Sounds a bit like a more relaxed cousin to "Heartbeat", due to its soulful vocals, disco rhythm, and upbeat plinking synth riff during the chorus. The jazzy electric piano chords are a nice touch as well. This original release can be distinguished from the reissues/bootlegs by a few characteristics. While the original has a color-gradient label-background with a light green/grey undertone the reissues have plain black background. The text alignment is different as the original has a full line-spacing between "Records & Filmworks Inc." and "Chemise". On the reissues there is only a 1-2 milimeter spacing. Also the original says "33 1/3 RPM" and the reissues say "331/3 RPM". The lower round-text ends next to "Vocal" on the originals while it ends at the height of "RPM" on the reissues.

"Hold Tight" is a 1981 single by Change from the LP entitled Miracles. The single's vocals were sung by Diva Gray. Along with the songs "Paradise" and "Heaven of My Life", it became a number one single on the US dance chart for five weeks.[1] It was also the second single released from "Miracles," as "Hold Tight" peaked at number 40 on Billboard's Soul Chart, and number 89 on the Billboard Hot 100.

While super-producer Fred again..’s complex yet club-ready April debut album ‘Actual Life (April 14 – December 17 2020)’ was centred around lost connections and uncertainty — with the pandemic serving as an apt backdrop — its follow-up chronicles the death of a loved one.Fred Gibson, the Brian Eno protégé who has notably collaborated with the likes of Stormzy, Ed Sheeran and The xx‘s Romy, documents the many stages of grief on ‘Actual Life 2 (February 2 – October 15 2021)’, turning fragments of conversation into a personal music time capsule that aches with emotion and eventual catharsis.

Bias is best known for his single "Neighbourhood" which reached #25 in the UK charts in July 2000,[3] having created a large underground response from late 1999 in its original version. Living in Milton Keynes at the time, he collaborated with several other local artists and DJs resulting in a host of well-received tracks and remixes early in his producing career, such as "Standard Hoodlum Issue" with DJ Spatts (The Criminal Minds).[4] Some of these have been released on his own Sidewinder/Sidestepper and Biasonic labels.

Todd has been an effervescent presence in dance music for nearly 30 years. His telltale production style, sample-heavy and delightfully swung, is a crucial element of US house, UK garage, and early dubstep. As if it wasn’t good enough being one of the foundational ‘Teachers’ listed by Daft Punk on their 1997 album ‘Homework’, Todd went on to become a close friend and serial collaborator of the Robots, too. But you don’t have to take their word for it. Earlier this year, Todd’s celebrated back catalogue was rescued from limbo and uploaded to streaming services for the very first time. Todd, everyone agrees, is deserving of his flowers. And now he’s getting them all over again.
