IGGY AZALEA JUMPS FROM CLEANING HOUSES TO CLEANING UP THE CHARTS!


Not that long ago Iggy Azalea was a high school dropout who was cleaning houses full time. Now she is dropping dope raps and spittin’ sick rhymes in the male-dominated world of hip-hop. Iggy is EVERYWHERE  Preforming on the Billboard Music Awards, on every talk show known to man and the most mainstream show of all time: Dancing With The Stars. Just last week Forbes did a piece on her titled Hip Hop Is Run By A White, Blond Australian Women.  Well… there are a LOT of talented women in Hip Hop, one of whom is Nicki Minaj, whose third studio album, incidentally, is set to drop the end of this year. I can’t wait for that one! Anyway...a-ppar-ent-ly  Miss Minaj had a few choice words for Forbes saying : "All Forbes needs to worry about is my finances and when I'm going to be selling Myx Fusions for $250 million". And Nicki wasn’t the only one not lovin’ that headline.  Surprise!!! Forbes changed the title to: Hip Hop’s Unlikely New Star: A White, Blonde, Australian Woman.

This unlikely new star owns the #2 & 3 spot on Billboard’s Hot 100 with Iggy’s own Fancy featuring Charli XCX and Ariana Grande’s Problem which features her Iggyness. I’m getting ready to re-invent both of those tracks with HK remixes that are no Problem and wicked Fancy! I’ll also be stirring up the beats on Jason Derulo – Talk DirtyAmerican Authors – Best Day Of My LifeRixton – Me And My Broken HeartDJ Snake & Lil Jon – Turn Down For What and much much more! 

Tune in this weekend coast to coast and worldwide and don’t turn it down for nothing. It’s an In The Mix With HK™ holiday weekend you don’t want to miss!

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

MUSIC COUPLES = EPIC DROPS AND BREAKS


When you're composing music, epic drops and awesome breaks usually translate to a big sounding track and most likely a hit. It's certainly two very important ingredients in EDM. However, for people who make music it takes on a totally different meaning in their personal life.

This week was a perfect example.Katy Perry and John Mayer went their separate ways yet again. These two have been on and off more than a broken light switch. The thing that makes it seem weirder this time is she was just sporting an engagement ring around Valentine's Day. And, the two have been talking marriage for months. Then there's Rihanna and Drake, another on again off again couple. Apparently their on again if you judge by the on stage "grind-o-matic" they displayed at a recent Drake concert. Another stunner was the announcement Robin Thicke and his long-time wife have split. This after a year of the couple publicly speaking about how much they love one another, in the wake of the "Blurred Lines" video controversy. Of course for those of us in the biz I don't think it was a big surprise about Robin, as his lines have always been blurred.

This week on IN THE MIX WITH HK™ I promise to stay focused and passionate. Something that some of our musical artists are having trouble with. Lock it in all weekend long to to hear the kind of epic drops and awesome breaks that make you want to move.

I'm featuring brand new HK remixes on Cash Cash f/Bebe Rexha - "Take Me Home", American Authors - "Best Day Of My Life", Ellie Goulding - "Burn", One Republic - "Counting Stars" and Shakira f/Rihanna - "Can't Remember To Forget You". Plus thumping new HK takes on NoNoNo - "Pumpin Blood", Bastille - "Pompeii", Passenger - "Let Her Go", A Great Big World - "Say Something" and many many more! 

There's also more of my exclusive interview with Karmin so don't miss a single beat. It's all goin' down this weekend!

SUPER BOWL SUNDAY AND MUSIC!


We all love the game but don’t underestimate the entertainment for heating up the field! First, there’s the singing of the National Anthem. The fun here is the extreme difficulty of the song, and the pressure of over 100 million people watching that one lone vocalist. This year Renne Fleming will take the microphone. Being an acclaimed opera singer, my guess is she'll kill it, but will she top Whitney Houston’s dramatic Super Bowl performance. I can’t wait to find out. 

Next up is the halftime show which can have more unexpected excitement than the first half of the game. Need I mention the Janet Jackson / Justin Timberlake wardrobe malfunction? This year with Bruno Mars at the helm I’m expecting nothing but mega-star talent and class. Then throw in a little Red Hot Chili Peppers to spice things up and we got a Jersey party goin’ down on mid field. Then, right after the game, Prince (no seriously… Prince) is appearing in “New Girl”! You gotta love Super Bowl Sunday!

I’ll give you another reason to love Super Bowl weekend. Hot off the heels from my Grammy Weekend blowout, I'll be making more moves on the decks than the Broncos game book. So do the right thing and kick your Super Bowl weekend into epic party mode with my exclusive remixes on Katy PerryZeddBritney SpearsDemi LovatoPitbullAviciiBeyonceLordeAmerican Authors and more. Much, Much More!

AMERICAN AUTHORS ARE IN THE MIX WITH HK


You know that really catchy song with the hooky banjo riff and great beat and the chorus goes something like "Best Day of My Life". That's it! The one you keep walking around singing but you're not sure who the band is. Well, those four guys are American Authors. They first met attending the most well known and prestigious music school in the country – Berklee College of Music. After five years of pounding it out in Boston under a different name the group moved to Brooklyn, NY and got some serious mojo.

They released their self-titled EP less than five months ago and thanks to some great placements in TV commercials and movie trailers, as well as being embraced by radio early on, the group has exploded on the scene. The guys will be joining me this weekend to talk about their new found success and the journey getting there.

I've also got brand new bodacious beats and killer HK remixes on Pitbull/Ke$ha - "Timber", Avicii - "Brother", A Great Big World - "Say Something" and an amazing take on Bastille - "Pompeii". You may just lose yourself when you hear my exclusive HK eargasms on Demi LovatoLorde, Zedd and Rihanna. Plus brand new joints from Jason DeruloLupe Fiasco f/Ed SheeranZendaya and John Newman.

Like a great hot chocolate on a cold winter night you'll want to tune in this weekend to get every drop!

HOLIDAY STRESS RELIEF!


The holiday season brings many a party but anxiety can also creep in with finals, travel, buying gifts that burn a hole in the pocket and the much talked about and oh so special “Family Stress”. Don't worry though, cause In The Mix with HK is gonna kick that holiday stress to the curb. I mean, we are 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” they go as far to say “Crank up the volume and let your mind be absorbed by the music”.  Oh yeah …I’m gonna be crankin’ up the volume this weekend with an all out sonic assault on your senses.

Look at what I'm putting under the tree for you. Brand new mixes on Avicii-"Hey Brother", Travie McCoy & Jason Mraz-"Rough Water", Ellie Goulding-"Burn" and Lady Gaga & R.Kelly-"Do What U Want". I'm also filling my Santa sleigh with exclusive never before heard versions of Lupe Fiasco & Ed Sheeran-"Old School Love", Imagine Dragons-"Demons", American Authors-"Best Day Of My Life"and Lorde-"Team". My bounty of musical presents is sure to excite when I unwrap the likes of ZeddRihannaEminemBastilleSara Bareilles and more.

Don't miss a single second of my Christmas party this weekend and consider my HK eargasms an early present!
