Stafford Brothers - Hands Up [Official Future Music Festival 2013 Anthem + Remixes]

The leading Australian dance music power duo, the Stafford Brothers, have released the Official Future Music Festival 2013 Anthem, “Hands Up.” Each year the brothers are the official hosts of the main-stage of Future Music Festival playing alongside and presenting artists such as Skrillex, Swedish House Mafia, and Fatboy Slim, among others. This year, they are taking their involvement one step further by not only hosting the event, but also with producing the stunning official anthem. In addition to the Stafford Brothers’ offering, the release is supplemented by jaw-dropping remixes from Tenzin, Dirt Cheap, Charity Strike, and Stan SB.

Following the release of their widely successful remix package of their first single, “Hello” with Lil Wayne and Christina Milian, on Cash Money Records, the Stafford Brothers are back in full force showcasing their undeniably infectious brand of big-room dance floor annihilators alongside a number of remixes from Tenzin, Dirt Cheap, Charity Strike, and Stan SB. In “Hands Up,” they begin with an introduction of the alluring overtones matched with the spliced, pitched-up vocal sample and a stuttering synth line for added texture. The anthem then builds up into a thrilling crescendo that drops into a powerfully stimulating progressive house section that will take listeners into flight with the help of bright emotive melodies and a side-chained, gritty bassline. The Stafford Brothers continue on their path to international stardom with every incendiary release and unforgettable performance.
