Carl Cox’s final track of the last millennium? A Pierre J production - Night Flight - Shake It Up. It’s 1999, the clock strikes 23:57, and Shake It Up ignites the dancefloor in Sydney as the crowd goes wild! The whole world was tuned in too, as this legendary set was broadcast on BBC Radio 1’s Essential Mix. The track also made waves on Judge Jules’ and Pete Tong’s shows on BBC Radio 1 and climbed to the Top 5 of the Swedish Dance Chart.

Fast forward 25 years, and we’re celebrating this iconic release with brand-new remixes. Leading the charge is Tellus, another successful Swedish act, delivering a high-energy, peak-time remix that stays true to the original while injecting a fresh, modern sound. Hertz also joins the party with a funky, dynamic remix. Together, these updates breathe new life into Shake It Up, making it ready to dominate 2025!
