TAYLOR SWIFT CAN'T SHAKE OFF SUCCESS!

There is success and then there’s “Taylor Swift Success”. At a time when album sales are way way down, her new album, 1989, sold over one million copies in its first week of release. To put it in perspective, that is two copies being sold every second!  Making it the biggest album released in 2014. In fact no other single artist album has gone platinum all…year...long, not  even Beyoncé’s secret album or Lord’s Pure Heroine.  And Taylor did it in just a week!!! Hmmmm… I wonder who last rang up that cray zay amount of sales in a mere seven days??? Oh yeah, the last artist to sell one million albums in one week was… what’s her name again… that would be Taylor Swift with her Red album in 2012!!!! Actually it’s a hat trick. Her 2010 album Speak Now also went platinum in a week. Making Ms. Swift the only act EVER to have three albums sell a million copies in a weeks’ time!

Well, so much for feeling good about what I did last week. I guess I'm just gonna have to Shake It Off. That’s right, I’m comin’ in hot this weekend with custom HK remixes on Taylor, Jessie J + company, Calvin Harris, Gwen Stefani, Maroon 5, Nick Jonas, Alesso, Echosmith and a list to long to name here! Plus brand new bangers from David Guetta, Charli XCX, Ella Henderson, Naughty Boy, R3hab + more!.

Remember…if it's hot, if it's new and it makes you wanna move…you're IN THE MIX WITH HK™.

CHANCES ARE SAM SMITH WILL "STAY WITH" US FOR A WHILE

Sam Smith's hit single Stay with Me is number 10 on the Billboard Hot 100. That one event would be a career high point for a new artist, but Sam is also the featured artist on Disclosure’sLatch and Naughty Boy’s La La La. Both of which are currently on the Hot 100 as well. That's three tracks blowing up the chart and airwaves, plus Sam’s first album In The Lonely Hour just dropped this week …not bad for a 22 year old who was relatively unknown a short time ago. With all this new found success you’d think the young  Brit might take a holiday, but Sam recently tweeted that he’s already working on his sophomore album. Right now I'm working on vicious HK remixes of Sam’s current tracks!

This weekend I’ve got Sam Smith and all your fave hits like you’ve never heard them before, back 2 back and beat 2 beat! Get ready for a power surge of custom HK remixes when I slay the decks with Ariana Grande featuring Iggy Azalea’s Problems, Ed Sheeran – Sing, Paramore – Ain’t It Fun, Katy Perry – Birthday and Nico & Vinz – Am I Wrong. I know I’m not wrong when I tell you that’s just tapping the keg!  So whatever you do, don’t miss a sonic second of In The Mix with HK™ this weekend!

EDM HAS OFFICIALLY TAKEN OVER THE WORLD

If there was any doubt in your mind about EDM taking over the world, look no further. Disney’s announcement that they are releasing an album called “Deconstructed” is proof that all things related to DJ and Remix culture has now reached the tipping point.

Have you ever listened to Idina Menzel perform “Let It Go” from Frozen and thought…man, I’d like to rave out to that. Well your wish has come true. Armin van Buuren has just completed a remix on the track. His remix is just one of more than 12 tracks Walt Disney Records commissioned for the compilation album. Many Disney classics are also included and masters such as Mat Zo, Avicii, Daft Punk, Axwell, Sebastian Ingrosso, BT, Stonebridge and Kaskade have put their touch on them.

I’m putting my sonic HK fingerprint on everything I touch this weekend. So tune in to hear totally re-imagined versions of all your favorite hits. Your speakers will be bumpin’ to the sounds of Aloe Blacc, Jason Derulo, NoNoNo, Bruno Mars, Cash Cash, Naughty Boy, One Direction and more. And whatever you do, don’t miss a single beat cause I’m planning on taking Pharrell Williams, Shakira, One Republic, Zedd, Avicii and Martin Garrix to a whole new level.
