Martial Simon – A Little Respect
Beatport Hype Top 100 charting producer Martial Simon has a knack for transforming all-time classics into jewels of the modern dancefloor, and it comes as no surprise that his latest interpolation of “A Little Respect” is quickly becoming an instant hit.
Simon’s new age touch on “A Little Respect” introduces lighter pitch-perfect tenors in lieu of original vocalist Andy Bell’s iconic falsetto. This new rendition takes Erasure’s catchy lyrics and adds an electro house groove which turns this 80’s synth-pop anthem into an EDM main stage contender.
“The original was one of the very few pop songs that can be considered perfect, so why not reinvent them with a modern twist. This is a feel good interpolation that can rock a dance floor.”
- Martial Simon
The NY-based veteran DJ is still riding the waves of his successful track “You Keep Me Hangin’ On” which has already amassed over 200K streams across all platforms, and received airplay support from stations like Dash Radio and Party 105.1 FM.

Brisbane’s Beks today releases her new disco esque dance floor banger ‘Devoted’.
The single was written by Beks (Rebecca Callander) and Aaron Lee at his studio on the NSW Central Coast. Produced and mixed by Aaron Lee, the song’s 80s style guitar riff and four to the floor beat echoes a disco groove reminiscent of an early Daft Punk.
The song is entitled ‘Devoted’ however the hook of the single is ‘I’m Not Devoted To You’.
“It’s about power recall; reclaiming the power you’ve placed on someone who’s exploited that power and giving it back to yourself. It’s about idolising your own individuality and uniqueness, transforming pain into power ” – Beks
‘Devoted’ follows on from the success of her single ‘The Thing About Us’ which was picked up by Home and Away and Channel 7 for a national TV and radio advertising campaign and was a finalist in The International Songwriting Competition 2021, Brisbane as well as garnering mainstream radio play on the Hit network, KIISFM and Grant Broadcasters network.
To celebrate the release, Beks has created a blockbuster music video entitled ‘Devoted’ with Brisbane director Beau Bressington, which references iconic love films with a twist. Recreating, in detail, pivotal scenes from the films such as Ghost, The Notebook, Love Actually, Titanic, Spider Man 2 and Dirty Dancing, Beks rewrites and acts out bitter alternative endings. The music video opens with Beks working at the historically restored cinema, The Elizabeth, in Brisbane where a couple enters. Beks’ newly broken heart takes her away into a daydream to these classic love films, as she plays out, frame by frame, these revised jilted endings. Amongst these scenes are twenty dancers, alongside Beks, all styled in up-cycled, Brisbane fashion designer, Kimbra Lou clothing, performing choreography designed by Beks and shot at the iconic Fortitude Valley Music Hall.
“These iconic films have made an impression on me and my (bad) choices. I have manipulated average men (in mind) to be heroes, idolising losers, diminishing my self worth and power. I wanted to destroy that view and create a music video that would represent the main lyrical hook ‘I’m Not Devoted To You’.” – Beks
