In the 90's, Frost was a session musician for many studios in London, one of these was unable to pay him so they gave him a few free days in the studio and the result was \"Give It Up\" as he explains: \"I went in and recorded all the music in a day, and the vocals and mix on day two. This was the days of only having 24 tracks available on tape so I programmed the drums, bass and keyboard parts on C-Lab which was only available on the Atari computer and the samples I made on my Akai S-1000 sampler. Full of floppy disks I went in early on day one and printed all of this on tape. I then recorded the guitar parts. Day two was me layering the lead vocals and backing vocal parts as quick as I could before starting to mix.\"\n\nHowever, the track fell into obscurity with no major label backing or marketing budget. A friend of Mark Grusane’s came across it in Brooklyn at the African Record Centre and it eventually ended up in Mark's hands and from there he edited the original track to a more stripped-back dub mix and began playing it out to great effect on dancefloors.\n\nAfter a bit of digging, Rush Hour tracked down Kevan and organized this fully licensed reissue, including the brand new ‘Dub Mix’ from Mark Grusane.\nhttps://www.discogs.com/release/36863524-Kevan-Adrian-Give-It-Up?srsltid=AfmBOorcudOmS9cci_iOJRxk5cl7waBXatHX8bWKP5Kx9kM_J8a3t6Hu", "location": 1, "location_name": "Default", "play_type": "trackplay" }, { "id": 3641310, "uri": "https://api.kexp.org/v2/plays/3641310/?format=api", "airdate": "2026-04-12T19:50:49-07:00", "show": 66436, "show_uri": "https://api.kexp.org/v2/shows/66436/?format=api", "image_uri": "https://coverartarchive.org/release/69a34190-1d47-4c0d-98c0-93331e333f75/21536525697-500.jpg", "thumbnail_uri": "https://coverartarchive.org/release/69a34190-1d47-4c0d-98c0-93331e333f75/21536525697-250.jpg", "song": "What’s the Story", "track_id": null, "recording_id": "ca5ed5c1-91d4-47cb-b5f6-4dd72d03f8da", "artist": "Patrice Rushen", "artist_ids": [ "a247b1b8-8f47-4568-9a89-fa16b4a2b77f" ], "album": "Before the Dawn", "release_id": null, "release_group_id": "8b22eec7-273b-4424-a141-6ad02a6a405b", "labels": [ "Prestige" ], "label_ids": [ "11847c89-4b2c-4866-84c3-f72e264c0f66" ], "release_date": "1975-01-01", "rotation_status": null, "is_local": false, "is_request": false, "is_live": false, "comment": "Patrice Rushen released \"What’s the Story\" on her second studio album, Before the Dawn, in 1975.\n\nWhile 1974's Prelusion was essentially a straight-ahead record with fusion references, Rushen's Before the Dawn was essentially a fusion album.

Masisi Mass Funk from Anamara State was one such band. But during their brief moment in the stratosphere, they produced a funk gem in I Want You Girl. The band was championed by Ebere Ikoro from the Hygrades. He took them under his wing after an ill-advised collaboration with Soly Dibong. They were originators not imitators, he said. He produced I Want You Girl and played on it as well. \n\nSadly, Masisi Mass Funk only released one album, their star burning as quickly as it did brightly. They went on to form First Planet, an Afro Boogie band that tore up Lagos dancefloors in the ‘80s. But that’s another story for another day. - Peter Moore\n\nhttps://pmg-label.bandcamp.com/album/masisi-mass-funk-i-want-you-girl-1979-2017", "location": 1, "location_name": "Default", "play_type": "trackplay" }, { "id": 3641305, "uri": "https://api.kexp.org/v2/plays/3641305/?format=api", "airdate": "2026-04-12T19:28:13-07:00", "show": 