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.

MUSIC OF OLYMPIC PROPORTION

Is music influential to bring home the gold in Sochi? Some scientist say “yes” and so do I. You may have seen athletes jamming out just prior to their event or even with their ear buds on during competition. According to research by sports psychologist Peter Terry - music has been shown to improve endurance performance, assisting people to run 18 percent longer. Also when you are doing the same amount of work while listening to music , you use 1-2 percent less Oxygen. Music can help adjust a person’s confidence and mood. YouTube channel ASAP Science says… “Even during competition, music can narrow an athlete’s attention, diverting the athlete’s sensations of fatigue.”

U.S. Gold medalist Jamie Anderson was seen taking out a set of ear buds after her win in the slopestyle event. Snowboarder Seamus O’Connor of Ireland said  “If I forgot my headphones or if my phone died then I’d be really, really upset. It would definitely change my performance if I didn’t have my music”. American Luger Kat Hansen says “Strictly Beyoncé. My girl Bey. She just gets me fierce and I get stoked and I just have to (dance). I have good mojo going on so it’s just how I roll”.

I’ll have your mojo workin’ when you're listening to In The Mix with HK this weekend. I’ll be throwin’ down remixes of Olympic proportions on…….Pharrell Williams - "Happy", One Republic - "Counting Stars", Shakira & Rihanna - "Can't Remember To Forget You" and Miley Cyrus - "Adore You". And that's just part of the first set. It's gonna be like an Olympic Decathlon leaving you in a pool of sweat by the time I get done with the likes of Avicii, Zedd, Passenger, Aloe Blacc, NoNoNo, Katy Perry, One Direction and more!

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