Next update in early January 2019

Details
Written by: Mike Fossati
Created: 29 December 2018

With 2018 coming to an end, we are taking a short break and will be back with the next update in early January 2019. Also, I wanted to inform you that the comment feature has been disabled as, even though all comments are moderated, there has been constant abuse for unsolicited messages.

Happy new year!

Reminder - Important Information about "Spirit of House"

Details
Written by: Mike Fossati
Created: 17 November 2018

I wanted to take this opportunity to remind everyone of a couple of important points. Most importantly, please remember I do run Spirit of House as a hobby, the website doesn't pay the bills. Time I can spend is limited, therefore I might not be able to respond to every inquiry, and especially I will not be able to be on social media all the time to respond to your messages immediately.

Also I would like to emphasize the following:

  • The focus is on vocal soulful/afro house, anything else will be featured on an exceptional basis
  • Any submission is made for review consideration and does not guarantee a review
  • Please send only high quality files (320kps CBR MP3, lossless e.g. WAV/AIF is preferred) of the complete mixes, streaming links and edits/snippets of the mixes will not be accepted
  • Please provide proper naming of the files e.g: Artist - Track Title (Track Version)
  • There will be a maximum of 12 reviews per update (independent of the frequency of the updates), from time to time and depending on the time available there might be "Bonus Reviews"

And finally a friendly reminder on the use of my reviews: I wanted to remind everyone that I'm fine if you use my reviews (e.g. for quotes, mail outs, promotional texts) as long as a reference such as "Written by Mike Fossati for Spirit of House (www.spiritofhouse.com)" is added.

Kind regards,
Mike Fossati

Year-End News from the Chief Editor

Details
Written by: Mike Fossati
Created: 20 December 2014

Another year is coming to an end soon, and similar to previous years I would like to take this opportunity to thank all the artists, producers, labels etc. who sent their music for review consideration on Spirit of House - without you Spirit of House would simply not be possible.

Having posted our final update for the year, it is time to look forward to 2015. Although Spirit of House will continue to serve you with reviews of the latest and best soulful house music on a weekly basis, I consider certain changes as I struggle to find the time to listen to all the submissions and write the reviews. With regards to the Winter Music Conference in Miami in March, no decision has been made as of yet but chances are I will not attend (while it may be worthwhile I find it simply too expensive).

That said, we will be back in the new year with fresh reviews....  Finally, we wish you merry Christmas and all the best for 2015 !!

Yours truly,
Mike Fossati

Written by: Administrator
Created: 25 September 2014

After quite some time, we have given the Spirit of House website a fresh new look. We are now using a "responsive template" which should much better adapt to the smaller screens of mobile phones and tablets as well as to any browser you may use on your desktop or laptop. In the coming days and weeks we will try to further tweak the layout, please contact us This email address is being protected from spambots. You need JavaScript enabled to view it. in case you come across any issues we should look into.

Kind regards,
