CASHEW + TAD command the crowd in new tech house single ‘Hands In The Air’ – garnering global attention.
Croatia-based house music talent CASHEW teams up with French phenom TAD for their explosive tech house release titled ‘Hands In The Air.’
After rinsing the ID and previewing the song for a few weeks on social media, the two release their much-awaited collaboration, and the masses are already losing their minds to its infectious sound.
Fresh off the buzz of his last salacious single and set weapon ‘Funk Phenomena‘, rising dancefloor instigator CASHEW is out of the studio and back in the club with a brand-new tech house heater. This go around, teaming up with TAD, the duo’s latest single ‘Hands In The Air‘ wastes no time making its intentions clear – this one is built for peak-time chaos and choice after-hours energy.
Powered by its iconic crunchy low-end groove, thrusting percussion, and the authoritive vocal hook that simply demands crowd participation, ‘Hands In The Air‘ captures that undeniable electricifying nightlife allure where the bass hits hard and the laser’s glow illuminates any moon-lit evening.
It’s no shock that this release is already catching spins and gaining the attention of heavy-hitters and household tastemakers like ODD MOB, It’s Murph, SIDEPIECE, and Danny Avila across festival stages, nightclubs, and in DJ sets worldwide, lining up for their digital copies to use in their rotations.
For CASHEW and TAD, the monetum is real – and ‘Hands In The Air‘ is another confident jump forward in their catalogs of dancefloor dominating tunes.

Let’s CHAT
We ask: How did you both create ‘Hands In The Air‘?
CASHEW: “Honestly, “Hands In The Air” came from having fun in studio. When me and TAD linked up, we knew we didn’t want to overcomplicate anything. We wanted to make something that hits but that it sounds simple.
For me, “Hands In The Air” is a festival anthem at its core. I’ve always wanted to create a track that hits a crowd like a shockwave, something that grabs their attention instantly.“
WE ASK: The vocals garner such a commanding yet simple tone, is this intentional to have an easy but susceptive pre-drop vocal?
CASHEW: The vocal is super direct on purpose. It does exactly what the title says. I love simple commands in records like this because in a festival setting, clarity is everything. When that vocal comes in, there’s no confusion, you already know what to do.
WE ASK: What else do you have cooking for 2026?
CASHEW: 2026 is looking really exciting for me. I’ve got a lot of music prepared and ready for release, so the plan is to keep a strong flow of new tracks coming throughout the year.
I’m also lining up shows across Europe for the summer, where I can bring this new music to life. It’s shaping up to be a big year with more releases, more stages, and a lot of growth.
