This weekend I’m mixing BTS’s global smash with the #1 song in the country; Mariah Carey’s All I Want For Christmas is You.

HARRY STYLES IS GOLDEN


Harry Styles
 latest track Golden is cruising up the charts. Harry said his favorite memory from making his current album was the day they wrote Golden. Saying – We were all sitting in the kitchen at (Rick Rubin's recording studio in Malibu) Shangri La, having dinner, and we played it on one guitar while everyone sang around the table. He went on to say, “I used to drive to the studio, and it’s the perfect Pacific Coast Highway song. It’s like driving down the coast is what the song is for.”

 

Golden also feels like it was made to be remixed by yours truly and then mixed into a serious party soundtrack just for you. This weekend I’m hitting you up with custom HK remixes on hits from Ariana GrandeBebe Rexha & Doja CatSam SmithJason Derulo24K GoldnInternet MoneyJoel Corry & MNEK.

IN THE MIX WITH HK™ = HOLIDAY STRESS RELIEF


The holiday season is filled with joy and wonder but… it can sometimes be stressful too. And this year, with life on the Covid coaster, holidays are more complicated on soooo many levels. Don't worry though, cause In The Mix with HK™ is gonna kick that holiday stress to the curb. I mean, we’re here for YOU and the experts have our back. Mayo Clinic says, in their “Tips To Tame Stress”, that “listening to music is a good stress reliever because it provides a mental distraction, reduces muscle tension and decreases stress hormones”.

Look at what I'm putting under the tree for you - Brand new exclusive HK remixes on hits from Justin Bieber, BTS24KGoldn, Drake, AJR, Tate McRae, Gabby Barrett and Charlie Puth. I'm also filling my Santa sleigh with merry mashups, classic jams and new beats from Lil Nas XMiley Cyrus and Dua Lipa.

Golden Landis Von Jones
 better known as 24KGoldn has reason to celebrate. On Friday he turns 20 and his track Mood, featuring Iann Dior is the #1 song in the country…again. But Goldn almost didn’t pursue music. As a child he did commercial acting and was in LunchablesHonda and Blue Diamond Almond commercials. Then Goldn was studying finance and loving campus life at USC . He says “Before I realized I could do music professionally, my whole plan was to become a hedge fund manager. Thank God I didn’t do that.”  We’re all glad Goldn took the singer, rapper, songwriter road. 

 

This weekend I’m takin’ the road to party town with a custom HK remix on 24KGoldn’s #1 track plus hits from Gabby Barrett with Charlie PuthAJRMachine Gun Kelly & BlackbearSam SmithJason DeruloWhy Don’t WeJustin Bieber and Marshmello.

18 year old German singer-songwriter Zoe Wees has a hit with her very first single Control. Although the deeply emotional track is relatable to anyone who’s ever struggled with feelings of not being in control, Zoe penned the track specifically about her prolonged struggle with rolandic childhood epilepsy. Wees says: “Today I see Control as the best way to leave my past behind and writing this song was the best therapy I could have done to deal with my past.”  “The sickness was stronger than me, and left scars that have become part of my life. Accepting them has taken so much time, but they make me what I am today – a fighter.”

 

The power of music and the human spirt never ceases to amaze me. This weekend I’m packing powerful music to bring the party to your weekend!
