SIA GETS RICH FROM CHEAP THRILLS

Drake’s One Dance has been camped out as the #1 song on the Billboard Hot 100 chart since May (10 weeks). Sia’s smash hit, Cheap Thrills that features Sean Paul, knocked Drake off the throne with her ode to a low cost night out. Making this the first time Sia has worn the #1 crown as an artist and Paul’s fourth time at the top in more than 10 years. It could have just as easily been Rihanna looking down from the tower. Rihanna’s manager had asked Sia to write another Diamonds. Sia sent Cheap Thrills to the Rihanna camp but they passed on it. Here's where I get to brag and say I told you so (why does that feel so good. LOL!). Over six months ago I wrote a blog about Sia's new album consisting of songs that she wrote for other artists and all had been rejected. I went on to say…their loss would be Sia's gain! And here she is six months later with the #1 song in the country! 

This week I’m putting Sia’s #1 song on In The Mix with HK™ with an exclusive HK remix just for you! I’ll also be upping the watts on hits by Shawn Mendes, Katy Perry, Flume, Fifth Harmony, Coldplay, Twenty One Pilots and so much more! Plus new jams from Major Lazer featuring Justin Bieber and Steve Aoki & Boehm featuring Walk The Moon! I’ve got your weekend party soundtrack all cued up!

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

EXCLUSIVE STEVE AOKI INTERVIEW

Check out my EXCLUSIVE interview with STEVE AOKI. I had a great hang with him and Moxie, who collaborated with Steve on the track I Love It When You Cry. We all got cozy on the Aoki tour bus to cut it up about their new single, the forthcoming Neon Future2 album (coming out in May) and everything from James Brown to the current state of EDM. Along the way we covered some really interesting stuff about life, health and making records for radio!

ECHOSMITH ARE THE "COOL KIDS" ON IN THE MIX WITH HK™

Echosmith, the band comprised of four siblings from Southern California has been tearing up the charts with their platinum selling hit Cool Kids. This week I sit down with Sydney the lead vocalist and brother Noah, bass and vocals, to discuss their new found success and more! At some point during this interview we're gonna find out something we've never known about them before and what they like to do for fun. Promise!

I know what my idea of fun is and that's mixing and remixing the latest hits, some sonic classics and brand new epic groundbreakers for your aural excitement. This weekend I'm breaking fast out of the gate with brand new HK remixes on One Direction – Steal My Girl, Meghan Trainor – Lips Are Movin, David Guetta – Dangerous and Taylor Swift – Shake It Off. I've also got totally re-imagined takes on Mr. Probz – Waves, Milky Chance – Stolen Dance, Hozier – Take Me To Church and of course Echosmith's – Cool Kids. 

When it comes to brand spankin' new music get ready for joints from Vicetone, Waze & Odysey, Steve Aoki & will.i.am, Eden XO and Trey Songz feat. Nicki Minaj.

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