Skeleton Keys’ ‘Shake It’ Returns with New Remixes from Valmer and our very own Hobbs (UK) & Carlos Van D

Skeleton Keys’ dancefloor-focused single ‘Shake It’ returns to Disco Infiltrators with two sharply contrasting remixes from Hobbs (UK) and Carlos Van D, alongside French producer Valmer.

Originally released as Skeleton Keys’ debut on the label, ‘Shake It’ established its intentions immediately through a recognisable vocal hook, energetic house drums and a groove designed to get bodies moving. The new remix package takes those foundations in two distinct directions, moving between low-slung disco house, Italo-inspired electronics and a faster, funk-charged club sound.

Hobbs (UK) and Carlos Van D Take ‘Shake It’ into Italo Disco Territory

Hobbs (UK) and Carlos Van D slow the pace slightly and give ‘Shake It’ a darker, more muscular overhaul.

Sitting at approximately 123 BPM, their remix rolls forward on a weighty bassline, tight percussion and a set of glossy synth lines that pull the track towards disco house and Italo territory. The original vocal is threaded throughout the arrangement, acting as a familiar focal point while the production steadily builds tension beneath it.

Rather than relying on an oversized drop, the pair create movement through subtle shifts in rhythm, layered electronics and controlled changes in pressure. Bright synth flourishes cut through the heavier low end, giving the remix enough colour to retain the playful spirit of the original while delivering a tougher club presence.

It is a groove-first interpretation suited to warm, packed rooms, late-night disco sets and DJs looking to bridge classic influences with contemporary production.

Valmer Raises the Tempo with a Funk-Driven House Remix

Valmer approaches ‘Shake It’ from a noticeably different angle, pushing the tempo towards 129 BPM and injecting the track with a brighter, more urgent energy.

His remix is driven by crisp drums, a bouncing bass groove and chopped vocal details that bring constant movement to the arrangement. Filtered disco textures and sharp rhythmic changes give the production a distinctly French house character, while its faster pace places it firmly within peak-time club territory.

The vocal hook remains central, but Valmer cuts, repeats and reshapes it around the rhythm, turning the phrase into another percussive element. The result feels playful without losing its punch, with each section arriving quickly and keeping the momentum high.

Where the Hobbs (UK) and Carlos Van D remix is deeper and more controlled, Valmer’s version is built around speed, lift and immediate dancefloor impact.

Together, the two versions demonstrate how widely the original ‘Shake It’ concept can be stretched.

Hobbs (UK) and Carlos Van D lean into the track’s disco and Italo potential, creating a rolling, synth-heavy remix with plenty of low-end weight. Valmer heads in the opposite direction, increasing the pace and transforming the single into a lively house cut filled with funk, colour and rhythmic urgency.

Both retain the vocal identity that made the Skeleton Keys original stand out, but neither plays it safe. Each remix introduces its own musical character while remaining focused on the same essential purpose: making the dancefloor shake.
