In a week monopolized by Porter Robinson, Elon Musk’s first single and the Superbowl, Duck Sauce’s grand return risked to go unnoticed. However there’s no way that A-Trak and Armand Van Helden could slip under my radar, not as long as their debut album Quack is still on heavy rotation in my car. And what a great way to pick back up from where they left off in 2014! After these 6 years, their distinctive formula made of fat kicks, crispy groove, juicy basslines is back in full force, alongside the omipresent infectious disco samples. For the occasion, the two crate digging dons have sampled the 80’s single ‘Make Someone Feel Happy Today’ by Two Tons O’ Fun (the duo is also responsible for the iconic hit ‘It’s Raining Men’ under their alias The Wheater Girls) and the results are, as always, an infectious feel-good dance anthem able to flirt both with purists of the genre as well as with a random Tomorrowland attendee.
With (probably) a new LP on the way this year (Billboard reports they played some IDs during their Holy Ship Wrecked DJ set) and an already booked slot at this year’s Coachella, looks like this 2020 will be the year of the duck.
