Fresh Records

Fresh Records was a New York City-based independent record label that operated from 1985 to 1992. The label was a subsidiary of Sleeping Bag Records that sold hip hop music. The label's roster included EPMD, Nice & Smooth, Just-Ice and T La Rock; house-music pioneer Todd Terry; and electro artists Hanson & Davis and Chocolette.

Kurtis Mantronik, in addition to being the musician of the hip-hop duo Mantronix (signed to the parent label Sleeping Bag Records), did A&R for both labels.

EPMD rhymed about its record-signing experience with the label in the song "Please Listen to My Demo", from the 1989 album Unfinished Business ("Signed on the dotted line, now we Fresh Records members.").
