With so much fresh music being put out at the moment, we are not able to consider everything for our weekly updates that covers each featured release in detail. For this reason - and whenever time permits - we will try to close the gap with a new format called Short Reviews. And of course these reviews will be accompanied by a mix show that will also feature alternate versions of previously reviewed releases.

So let us welcome you to the new Short Reviews on Spirit of House !!

Picks of the Week

Urban Dance Institution "I miss U" (Original Mix)(UDI Records CD Promo)

Urban Dance Institution, the project created by Slovenian DJ Dekky a couple of years back, returns with the masterly orchestrated and performed "I miss U", with Shola Phillips providing a passionate vocal over a smooth funk flavored groove that is enriched with jazzy keys, flute, horns and classic strings. The result is simply wonderful, with a groove and vocal hook that will catch you instantly. The Groove Junkies are on remix duty, intensifying the vibe by using a funked-up, deeper groove and wicked synths that together with the original orchestration and vocals creates a relentless feeling.

In the evening of April 21 (CET),Chicago-based DJ/producer Abicah Soul made a couple of bulletin postings on MySpace about a Spanish DJ doin’ illegal music sharing (including a response from the the aforementioned who denied the accusations). On April 22, Consortium Muzik posted the same news on the Southport Weekender forum which started to give the whole affair more dimension with the accused DJ PS again denying it all. The affair given further development, with the latest at one time (for a few hours at least) having links posted to archive files of unreleased Abicah Soul music on his site.

To shed light on this issue, we've contacted some of the artists, producers and labels the music of which is played by DJ PS. All of them assured me that they never sent him their music, and some of them even haven't heard of him before. This confirming both what Abicah Soul and Consortium Muzik have made public as to what DJ PS has got his hands on lot of the music he plays through shady channels to say the least. So knowing there’s no way to get unreleased music legally which is appearently not the case as far as DJ PS is concerned, the issue is obviously somewhere else.

Expect further developent soon to be given on this page by Big Cee of Consortium Muzik himself doin’ his debut as correspondant for Indamixworldwide.com... Michael Fossati (SpiritOfHouse.com)
