Available now through Liftoff Recordings, Martial Simon drops a dance edit of the old-school childhood favorite, “The Hokey Pokey.”
Martial Simon, the genre-blending maestro known for turning nostalgic melodies into dancefloor staples, is back with a bold new single, “Shake,” available today (Friday, May 2) via Liftoff Recordings.
With his signature flair, Martial Simon takes the playful charm of the schoolyard classic “The Hokey Pokey” and flips it into a high-octane club anthem. It’s cheeky, infectious, and expertly produced – a track designed to make bodies move and smiles spread. The vibrant hooks and kinetic beats reflect Simon’s deep understanding of dance music’s universal appeal, with just the right dose of throwback fun and nostalgia.
Coming off his win as Breakout Remixer of the Year at the EDM Awards, Simon is clearly riding a well-earned wave of momentum. “Shake” follows a string of successes, including over 14 million Spotify streams, 27 million TikTok views, and high-profile collaborations – like his official remix of Thirty Seconds To Mars’ “Seasons.” Whether it’s transforming a nostalgic tune or putting his spin on mainstream hits, he consistently proves he knows how to command attention and energize crowds.
“‘Shake’ is a high energy club record with a surprise from the original 1953 version of “The Hokey Pokey.” Taking risks has always been my forte and this record lives on the edge.” – Martial Simon
Since his debut in 2021, the New York-based DJ and producer has been on an upward trajectory, building a reputation as a tastemaker and innovator. From chart-toppers like “Where My Girls At?” to fan-favorites such as “Don’t You Forget About Me,” his catalog reflects both versatility and mass appeal. With “Shake,” Martial Simon once again demonstrates that his pulse on the party is stronger than ever – and he’s not slowing down anytime soon.
