IN THE MIX WITH HK TO THE MAX!

If you aren’t familiar with MAX you soon will be. Max Schneider, known professionally in music as MAX, is a talented pop-soul crooner, musician, songwriter, dancer and actor. Seriously is there anything this guy doesn’t do? MAX has been named MTV’s Artist to Watch, had a supporting role in this summer’s Brian Wilson bio pic, Love & Mercy and has over 1 million followers on YouTube. His new single, Gibberish featuring Hoodie Allen, with its groundbreaking music video scored over 4.5 million views in just one week and over 6 million plays on Spotify. This week I sit down with MAX to discuss his new single, it’s wicked music video and his upcoming album.

In addition to my live remix on Gibberish this weekend, I've got a Halloween party packed lineup of exclusive HK remixes on…Alessia Cara, Hailee Steinfeld, Drake, DNCE, Justin Bieber, Nick Jonas and more. Plus brand new floor stompers from Conrad Sewell, Romans, Ellie Goulding and other Tricks & Treats! And of course…my Pick To Hit™.

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

HK PARTICIPATES IN GRAMMY® ADVOCACY AND YOU SHOULD TOO!

The Recording Academy’s mission is to advance artistic and technical excellence, work to ensure a vital and free creative environment, and act as an advocate on behalf of music and its makers. As a voting member of the Recording Academy I visited Congressman Erik Paulsen's office as part of a nationwide campaign to advocate for the rights of songwriters, performers and studio professionals. We all love music and want songwriters and artists to be able to pay their bills, support  their families and continue to do the work they and we love. Too many cannot because they are being short changed by new and old technology companies. At this time music licensing is governed by a patchwork of laws that don’t reflect the evolving digital market place and results in creators receiving below-market compensation. It’s time to fix music licensing so that all music creators are paid fairly. Please go to https://www.grammy.org/recording-academy/advocacy/issues for more info.

In the meantime…I’ve got your fave beats lovingly, composed, recorded, mixed and mastered by my fellow artistes all locked & loaded for you this weekend! I’ll be laying down EXCLUSIVE HK remixes on Maroon 5, Nick Jonas, 5 Seconds of Summer, Justin Bieber, Demi Lovato and more! Plus hot new jams from Bomba Estereo feat. Will Smith, One DirectionShaggy feat. Pitbull and a few more surprises.

CHECK OUT MIZGIN!

No, Mizgin is not a new wicked distilled spirt for feminists. Mizgin is a hot female Swedish artist with an intoxicating voice. The video of her promotional single Get You Off spent twelve weeks in the Top 20 of MTV’s Most Popular Music Videos. This Femme Fatal may not be a star in the US yet but she’s been turning heads and blowing up stages around the globe. Mizgin is confident and driven saying, “The only thing that is endless in life is your imagination, so never be afraid to use it and believe in it. If you want something, go get it; no one is going to get it for you. You may get help along the way, but the only one that can truly take you where you want to go is you”.  This lady appears to be on her way. Her official debut single If I Said I’m I Love (Suicide) is this week’s Pick To Hit™ on In The Mix with HK™.

Speaking of love… I love a good party and I’ve got a great one on tap for you this weekend. I’m gonna be burning up the decks with custom HK remixes on X Ambassadors, Taylor Swift, One Direction, Jess Glynne, Selena Gomez and more! Plus hot new music from Shaggy feat. Pitbull, Conrad Sewell and Carly Rae Jepsen. You can always count on some surprises too including re-imagined sonic workings on Queen, Blackstreet and Toto

BIG ALBUMS ABOUT TO DROP!

It’s my favorite time of the year or as I like to call it… Big Album Droppin’ Season! Yes, killer albums are about to drop. Selena Gomez's second solo album Revival is splashing down this Friday! Her ex, you know, that guy Justin Bieber. He has one presumably entitled Purpose (based on his latest tat) that drops the same day as One Direction’ s fifth album Made In The AM on November 13th. Not sure that having the same release date is such a good marketing idea. The Biebes sure doesn’t like it, saying the only reason that 1D chose that date was to bring them publicity. On November 20th Adele’s much anticipated sophomore album 25 will be on the shelves. Hopefully soon after, and most likely prior to the Christmas buying season, Rihanna will deliver her eighth studio album called Anti. The anticipation is too much!!! I suggest we shower ourselves with current hits till these babies are in our hands.

With that in mind tune in this weekend to hear my EXCLUSIVE remixes on Nick Jonas, 1D, Selena Gomez, Macklemore & Ryan Lewis, Audien and Demi Lovato. Plus brand new bangers from Skrillex-Diplo-AlunaGeorge, Rudimental & Ed Sheeran, Romans and DNCE. Trust me, there's even more to go around so let me be the soundtrack to your weekend party!
