The Grammy-nominated and Platinum-certified duo Armand Van Helden & A-Trak return to D4 D4NCE as Duck Sauce with two-track package ‘Clap Your Feet / 2 Da Face’. The release follows the announcement of the chart-topping duo’s multi-single deal with the London house label, which began in late 2023 with the eccentric, Eurodance-inspired earworm ‘LALALA’. This follow-up further solidifies Duck Sauce’s unmistakeable and quirky club sound, with both tracks combining absurdist lyrics with the unbridled energy and impeccable house production we have come to expect from these two titans. The lead, ‘Clap Your Feet’, is brimming with 90s nostalgia and unrelenting high energy breakdowns, featuring animated vocals from Chicago’s underground house hero Fuzzy Cufflinxxx (aka Bear Who? from DJ Sneak’s crossover hit ‘Fix My Sink’), while ‘2 Da Face’ possesses underground power with syncopated rhythms destined to fill dancefloors globally.

known on the Dark Web as A-Trak and the diplomatic passport holding, hostage negotiation expert Armand Van Helden. Over the last eleven years, they’ve attempted to distill the ducks’ discoveries to the tune of the kickdrum. They called this project Duck Sauce....more
