AMERICA TURNS 250...LET'S TURN IT UP!

This Fourth of July isn't just another long weekend. It's America's 250th birthday—a celebration of two and a half centuries of big dreams, big moments, and yes...a few fireworks along the way.

No matter where you're celebrating—at the lake, on the road, grilling in the backyard, watching fireworks with friends, at the beach, or just enjoying a well-earned weekend—I've got the soundtrack covered.

 

Forget the playlists that keep repeating the same handful of songs. This weekend on In The Mix With HK™, we're creating our own sonic fireworks display with an explosive mix of today's biggest hits, exclusive HK remixes, extended versions of your favorite songs, massive mashups, throwback anthems, and nonstop energy from start to finish.

 

You'll hear the hottest music from Zara Larsson, Olivia Rodrigo, Alex Warren, Taylor Swift, plus brand-new surprises that are just starting to make noise. And because no holiday mix would be complete without a few unexpected twists, expect those signature HK moments you won't hear anywhere else.

 

America has spent 250 years proving that we're at our best when we celebrate together. Sure, we've faced challenges, overcome obstacles, and found new ways to move forward—but one thing has always brought us together: music. It crosses generations, backgrounds, and opinions, reminding us that for a few minutes, everybody can sing along to the same song.

 

That's what this weekend is all about.

 

So turn it up. Roll the windows down. Fire up the grill. Grab your friends and family. Whether you're dancing in the backyard or heading to the fireworks show, let In The Mix With HK™ provide the soundtrack for your Independence Day celebration.

 

Here's to 250 years of America...and one unforgettable weekend filled with nonstop hits, unforgettable memories, and plenty of sonic explosions.

 

Happy Fourth of July...and I'll see you In The Mix With HK!

 

SIENNA SPIRO'S SECRET WEAPON...AND HER BIGGEST CHALLENGE

  

Some artists spend years trying to create a signature sound. For Sienna Spiro, it turns out hers has been there all along.

 

The British singer-songwriter has become one of 2026's biggest breakout stars. After turning heads with "Die On This Hill" in 2025, she's kept the momentum going with "The Visitor," "Material Lover" from The Devil Wears Prada 2 soundtrack, and now fans are counting down to the release of her debut album, Visitor.

 

One of the first things you'll notice about Sienna is her unmistakable voice. That rich, raspy tone has become her calling card—but it isn't something she set out to create.

 

In a recent interview, Sienna revealed she has vocal nodules—small bumps on her vocal cords that give her voice its unique texture. While that rasp has helped make her instantly recognizable, it also makes singing a lot more challenging than most people realize.

 

Before she was diagnosed, she says she was constantly losing her voice. And because she never had formal vocal training growing up, she even joked that she's "technically a terrible singer."

 

The reality is anything but.

 

After learning about the condition, Sienna completely changed the way she takes care of her voice, often spending two to three days in total silence before and after performances to give her vocal cords time to recover.

 

It's a reminder that sometimes the very thing that makes an artist stand out is also the obstacle they have to work the hardest to overcome.

 

Judging by everything she's accomplished over the past year, that extra effort is paying off in a big way. And with Visitor on the horizon, it feels like Sienna Spiro is just getting started.

THIS WEEK ON IN THE MIX WITH HK™

 

This week on In The Mix With HK™, the playlist is stacked, the energy is sky high, and the vibes? Absolutely unmatched.

 

We’re serving up today’s biggest HITS from Alex Warren, PinkPantheress, Zara Larsson, BTS, Sombr, and Bruno Mars — plus MORE of the tracks taking over playlists, charts, and speakers everywhere.

 

We’re also diving into brand new music from dance heavyweight David Guetta, global icon Shakira, and a collaboration that’s got everyone talking — Madonna teaming up with Sabrina Carpenter. If fresh music with major star power is your thing, this week’s mix delivers.

 

And because In The Mix With HK™ never forgets where the party started, we’re throwing it back with mind-blowing throwbacks from Real McCoy, Adele, Swedish House Mafia, and more tracks that’ll hit you right in the nostalgia — then flip the energy all over again.

 

As always, expect EXCLUSIVE HK REMIXES, nonstop energy, surprise moments, and the kind of mix that keeps your speakers working overtime.

 

Remember...“If it’s hot, if it’s new, and it makes you wanna move...You’re In The Mix With HK™."

DEFINITELY NOT FEELING SOMBR

  

If you haven’t caught on to Sombr yet, now’s probably the time.

 

Fresh off a breakout year that keeps getting bigger, Sombr hit the stage at the 2026 American Music Awards last weekend with a high-energy performance of “Homewrecker”—and brought serious intensity to the moment.

 

The AMA appearance capped off a huge night for the rising singer-songwriter, who pretty much owned the Rock/Alternative categories. Sombr walked away with Best Rock/Alternative Album for I Barely Know Her and also snagged Breakthrough Rock/Alternative Artist, making it clear this isn’t just hype anymore.

 

From viral momentum to major award wins and now a standout AMA performance, Sombr’s having the kind of year artists dream about. The real question now: is this just the beginning?

 

Tune in this weekend to hear my EXCLUSIVE REMIX on “Homewrecker”. Along with HK remixes on Kehlani, Rihanna, Lady Gaga/Doechii, OneRepublic, Noah Kahan, and others. Plus amazing re-imagined throwbacks so sick your body will be shaking.

 

Remember...“If it’s hot, if it’s new, and it makes you wanna move...You’re In The Mix With HK™."

Madonna And Sabrina Carpenter Bring Their Love

Madonna and Sabrina Carpenter team up on the lead single from Madonna’s new album. Is it a legit banger…or just another case of a post-peak artist tapping into a younger pop star’s fandom? Maybe it’s both. Either way, I’ve got an exclusive HK remix this week on In The Mix With HK™.

Plus, brand-new music from Jennifer Lopez and David Guetta, John Summit, Bebe Rexha, and Charli XCX. And if you’re craving the classics, I’m throwing it back with Michael Jackson, Gwen Stefani, and Pitbull—plus so much more.

Remember...“If it’s hot, if it’s new, and it makes you wanna move...You’re In The Mix With HK™."
