Today, Sara Landry returns with her latest single, 'Hands Up,' a high-powered collaboration with close friend and HEKATE favorite, Alt8, released via Landry’s own HEKATE label.
Following the massive success of their previous collaborations, including 'Heaven,' 'Havana Bounce,' and 'Funk Em,' Landry and Alt8 have reunited to kick off the summer with a track that is full-throttle from the very first beat. The production features a relentless kick drum met with a playful, infectious bounce that creates a euphoric, carefree tension—perfect for long nights on the dance floor. With 'Hands Up,' the duo successfully bridges the gap between warehouse-ready intensity and magnetic, danceable energy.
"I always have so much fun in the studio with Alt8. When you have a banger, you know, and every time we’re together I get that feeling. This track is a cheeky one, just in time for summer – I can’t wait to share it with you all."
