Owl City - Final Night of World Tour

Owl City and opening act Mat Kearny ended thier world tour last night in St. Paul, MN at Roy Wilkins Auditorium. It was a fitting end for Owl City's Adam Young who has spent the last year and a half trotting around the globe in support of his debut album Ocean Eyes and his just released new album All Things Bright and Beautiful. The track "Fireflies" off his debut album has gone quadruple platinum and hit number 1 in 27 different countries. When released last month... All Things Bright and Beautiful debuted at #6 on the Billboard Top 200 chart.
 
Kearney's latest album, Young Love, is set to be released in just days and the first single, "Hey Mama" is already heating up the airwaves this summer.
 
I'll have my exclusive interview with Owl City next week on In The Mix With HK. Until then...enjoy these photos from last nights tour finale.


















This Week On In The Mix With HK

What happens when you take a mega pop female country star and the latest mega male pop singer/songwriter/producer? You get a colaboration between Taylor Swift and Bruno Mars. Word is the young Miss Swift is hot  to work with the Hawian Hunk.

Speaking of killer hot artistic collaborations...You have got to see the new adventurous music video "All Is Not Lost" put together by Ok Go and Pilobolus. If your using Google Chrome as your internet browser click on the following link http://goo.gl/p6RTQ to see the special In The Mix With HK version of the video.

Coming up on In The Mix With HK I've got a slammin' remix of Bruno's "Lazy Song" complete with a new hip-hop beat and a little cutting and slicing. Wait to you hear Hot Chelle Rae's "Tongiht Tonight" - this time taking an uptempo approach with a whole new vibe. And I'm gonna breath some new life into Beyonce's "Best Thing I've Never Had".  I promise it may be the best version you'll ever hear.

I've also got the latest from David Guetta..."Where Them Girls At"the brand spanking new jam from Pitbull & Mark Anthony entitled "Rain Over Me", a mindblowing remix on Martin Solveig and Dragonette's "Hello", and a brand new reworking of Rihanna's "California King Bed". Speaking of Rihanna (aren't we always) she just passed over Lady Gaga to become the most liked female musician on Facebook. Just a few more likes and she'll take the number one spot still held by Eminem

I'll be hangin' with Owl City this weekend as they close thier US Tour and I'll have a special exclusive interview for next week. Remember…”If it’s hot, if it’s new and it makes you wanna move – you’re In The Mix with HK”™.

This Week On In The Mix With HK

Katy Perry and Adele both continue their quest for world domination by cinching up the most MTV VMA noms. And they certianly have been dominating my time on the decks and in the studio.
 
Coming up on In The Mix With HK I've got a killer reworking of Katy's "Last Friday Night", Jason Derulo's dance floor anthem "Don't Wanna Go Home"  and I"m gonna blow your mind with what's been done to Coldplay's "Every Teardrop Is a Waterfall". And I know it doesn't seem possible...but YES...I've got an all new smokin' hot remix on Adele's "Rolling In The Deep". This one comes down in tempo and has got a bangin groove with some great turntableisam
 
I've also got the latest from everyone's favorite Pussycat Doll - Nicole Scherzinger..."Right There"Avril Lavgine's "Smile" and you'll have to bust out some new moves when you hear this pumped up and fortified version of "Stereo Hearts" by the Gym Class Hereos w/Adam Levine. What you MUST NOT MISS is the opening of the show and my Charlie Sheen inspired transistion from LMFAO's "Party Rock Anthem" to "Don't Stop The Party" by The Black Eyed Peas    . Charlie's back baby! He's got a new tv sitcom and he's In The Mix With HK.
 
That’s just a taste… I can’t reveal all, so you’ll just have to tune in and come with me behind the velvet rope. Remember…”If it’s hot, if it’s new and it makes you wanna move – you’re In The Mix with HK”™.
