The band developed a loyal following, playing the extensive NW club, concert and dance venues throughout the mid-to-late 1970s. Their sound was a blend of melodic R&B and powerhouse funk that dependably filled music venues throughout the Western US. Bernadette Bascom was the lead vocalist, who captivated audiences with her powerful yet velvet-smooth voice and commanding, magnetic stage presence.\n\nIn 1978, Epicentre worked with Seattle producer Don McKinney to record their music in Seattle's now legendary Kaye-Smith studios. The result was seven strong, fully -produced R&B songs, with occasional horn and string orchestrations tastefully added to the final versions. \nTheir music quite literally sat on a shelf for decades until McKinney decided that all the hard work and talent should no longer remain undiscovered and it needed to find its audience. He restored and digitized his copies of the master tapes and looked for an opportunity. A chance call to the former leader of the group, Kell Houston, led to a serendipitous introduction to UK boutique/funk/R&B label founder Russell Paine. The result was an agreement to release their music, starting with two songs, \"When You Were In Love With Me\", and \"Magic Carpet.\"", "location": 1, "location_name": "Default", "play_type": "trackplay" }, { "id": 3603189, "uri": "https://api.kexp.org/v2/plays/3603189/?format=api", "airdate": "2026-01-11T19:40:53-08:00", "show": 65625, "show_uri": "https://api.kexp.org/v2/shows/65625/?format=api", "image_uri": "", "thumbnail_uri": "", "song": "Fantasy Love", "track_id": null, "recording_id": null, "artist": "Teleclere", "artist_ids": [ "0d136f60-83bd-4395-949c-c9132ab2aa25" ], "album": null, "release_id": null, "release_group_id": null, "labels": [ "Telemusic Productions" ], "label_ids": [], "release_date": "1982-01-01", "rotation_status": null, "is_local": true, "is_request": false, "is_live": false, "comment": "Teleclere released \"Fantasy Love\" and b-side \"Ultra-Groove (The Jailhouse Jam)\" in 1982.\n\nTeleclere was a funk/soul band from Seattle formed by Tony Benton.", "location": 1, "location_name": "Default", "play_type": "trackplay" }, { "id": 3603188, "uri": "https://api.kexp.org/v2/plays/3603188/?format=api", "airdate": "2026-01-11T19:34:52-08:00", "show": 65625, "show_uri": "https://api.kexp.org/v2/shows/65625/?format=api", "image_uri": "", "thumbnail_uri": "", "comment": "", "location": 1, "location_name": "Default", "play_type": "airbreak" }, { "id": 3603187, "uri": "https://api.kexp.org/v2/plays/3603187/?format=api", "airdate": "2026-01-11T19:31:26-08:00", "show": 65625, "show_uri": "https://api.kexp.org/v2/shows/65625/?format=api", "image_uri": "", "thumbnail_uri": "", "song": "Friends Amigos", "track_id": null, "recording_id": null, "artist": "Zozobra", "artist_ids": [ "a6b8ef30-1d47-4042-9b29-3963e4cd7a7a" ], "album": null, "release_id": null, "release_group_id": null, "labels": [ "Zozobra Productions" ], "label_ids": [], "release_date": "1978-01-01", "rotation_status": null, "is_local": false, "is_request": false, "is_live": false, "comment": "Zozobra released \"Friends Amigos\" and b-side \"Juicy\" in 1978.", "location": 1, "location_name": "Default", "play_type": "trackplay" }, { "id": 3603186, "uri": "https://api.kexp.org/v2/plays/3603186/?format=api", "airdate": "2026-01-11T19:26:35-08:00", "show": 65625, "show_uri": "https://api.kexp.org/v2/shows/65625/?format=api", "image_uri": "https://coverartarchive.org/release/83294c21-d2b0-4a87-928f-b1c4bf5c6fb6/2994507157-500.jpg", "thumbnail_uri": "https://coverartarchive.org/release/83294c21-d2b0-4a87-928f-b1c4bf5c6fb6/2994507157-250.jpg", "song": "Love Is Everywhere", "track_id": null, "recording_id": "842762fa-6083-4138-acaa-cb2f6b783216", "artist": "Pharoah Sanders", "artist_ids": [ "b3a0912a-a62a-4388-9368-7cb21ed5caf9" ], "album": "Wisdom Through Music", "release_id": null, "release_group_id": "7354cf56-bc3f-3931-af01-512e941ac340", "labels": [ "impulse!" ], "label_ids": [ "93c3b044-2b4e-4239-a73b-8fb76f3e6ca9" ], "release_date": "1972-01-01", "rotation_status": null, "is_local": false, "is_request": false, "is_live": false, "comment": "Pharoah Sanders originally released \"Love is Everywhere,\" featuring Norman Connors on drums, on the 1972 album Wisdom Through Magic. \n\nSpirit was the overwhelming force in Sanders' music: It emanated from his tenor and soprano saxophones in fiery blasts or a murmuring flicker, and it suffused his ensembles, which featured several generations of improvisers equally willing to dig in or soar free. In 1964, John Coltrane asked Sanders to sit in with his band - what followed was some of the most controversial years in the history of jazz, with a total desertion of traditional jazz concepts.
