Duck Sauce bring disco back

Posted Oct 20, 2009

It was obvious the untimely death of superstar Michel Jackson would mean his disco legacy would witness a form of revival. DJ and producer A-TRAK has teamed up with one of New York’s finest club producers, Armand Van Helden to re-invent disco house for a new generation.

DJ heroes A-Trak and Armand Van Helden have joined forces to create a new heavyweight production tag-team - Duck Sauce. Their first track ‘aNYway’ had a soft release through A-Trak’s Fools Gold label, and grew from an underground club smash into a daytime radio hit. The track is now being released on October 26th courtesy of Data Records, and is reputed to be the biggest dance anthem to come out of New York in years. 

Comparisons have already been made to another respected “daft” duo from Paris, for the single’s positive vibes that ensure even the coolest kid in the room is tempted to dance and sing-a-long. It’s crossover dance music in its finest form.

Moving in similar circles A-Trak and Armand teamed up after a number of chance meetings in New York and with a mutual respect for each others work, melding the spirit of classic disco house with updated production thump and clever new twists. They wanted to create floor fillers, the kind of records they could use at the very peak of their sets, big tracks that were instantly credible and dangerously addictive.
