in the morning by sampling the vinyl which Mr. Amaker so generously gave me. The next morning (oops I mean same morning) when I woke up and listened to it, I dug it. I sent it off to Brent. He dug it too. So did his publicist. So did his record label. Now you should.

Now get it.



Johnny's Theme - P Smoov Remix by psmoov

The summer I almost bled to death and made animations on Microsoft Paint.

It was the year 2000. I was 15. My dad took me to the doctor because my tonsils were swollen and infected. The doctor told me I would need a tonsillectomy. I had the surgery and the doctors told me it was a success and I would heal up and be fine.

The night after I left the hospital, as I was sleeping in my bed, I shot awake with blood gushing out of my mouth. It was an obscene amount of blood, like something straight out of Kill Bill.

My mom ran to grab a huge metal mixing bowl from the kitchen to catch the blood. I was quickly filling the bowl. What's worse was that every time the blood would clot it would block my airway and I would have to cough up the clot and start hemorrhaging again.

I was rushed to the emergency room. It was in the middle of rural Michigan at 3 a.m. so surgeons were helicoptered in for an emergency operation. The doctors told me I only had 30 mins until I died from blood loss. It turns out I was a bit of a medical anomaly. They told me I had 2 veins on one side of my throat and the average human only has one. The pressure of the extra vein caused the suture in my throat to burst open.

When I was finally released from the hospital I was weak and on a lot of Vicodin. I got the idea to start creating animations by drawing frame by frame with my mouse on Microsoft Paint. I sequenced the thousands of frames together and my animations were born.

I just stumbled across them on my hard drives tonight and I still think they're really cool. Each animation would take a few weeks to complete. It's interesting to see the art I was creating at 15, and I wanted to share them with all you.


They are displayed in the order that I created them in. Enjoy.









I was a little weirdo when I was 15. But I guess I still am.

Fresh Espresso x The Stranger Blog

Charles Mudede wrote a nice little paragraph today on the Line Out about our boys Rik & P for their single "Girls & Fast Cars". Heeeeereeee you go:

The Return of the Cigar Rockstar.
"I still stand by my next wave theory, and proof of that coming wave can be heard here, at 206Proof: Fresh Espresso's "Girls & Fast Cars." It's hiphop but it has nothing to do with MassLine, Sportin' Life, VitaminD/JakeOne/BeanOne moment that is happening now. We are witnessing a rupture, and the epicenter of that break is P Smoov." - C. Mudede


Fresh Espresso - Glamour coming very very very very very soon on Out For Stardom.
