It has been a while since I shared some thoughts and news with you... so here we go:
- WMC 2011: I decided to skip this year after I was kind of disappointed of last year. Lets hope the changes they make to the conference this year will bring it back where it was before - maybe one day I'll attend again...
- Direction of "Spirit of House": I will continue to keep the focus on soulful vocal house, I will also try to include more classics from back in the day to bring those good old memories back...
- Promo Submissions: Please make sure you only send high quality files as otherwise the submission will not be considered for review. Surely this isn't a problem for the majority of those people sending me promos (thanks a lot to all of you - you know who you are), but there are a few that send low quality files...
- Use of my reviews: I wanted to remind everyone who is using my reviews for any type of activity (e.g. quotes, mail outs, promotional texts) that a reference such as "Written by Mike Fossati for Spirit of House (www.spiritofhouse.com)" must be added. Thanks to all of you who did do this last year, it is truly appreciated.

It has been quite a while since we've given Spirit of House a new look... Not that much different from the previous one, but still noticeable. Some fine tuning is still required to have everything look the way we want to...
Best,

Even after announcing end of 2009 to cut down the reviews of tracky/techy stuff and focus on soulful vocal house, it was only a few weeks ago I consequently put this into place. At the same time I started to become more selective on what will get reviewed.
On another note, the site was moved to a new server a few weeks ago. This should have resolved some known issues (like our weekly newsletter being marked as SPAM).

With the Miami update published today on Spirit of House, one might ask what will be next... Well, there is some more music we got in Miami that needs to be reviewed, and of course new promos are coming in on a daily base...
Life will go on, so will the weekly updates on Spirit of House... For now, we will relax and enjoy the long easter weekend.

I got back to Switzerland yesterday and started to sort out all the music I got since I published the last update on March 14. Lots of music to review, and to make sure its about quality and not quantity I spend lots of time listening to music...
The first batch of reviews will be published later today, the next part of reviews should be online Thursday or Friday. As for the mixes, they should be online later on the weekend.

The WMC in Miami is over, and exhausted I am from all the parties... it appears to be true what some people say: "you need need vacation from the WMC". Of course, some parties were going on on Sunday, but I decided to take a break and just hang out with friends.
I'll be on my way back to Switzerland today, so expect an update with reviews and fresh mixes featuring exclusives promos within the next couple of days. Also I will publish my recap of this years WMC soon.
On another note, the site will be moved to a new server within the next week as well. We'll do everything to make sure there are no interruptions to the service, but you'll never know...

My business trip to New York is over, and I have to admit I had a fantastic time working and hanging out with my office colleagues...
Today was a beautiful day in New York with blue skies and warm temperatures... perfect to take a "walk in the park" (Central Park that is), to walk over the Brooklyn Bridge and go down to Chinatown and Little Italy...
All that is left to say: Miami here I come...

As I will be on a business trip to New York next week and will head straight down to Miami from there to attend the Winter Music Conference, there won't be an update next weekend; however I will make another Classic Mix available on the mix archive. Expect the next regular update around beginning of April.
For those that want to hook up with me in Miami, I'll be arriving the evening of Sunday, March 21, and will be there until Sunday, March 28.
