In July 2024, Bridgeport Records a collaboration between deep house producer/DJ Vick Lavender and former labor leader Jerry Morrison, opened its doors in Chicago.
The store's indisputably eclectic vinyl collection has been curated by Vick Lavender and represents the varied musical influences on his life. The shop sells jazz, hip-hop, soul, alternative rock, and dance music from a heap of sub genres, as per Vick Lavender half of the stock is new.

As this has been a very slow week with few releases passing our quality control, no update will be published this weekend. We will be back with one more update before the end of the year; however, we haven't decided yet if it will be published before or after Christmas.
Kind regards,

I feel it is time to remind everyone of a couple of important points. Most importantly, please remember that I maintain 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.
Importantly, 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 10 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,
