The world has been dying for some new Duck Sauce, and while "It's You" and the various remixes that have accompanied it's release earlier this year have been great, the two DJ's dropped off their Essential Mix to BBC, and finally gave funk fans something to soak in.
If you didn't already know, Duck Sauce is a collaborative effort from the legendary Armand Van Helden and Alain Macklovitch, also known as A-Trak. They've been spinning their own version of nu-disco since 2009, and scored massively with "Barbra Streisand." They fell silent in 2012 and the beginning of 2013, and came back with "It's You" only a few months back. Since then, they've been all over the world promoting their evolved sound, although it wasn't until this weekend that they have shown us more of what we can expect on their album.
Their next big show is at HOLY SHIP! next year, where the two will perform as both a duo and a solo act. Their album, Quack, is slated for a 2014 release. Tracklisting for the essential mix is below.
