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.

CELEB CAMEOS RULE MUSIC VIDEOS

Last month it was Taylor Swift’s Bad Blood music video with her besties. Now Madonna drops the B**** I’m Madonna video with Katy Perry, Beyoncé, Miley Cyrus, Rita Ora, Chris Rock and more. This has been happening since music videos came into existence. Another recent example…Tom Hanks had more camera time than Carly Rae Jepsen in her video. Scarlet Johansson turned it out for Justin Timberlake and Ben Stiller showed up in a P Diddy joint. What’s your fave music video with a killer cameo? My hands down favorite celeb in a music video (it is a serious must see)….wait for it.…Christopher Walken in Fat Boy Slim’s Weapon Of Choice.

I'll be pulling out all my weapons of choice this weekend with EXCLUSIVE HK remixes on Sia, Rachel Platten, Adam Lambert, Calvin Harris, Jason Derulo, Walk The Moon, MKTO and 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™.

BUSTING A GROOVE IS EPIC, BUSTING YOUR BOOTY…NOT SO MUCH!

In the history of concert performances many an artist has had a costume malfunction, missed a cue or didn’t make that high note but nothing is more un-star like than taking a header off the stage or busting you’re a** in front of thousands of fans. Just this week Madonna was pulled backwards down a flight of stairs and ended up on her booty. This made me wonder…how often do artists faceplant? In our great age of YouTube and cellphones it is easy to find out and watch every fascinating second as artists go from hot and sexy to full blown klutz .

Apparently  Iggy Azalea took a tumble off the stage while performing at a benefit concert for MTV. Pink ended a performance and was taken to the hospital for xrays after falling into a barricade due to an improperly secured harness. Ouch! Taylor Swift did a wipeout at a concert in Ottawa while running across the stage. Jennifer Lopez landed on something other than her feet after a jump at the American Music Awards. Rihanna’s high heels were not her friend as she lost her balance and did a slider at a UK concert. Justin Bieber, Lady Gaga, Prince, Drake, Katy Perry, Selena Gomez amazingly the list goes on and on. Thank goodness artist rarely get seriously busted up while preforming and simply go on with the show.

I’m getting’ ready to bust some beats and do some serious damage on the decks this weekend when I throw down custom HK remixes on Maroon 5, Ariana Grande, Mark Ronson, Pitbull, Nick Jonas, Flo Rida, Calvin Harris, Ellie Goulding and MORE!

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

GRAMMY® WEEKEND ON IN THE MIX WITH HK™

This Sunday is music’s biggest night - The 57^th Grammy Awards, and it's goin' down in epic fashion!

Being a long time voting member of the Academy plus a previous Grammy® nominee I take the Grammy Awards very seriously. Record of the Year is a down and dirty fight. The nominees are: Iggy Azalea ft. Charli XCX – Fancy, Sia  – Chandelier, Sam Smith – Stay With Me (Darkchild Version), Taylor Swift – Shake It Off and Meghan Trainor – All About That Bass. What a wicked line up! I say give a statue to all of them! Then there’s the performance list for the show that reads like a who’s who of the music industry with Katy Perry, Beyoncé, Ed Sheeran, Lady Gaga, Kanye West, Madonna and Rihanna all on the roster!  DAMN!  I love Grammy night!

Even better than Grammy night is a Grammy weekend! I'm kicking off mine In The Mix with HK™ with featured brand spankin' new custom HK remixes on nominated artists like Hozier, Meghan Trainor, Sam Smith, Jessie J and Taylor Swift. I’ll also be talking to the band that’s been named one of MTV’s “Artists To Watch For 2015”- Priory. They’ll be givin’ up the goods on how the group and their new hit Weekend came to be. Of course there's plenty more so don't miss a single second!

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

RECORDING ARTISTS STILL BANK BIG BUCKS!

Despite record sales continuing to decline some recording artists are still bringing in big bucks. According to Wealth-X’s net worth valuation Madonna is topping the list with a whopping 800 million dollars. Sir Paul McCartney, who used to be on top, dropped to second place with $660m. Dr. Dre came in 3^rd with a not so shabby $650m. I knew I should have invested in headphones. Diddy came in 4^th with $640m and Celine Dion locked up the top 5 with $630m. In case you were wondering there are no financial issues in the Jay Z / Beyoncé house as they rank #8 and #10 with a combined net worth of $950m. Yeah that’s right practically one billion! That’s just a crazy amount of zeros.

Do you think those estimates are right? Well, don't sweat the fact that you and I have smaller bank accounts. Waaaaaay smaller bank accounts! We'll all be living large and in charge when I fire up the decks this weekend. I'm coming at you with non-stop exclusive HK remixes on Fall Out Boy, Ed Sheeran, Taylor Swift, Charli XCX, Calvin Harris, Jessie J and One Direction. Plus brand new joints from Fifth Harmony, Lillywood & Robin Schulz and Lights.

There's always some special surprises, so tune in!

And the Oscar for Best Original Song Goes To…..

I’ll be glued to the Academy Awards this Sunday night for many reasons, and I’ll also be anxiously waiting to hear the winner of Best Original Song. That bad boy is given to the songwriters who composed the piece specifically for a film. Kind of a bummer for the performer cause they get zippo unless they kicked in on the writing of the lyrics or music. This winning song enhances the movie greatly but isn’t always a commercial success in its own right. Here are a few exceptions that were chart toppers… In 1993 The Boss wrote and composed the “Streets of Philadelphia” for the film “Philadelphia”. That little ditty was not only an Academy Award winner but went on to be a gold single. Then in 1994 “Can You Feel The Love Tonight” from “The Lion King”, Music by Elton John and Lyrics by Tim Rice took the Oscar, topped the Billboard Hot 100 chart at #4 and also went gold.  In 1996 “You Must Love Me” from “Evita” was the big winner. It was #18 on the Billboard Hot 100 and you guessed it - certified gold. Sorry Madonna – “No Oscar for you” (please see the rules regarding performers). Who can forget 1997 “My Heart Will Go On” from “Titanic”? That hit #1 on the Billboard 100 and sold over 500,000 copies. Again, Celine if you want the little gold guy you must write a note or a word. Eminem, Jeff Bass and Luis Resto got it right in 2002 with their infectious tune: “Loose Yourself” from the film “8 Mile”. That lived at the # 1 spot on Billboard and went five (count them 5) times Platinum. Will this year be another winner for a commercial success??? Well if Adele’s luck keeps rolling in the deep, she and her co-writer Paul Epworth could be taking home a little something for their mantel for “Skyfall” from the film “Skyfall”.

You should be glued to In The Mix with HK ™ this weekend when I’ll be tearing up the hot gold, silver and platinum chart toppers just for you. Get ready for my exclusive remixes on Macklemore & Ryan Lewis –"Thriftshop" (I love this track), Maroon 5 - “Daylight” and Kelly Clarkson - “Catch My Breath”. There will be no standing still when you hear my take on Calvin Harris f/Florence Welch - "Sweet Nothing", Alica Keys f/ Nicki Minaj – “Girl On Fire”, Pitbull f/ Christina Aguilera – “Feel this Moment, and Ke$ha – “C’mon”. You won’t believe your ears when you hear what I’ve done to Mumford & Sons – “I Will Wait” and The Script – “Hall of Fame”.

There’s plenty more surprises so tune in this weekend, turn up the volume and rip the knob off. It’s gonna be an all out beat to beat music slam down you don’t wana miss!
