Notes from the Chief Editor...

A while back we promised to bring the gallery and the blog back to the site. Please accept our apologies, but due to various reasons it takes more time than planned.

On another note, we decided to focus on the vocal/soulful stuff on the weekly updates (just the way we've done it for years). But no worries, we will continue to feature the deeper, trackier and sometimes techy stuff as well. In fact expect another such update in the next few days...

And for those wondering if we ever reject music submissions: yes we do, and to be honest quite a lot of recent submissions did not pass our quality check...

Archive Site upgraded

We are proud to announce that our Mix Archive site has been upgraded to the latest version of Joomla! as well this past week.

Upgrade successful

We are delighted to inform you that we successfully migrated to the latest version of Joomla! . Even though we've tested things before, there might still be some glitches here and there... in case you find one, please repor them to us by This email address is being protected from spambots. You need JavaScript enabled to view it. , thanks a lot.

We hope you like the new layout. At first, it might look a bit small, but this ensures it looks good on smaller screens (such as those 10" 1024x600 ones used in the so popular Netbooks).

Next we will bring the galleries with the pictures from the Winter Music Conferences back. Unfortunately, we have no exact date yet when the blog and links sections will be back. Please accept our apologies.

Regards,
Administrator

Tentative Date for Maintenance: May 21

Currently the plans are for the upgrade to be done tomorrow Thursday, May 21. During the update, the site will not be available. We will try to keep the downtime as short as posssible.

Administrator

Maintenance on "Spirit of House" ahead

We would like to inform you that Spirit of House will be undergroing maintenance soon as we plan to update Joomla! (the content management system used on the site) to the current version. We also plan to bring a fresh look to the site at the same time.

Unfortunately, this will have a temporary impact on some of the features of the site:

  • the "Gallery": we will replace the gallery system with a new one - we believe this is the right way to go for the future.
  • the "Blog": the current blog system won't work under the new Joomla!, so we are evaluating options to replace it with something else.
  • "Weblinks": we are currently using a replacement for the standard Joomla! links module which won't work neither. Evaluation of altnerate solutions is underway.

The main features - reviews, mixes, charts - are not affected by this maintenance.

Admin