66436, "show_uri": "https://api.kexp.org/v2/shows/66436/?format=api", "image_uri": "https://coverartarchive.org/release/4181ccd1-f0ba-48cb-a34f-64d8d30445f8/36664240255-500.jpg", "thumbnail_uri": "https://coverartarchive.org/release/4181ccd1-f0ba-48cb-a34f-64d8d30445f8/36664240255-250.jpg", "song": "Searchin’", "track_id": null, "recording_id": "eb7852ec-0c88-4ffb-a41e-e98c63fac9de", "artist": "Standing Room Only", "artist_ids": [ "aece3dd1-c5f4-49c8-b725-442e6a2e5804" ], "album": "Heart and Soul", "release_id": null, "release_group_id": "6a23cc2f-698d-4aa6-bad9-0c2e863c9501", "labels": [ "YGB Records" ], "label_ids": [], "release_date": "1982-01-01", "rotation_status": null, "is_local": false, "is_request": false, "is_live": false, "comment": "Richmond, Virgina funk group Standing Room Only released \"Searchin’\" on their 1982 album, Heart and Soul on YGB Records.", "location": 1, "location_name": "Default", "play_type": "trackplay" }, { "id": 3641304, "uri": "https://api.kexp.org/v2/plays/3641304/?format=api", "airdate": "2026-04-12T19:24:14-07:00", "show": 66436, "show_uri": "https://api.kexp.org/v2/shows/66436/?format=api", "image_uri": "", "thumbnail_uri": "", "song": "Party Time In The Gas Line", "track_id": null, "recording_id": null, "artist": "Stonewall", "artist_ids": [], "album": null, "release_id": null, "release_group_id": null, "labels": [ "Love Capp Records" ], "label_ids": [], "release_date": "1980-01-01", "rotation_status": null, "is_local": false, "is_request": false, "is_live": false, "comment": "Stonewall released \"Party Time In The Gas Line\" and b-side \"Independent Lady\" in 1980 with Love Capp Records.", "location": 1, "location_name": "Default", "play_type": "trackplay" }, { "id": 3641303, "uri": "https://api.kexp.org/v2/plays/3641303/?format=api", "airdate": "2026-04-12T19:21:07-07:00", "show": 66436, "show_uri": "https://api.kexp.org/v2/shows/66436/?format=api", "image_uri": "", "thumbnail_uri": "", "comment": "", "location": 1, "location_name": "Default", "play_type": "airbreak" }, { "id": 3641302, "uri": "https://api.kexp.org/v2/plays/3641302/?format=api", "airdate": "2026-04-12T19:18:47-07:00", "show": 66436, "show_uri": "https://api.kexp.org/v2/shows/66436/?format=api", "image_uri": "https://coverartarchive.org/release/5b79794d-caf9-4ff6-9526-4332ce260fdc/36033427539-500.jpg", "thumbnail_uri": "https://coverartarchive.org/release/5b79794d-caf9-4ff6-9526-4332ce260fdc/36033427539-250.jpg", "song": "It's So Good To Be Alive", "track_id": null, "recording_id": "bb889aa8-422c-497c-a78c-b2089d861329", "artist": "The Williams Singers", "artist_ids": [], "album": "Lord Have Mercy (The Soulful Gospel Of Checker Records)", "release_id": null, "release_group_id": "76bcf1ff-8cff-496a-ad65-62aef9e74d84", "labels": [ "Cadet" ], "label_ids": [], "release_date": "2017-03-17", "rotation_status": null, "is_local": false, "is_request": false, "is_live": false, "comment": "You can find the track \"It's So Good To Be Alive\" by The Williams Singers on the 2017 compilation album Lord Have Mercy (The Soulful Gospel Of Checker Records).", "location": 1, "location_name": "Default", "play_type": "trackplay" }, { "id": 3641301, "uri": "https://api.kexp.org/v2/plays/3641301/?format=api", "airdate": "2026-04-12T19:12:10-07:00", "show": 66436, "show_uri": "https://api.kexp.org/v2/shows/66436/?format=api", "image_uri": "", "thumbnail_uri": "", "song": "In The Spirit", "track_id": null, "recording_id": null, "artist": "Jéroboam", "artist_ids": [ "963ba375-1cfb-4c72-aeb4-11247073311d" ], "album": "12\" Inch Single", "release_id": null, "release_group_id": null, "labels": [ "Space Grapes" ], "label_ids": [], "release_date": "2025-01-01", "rotation_status": null, "is_local": false, "is_request": false, "is_live": false, "comment": "\"In The Spirit\" is a track by the French funk/disco artist Jéroboam (often associated with the Space Grapes label), released in 2025.
