WESTON SUPER MARE, U.K. - s4story -- Rising Southwest UK DJs/Production duo HERATIKS have officially announced their forthcoming Summer 2026 Anthem, 'Hands Up High,' on global release on Friday June 5th 2026, via highly respected dt weapons (Data Transmission).

Following a string of high-energy releases and a landmark minimix for BBC Introducing, HERATIKS return with a track engineered specifically for peak-time impact. The timing of the release represents a calculated strategic move by label heads Grahame Farmer and Hobbs at dt weapons. Originally slated for a February 2026 launch, the label opted to hold the track back to ensure it landed as a definitive anthem for the summer festival circuit. 'Hands Up High' is a driving tech house cut that pairs punchy drums with a commanding vocal hook, designed to create an instant connection on the floor.

According to label representatives at Data Transmission, the track represents a confident evolution in the duo's sound:

"HERATIKS bring a production style that focuses on rhythm and movement without overcomplicating the formula. The low end is tight and purposeful, while sharp percussion and subtle synth textures keep the track evolving. It balances raw club functionality with a polished finish."

The industry response ahead of the release has been significant. The data from the Inflyte promo circuit reveals a global heatmap of support stretching from the UK to mainland Europe, Ibiza to Los Angeles, Chicago, New York and Sydney. The track has already been championed by elites including Richie Hawtin, Joris Voorn, Joseph Capriati, Paco Osuna and Shiba San.

Legendary selector Fatboy Slim (Skint Records) praised the track's infectious energy, stating, "I love the hook. The feel-good factor," while house music icon Roger Sanchez (Under The Radar) provided a perfect 5-star rating in early feedback. Additional radio support is already locked in via Select Radio and Kiss FM Australia, with the track already airing in the special 10-minute HERATIKS Minimix produced for BBC Introducing.
