Martial Simon Spins a Childhood Classic into a Club-Ready Banger with “Shake”

Martial Simon’s new single “Shake” rips the rug out from under a generation’s most innocent dance cue and replaces it with a pulsating, club-slicked blast of rhythm. Out now on Liftoff Recordings, the track’s as playful as it is punishing—stacked with gritty low-end, snappy drums, and a melodic nod to the schoolyard that somehow hits harder than expected.

The NYC-based DJ/producer thrives in the unexpected. Fresh off an EDM Award win for Breakout Remixer of the Year, Simon’s momentum doesn’t just carry over—it spikes. “Shake” feels like a reward for listeners who’ve followed his path through reworks of pop standards and high-voltage originals alike. It’s funny, it’s ridiculous, and it bangs.

With over 14 million Spotify streams and 27 million TikTok views in his pocket, Simon’s status isn’t speculative—it’s measurable. His remix of “Seasons” by Thirty Seconds To Mars marked a major checkpoint, but “Shake” proves he’s still enjoying the ride. “‘Shake’ is a high energy club record with a surprise,” he says. That surprise? Nostalgia, flipped into a floor-filler.

It’s a record that knows what it is—and dares you not to move.
