Go here to find out more about the various shows you can listen to on this radio station.

As in previous years, Michael Fossati will be present in Miami from March 21 to March 30 for the Winter Music Conference and the M3 Summit to represent Spirit of House. If you want to meet Michael, please contact him by email or use the contact form.

Spirit of House will work in conjunction with In Da Mix Worldwide to bring you the best from this yearly gathering.

Another four weeks & something and we’ll be in the position of having a clearer idea as how’s doin’ the worldwide house scene with the yearly Miami gathering. We’ll be there once again offering you an ever consistant coverage this year with the addiction of label manager/DJ/producer Claude Monnet on the list of our representative alongside Michael ‘Spiritofhouse’ Fossati and Olivier Velay.
Still in mind this O’Jays’ classic called ‘I Love Music’ ? Well, I guess you all readers should, but do you really act according to this ? That’s the thema of our Politics Of Dancing section this week. One of the main reasons why music is a universal thing comes from its ability to bless our souls whoever we are and wherever we’re coming from. Not to mention the fact that each makin’ of a piece of music may lead, if not to a new genre, at least to some interesting combination. As an illustration amongst many others, we’ve chosen to tell you the story of US singer Arthur Miles ‘Helping Hand/Trippin’ On Your Love’, a single released in 1990 on FFRR, melting blues with the most modern forms of groove at the period. Meanwhile our latest issue as its title says – 33RPM – gives a display of some of the latest album releases at this precise time.

Things are progressively going back to the normal on what is, by the time you read this, the flipside of your screen, havin’us doin’ almost 24/7 to refuel this space with the aim of having everything in full effect right on time : in other words, by the middle of March with the launch of our online record shop followed by the coverage of the annual Miami festivities.
We may now officially reveal the reconduction of our partnership with the M3 Summit (thanks to David Prince & cohorts for their trust), meanwhile Michael Fossati of spiritofhouse.com and Olivier Velay of Stalwart Records are to join our team for the duration of the aforementioned, providing us with pics & reports.
Closer to us timely speaking, our weekly schedule focuses on the expected return of nu soul icon Maxwell with a new album rumoured to hit the streets in April after a 5 years hiatus. Our Politics Of Dancing editorial evokes the possible end of a cycle as far as the current production is concerned, meanwhile our Issue # 110 marks the return of the In Da Mix column. Not to mention that special surprise we have for a deep friend of ours due to appear on your screens this Friday. Are you with ?

You can’t imagine how pleasant this is for us to get back to you while being given back the possibility to add further life to this space after such a period of unvoluntary silence. Once again, thanks to those who shown us signs of commitment either while sendin’ us messages and material or simply coming to those pages. As for what to appear on your screens this week, a tribute to legendary disco/funk artists/producers Nile Rodgers & Bernard Edwards better known as Chic, our regular Politics Of Dancing series dedicated to the many times spoken thema about unity as opposed to self destruction. Also on display for our French speaking readers will be the third and last part of our zoom on the said electronic scene and its understanding on a local point of view. Meanwhile our Issue # 109 under the Back 2 Da Roots banner focusses on the contribution of the Europeans (or the Euro Americans) on the disco/dance scene with a whole bunch of must haves. Take a walk on the white side !
