THIS WEEK IN THE MIX WITH HK!

WOW! What a crazy week. Our government continues to fail us, while we continue to pay them. Kanye and Jimmy Kimmel have a very strange face-off and reconciliation…kind of, sort of! My old friend Coolio ("Gangsta's Paradise") hangs out in a London dorm room and cooks and jams for college students after a concert. Bruce Jenner gets out of his marriage and crazy life with the Kardashians. Mariah Carey tweets a picture of her twins, and I'm not talking about her kids, to hubby Nick Cannon and the world to see. Joe Jonas disses Lorde on Twitter and then he and the rest of his brothers cancel their just recently announced concert tour! 

I'm gonna do my best to bring some sanity to a week of craziness by unleashing my musical mayhem this weekend. I've got all your fave hits like you've never heard them before and plenty of exclusive HK remixes and sonic bliss to bring your weekend to frenetic new heights!  Get ready for brand new eargasms on Miley Cyrus - "Wrecking Ball", Awolnation - "Sail", Selena Gomez - "Slow Down", Armin Van Buuren - "This Is What It Feels Like" and Drake- "Hold On We're Going Home". You don't want to miss Pink - "True Love", Sara Bareilles - "Brave" and my re-imagined takes on Rihanna - "What Now" and Lorde - "Royals". Plus Eminem, Avicii, Fifth Harmony, Tegan & Sara and something brand spanking new from Ellie Goulding.

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

I'M GONNA SHUT IT DOWN!

So let me get this right…the people who run our government don't have to go to work cause they can't agree on a spending bill. Yet, when all is said and done – after days and possibly weeks off they'll strike an agreement and pay themselves retroactively. Plus keep those amazing government health plans. Yeah that's right! And it's all paid for by you and me. Wouldn't it be great if you got paid to stay home when you couldn't agree with your co-workers! Wait…that's crazy…and exactly my point. Hmmm, PEOPLE – why do we continue to let this happen. Speak out and contact your politicians.

In protest I'm gonna shut it down this weekend. But don't worry, that's a good thing! I'm gonna "Roar" with my latest remix of Katy Perry. We're gonna feel like "Royals" with Lorde and we'll console each other about our "Summertime Sadness" and impending "Sweater Weather". I'm hoping to make us all feel a little bit "Closer" and "I Wish" I could keep it going "All Night". There will be a point in the evening where you'll say to yourself "What Now" HK. Don't worry you're not going "Berzerk". The "Demons" in Washington will get this resolved and once again all will be "Safe and Sound".

So tune in this weekend and find out what all the "Applause" is about.

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

ICONA POP IN THE MIX WITH HK "ALL NIGHT"

Through the years Sweden has provided the world with a lot of great pop dance music. In fact two of the countries current hottest exports are blazing a trail up the american music charts as we speak -  Avicii and Icona Pop.

Icona Pop is currently on tour in America and I had the pleasure of checking out their show as well as hanging with the girls (Caroline and Aino). After being dumped and heartbroken these gals found each other through a mutual friend and in just 24 hours over a bottle of wine and a laptop their first song was written. "I Love It" was one of this year's anthems and "All Night" is poised to follow in it's footsteps. Their live show is fantastic, get out and see them. In the meantime, make sure you're listening this weekend when I'll be talking with Icona Pop and featuring my latest reworking of their song.

In addition to the sweet duo from Sweden I'm bringing the boombastic beat of Eminem's new one "Berzerk". Plus killer new remixes on Katy Perry's - "Roar", Awolnation - "Sail", Lady Gaga - "Applause" and Tegan & Sara - "Closer". My sonic pleasure knows no bounds when I take the brand spankin' new Britney Spears single "Work Bitch" and work the s**t out of it. Plus Lorde, Miley, Avicii, Mack & Ryan, Krewella, Enrique Iglesias and more!

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

KE$HA AND MIKE POSNER GET CRAZY!

Ke$ha is currently on tour promoting her second studio album Warrior and with all the hits this crazy kid has put out you know I needed to check it out. All the open sexuality and craziness that follows Ke$ha everywhere was certainly present on stage along with a full band, dancers and the perfect blend of sonic and visual mayhem. Oh, and let's not forget a sold out crowd adorned with glitter, face paint and head bands. Imagine the 60's hippie movement colliding with the pop EDM world and that's what you get at a Ke$ha show. Mike Posner opened up for her and primed the crowd with his own hits - "Cooler Than Me", "Bow Chicka Wow Wow", "Please Don't Go" and the monster Justin Bieber hit "Boyfriend". For those who don't know, Mike wrote that monster hit for Justin! This was without a doubt the best show I've seen in this size venue. I went expecting a more scaled down version of the tour but that was not the case. Even before walking in I saw four tour buses and three semi's and thought…this is gonna be crazy!

That craziness and sonic mayhem continues this weekend In The Mix with HK. With Labor Day Weekend around the corner and State Fairs popping up like weeds, the pressure was on to lock myself in the lab and crank out a bevy of new eargasms for my listeners. You better fasten your seat belts cause I've got the brand new Katy Perry - "Roar", a hot extended remix on Lady Gaga's - "Applause", and a new spin on Avicci's country EDM smoker that's guaranteed to "Wake Me Up". One Direction's Movie is about to open and I've opened up their current single "Best Song Ever". The party wouldn't be complete without new joints from Robin Thicke, Justin Timberlake, Paramore, Tegan & Sara, Emblem 3 and Capital Cities. So no matter where you are this weekend, pump up the volume and get In The Mix with HK.

FAMILY AND MUSIC!

This week I have family from out of town visiting with me. We all went to see The Package Tour together and while there, they got to share in the whole pre-show backstage and post show tour bus excitement. They got to watch and learn while I was doing an interview and they were blown away when they saw how much work goes into producing and remixing all the songs played each week. These personal family music experiences made me think about musical families in the biz. For instance, going way back you had the Osmond Family, the Jackson Family and Sonny & Cher (husband & wife). Christina Aguilera was married to her label A&R Executive, Jessica & Ashlee Simpson were managed by their father,Beyonce' was managed by her dad and all her fashions were designed by her mom. Miley Cyrus was first introduced to the world by her than successful dad Billy Ray. Taylor Swift's family uprooted their whole life to move to Nashville just so she could pursue her dreams and Bruno Mars musical genius comes from performing at a young age with a very musical family. I know these examples are just the tip of the iceberg but when my family is hanging out in the studio with me this weekend, I'll be thinking of all these people and the power of family and music!

Come play in my sonic sandbox In The Mix with HK! I'm bringing the summer heat with brand new HK remixes on Fifth Harmony - "Miss Movin' On", David Guetta/Ne-Yo/Akon - "Play Hard",Macklemore & Ryan Lewis - "Can't Hold Us" and the latest thumper from Britney Spears - "Ooh La La". I've also got the scintillating Lana Del Rey - "Summertime Sadness", Tegan & Sara - "Closer", Bruno Mars - "Treasure" and Austin Mahone - "What About Love". There's gonna be more audio excitement with my re-imagined mixes on Miley Cyrus, Karmin, Florida-Georgia Line, Bonnie McKee, Capital Cities, Paramore and more!
