BEST SONG EVER!



On July 22 One Direction is releasing a new single entitled "Best Song Ever" which made me think I was having deja vu. Then I realized, no - wait a minute. In the past year there's been "F**king Best Song Ever" by Wallpaper, then "Best Song Ever" by The Ready Set and now One Direction. And that's just off the top of my head. Apparently many artists and songwriters feel they've just written the best song ever. Well, only time and audience response will tell, but in the meantime you should know I'm working on the best show ever!

This weekend on In The Mix with HK™ I'll be showcasing brand new mixes on Ke$ha - "Crazy Kids", Macklemore & Ryan Lewis - "Same Love", Florida-Georgia Line - "Cruise", Imagine Dragons - "Radioactive" and Pink - "Just Give Me A Reason". I've also put the HK sonic glaze on Capital CitiesZeddFall Out BoyAriana GrandeDaft PunkDemi Lovato and more. There's also brand new music from KarminEmbelm3, and Timeflies. So don't miss one beat of this nonstop dance party. Tune in this weekend to hear all your favorite hits re-imagined and remixed together into commercial free music sets!

Remember…if it's hot, if it's new and it makes you wanna move…you're In The Mix with HK™.

ROBIN THICKE IN THE MIX WITH HK



Robin Thicke has the #1 song in the country this week and I recently caught up with him backstage to talk about his journey to the top of the pop charts. That chat and my latest reworking of his song "Blurred Lines" will be featured in this week's show. The hit has come under fire and is taking a lot of heat for being degrading to women. Robin's own comments in a recent interview didn't help matters. What do you think? Is this the price of success or do the claims have merit?

Make sure you catch that interview along with my latest crop of remixes from the musical garden. I've mixed and tossed Macklemore & Ryan Lewis - "Can't Hold Us", Imagine Dragons - "Radioactive", Rihanna - "Stay" and Maroon 5 - "Love Somebody". I'm also putting the sonic HK Miracle Grow to the latest from Capital CitiesAustin MahoneMiley Cyrus and Nikki Williams. There's plenty more musical madness and it's all going down this weekend! All your fave jams in non-stop commercial free music sets back to back and beat to beat!

MOUTHING OFF!



Freedom of speech is wonderful. It's one of the many things that makes this country great and what I'm about to do right now! Computers, the internet and social media have made the megaphone we're all speaking through a billion times bigger. Now that we have this power at our fingertips it's easy for people to have many a mis-step. Especially those that live in the public eye and under close scrutiny. Case in point – politicians, movie stars, music stars etc. From Chris Brownand Justin Bieber tweets to the latest Amanda Bynes meltdowns not a day goes by where someone isn't mouthing off and we all hear about it. This week it was Kanye West, albeit through an old fashioned media channel like the New York Times. But it was the posting of that interview on the internet that sent the blogosphere ablaze! Kanye, who gave a rare interview to the paper as he starts promotion on his new album, referred to himself as the Michael Jordan of the music business and the Steve Jobs of the internet. Kanye has some amazing statistics, including 21 Grammy Awards. That's right, you heard that correctly, bet you didn't know that. But yezzy constantly feels slighted. In his mind he's never gotten credit for the work he's done. What's up with that? I'm curious to hear your opinion. Please let me know!

Now let me mouth off about this week's show. Don't you dare miss it! I'm gonna set your sonic world on fire. This show is HOT!!! All new remixes on your favorite hits and it's all mixed together into one non-stop crazy throwdown. I can't wait for you to hear what I've done to Daft Punk - "Get Lucky", Nikki Williams - "Glowing", Demi Lovato - "Heart Attack" and a bangin' re-imagined version of a classic. I got all your requests for Macklemore & Ryan LewisAvril Lavigne and Selena Gomez so I got you covered. Some special HK tasty treats will be my mashup of Ed Sheeran - "Lego House" with Justin Timberlake - "Mirrors,  plus my new take on Emeli Sande' - "Next To Me", Bruno Mars - "Treasure" and Jennifer Lopez – "Live It Up". There's plenty more so come hang with me in the DJ booth.

Remember…if it's hot, if it's new and it makes you wanna move…you're In The Mix with HK™.
