Duck Sauce

Duck Sauce is an American-Canadian DJ duo consisting of Armand Van Helden and A-Trak. The duo are signed to Fool's Gold Records.[1]

History

The pair aim to produce disco house tracks that will appeal to club DJs. [1]

Their first tracks are "aNYway" and "You're Nasty". Their EP, Greatest Hits, was released September 2009.[1] The track "aNYway" has capital letters to signify the band's origins in New York. The song is sampled from "I Can Do It" by Final Edition.

In the summer of 2010, Duck Sauce released a track "Barbra Streisand", named for the singer of the same name. The track heavily samples Gotta Go Home by Boney M, which is based upon the original tune Hallo Bimmelbahn by the German band Nighttrain. "Barbra Streisand" was first played at Miami Winter Music Conference 2010, and is getting heavy DJ and radio support in the UK and Ireland, Poland (Polskie Radio 4), France, Australia, New Zealand, South Africa and Sri Lanka (Yes FM and Kiss FM). In Australia, "Barbra Streisand" was first heard on the radio station Triple J while in New Zealand it made its debut on Auckland student radio station 95bFM. The song has since also moved to various commercial radio stations and has increased in popularity. It reached Number 1 on the ARIA Club Chart as of 12 September 2010. For Billboard magazine week ending December 18, 2010, the song reached the #1 position on the Dance/Club Play Songs chart. [2] [3]
