Legendary house music diva Michelle Weeks and KlevaKeys (Adam Agnilleri) team up to present "Hold of me", a marvelous soulful production featuring the inimitable sultry vocals by Michelle Weeks alongside grand keys over smooth yet spell binding rhythms in the 'Original Mix'. The 'Alternative Piano Mix' turns up the heat with a precious piano and a fiercely stompin' backing, while the 'Sunday Morning Mix' relaxes the vibe with a broken beat inspired backdrop leading the way for the vocals and heavenly keys.

The 'Zulu Down To Earth Mix' gives the song a warmer organic feel, while the 'Zulu Quiet Days Mix' relaxes the vibe to give the song a wonderful laidback sun drenched touch.

In our humble opinion, simply one of the best, if not THE best ever, Roger Sanchez production, released on the legendary Strictly Rhythm label. "Luv dancin" is an unforgettable deep sexy classic that is truly hypnotizing and spell binding yet melodious and soulful, originally put out as an instrumental track in 1990, featuring a vocal sample (which informs the title of the track) taken from the all-time classic "Is it all over my face" by Loose Joints. Then (to be precise in 1991) came the remix featuring a soothing female vocal by Jasmine which took the track to a whole new level. One of the true timeless house music classic of all time...
