You wouldn’t think “The Hokey Pokey” would make its way back onto the dancefloor, but Martial Simon’s here to prove you wrong. His latest release “Shake” flips the 1953 classic into a surprise-packed, high-octane club weapon that’s already making waves. Out now on Liftoff Recordings, it’s the kind of curveball that DJs live for—unexpected, infectious, and impossible to ignore.
Simon has never been shy about reworking the past. Whether it’s his massive streaming numbers, his remix for Thirty Seconds To Mars, or topping Beatport charts, his catalog shows a consistent instinct for what works on a big sound system. But this one? It’s got teeth—and a wink.
The man just won Breakout Remixer of the Year and with “Shake,” he’s doubling down on the boldness that got him there. “It’s a high energy club record with a surprise,” he says, referring to that nostalgic nod. Clever, ridiculous, and totally floor-ready—just the way we like it.
