Duck Sauce

Superstar DJs Armand Van Helden and A-Trak make cheeky, feelgood disco-house as Duck Sauce. The duo scored a worldwide hit with the impossibly infectious, Boney M.-sampling party anthem "Barbra Streisand" in 2010, then released their full-length debut, Quack, in 2014. After several years of downtime, Duck Sauce returned in 2020. They made several festival appearances, performing in front of a giant inflatable duck, and released a string of singles, including 2023's "LALALA." Armand Van Helden is one of the most successful artists on the commercial dance scene, having released eight studio albums, a U.K. number one with "You Don't Know Me," and several iconic remixes including Tori Amos' chart-topping "Professional Widow." A-Trak (aka Alain Macklovitch), the younger brother of Chromeo's Dave One and co-founder of Fool's Gold Records, was Kanye West's personal tour DJ and has produced records for Kid Sister and Lupe Fiasco. Van Helden and A-Trak teamed up in New York in 2009 to create a dancefloor-friendly sound that incorporated filtered disco, old-skool hip-hop, funk, electro, and late-'90s French house, and often sampled '70s artists for their debut single, "aNYway," which borrowed the melody from Final Edition's "I Can Do It." Following the release of their Greatest Hits EP, their second single, "Barbra Streisand," which sampled Boney M.'s "Gotta Go Home," became one of the biggest tracks at the Miami Winter Music Conference. Aided by a cameo-heavy video shot in New York City, it became a viral hit and went on to reach number three in the U.K. at the end of 2010. In 2011 they released the single "Big Bad Wolf," which came with a video directed by Keith Schofield featuring the shocking introduction of something called "crotchfaces." The video was nominated that year for an MTV Video Music Award. Music premiered on the duo's Essential Mix for BBC Radio 1 was released as 2013's Duck Tape and the early 2014 EP Duck Droppings. 2014 also saw the release of their debut album, Quack, which reached the Top Ten of Billboard's Dance/Electronic Albums chart. Duck Sauce went on hiatus after the album came out, but A-Trak teased a comeback through social media at the beginning of 2020. The gleeful-as-ever "Smiley Face" appeared the following month, followed by other singles such as the Captain Sensible-sampling "Captain Duck" and "Ask Me." "Put the Sauce on It" appeared in 2022, and the duo performed at the Coachella and Movement Festivals. "LALALA" arrived in 2023.
