All I can say about this is “wow”. A-Trak and Armand Van Helden’s new video just might be the most talked about thing on the internet within the next month, and at the time of this posting, it only has 329 views. Just when you think they can’t take it any further, they do. Nice job, gentlemen.

Duck Sauce, the eminent producer duo comprised of A-Trak and Armand Van Helden, are primed to drop their second official single, “Barbra Streisand” on October 12th. If 3 million YouTube views of last year’s debut “aNYway” are any indicator, the official release of “Barbra Streisand” will be met with rabid anticipation as fan-recorded bootlegs have fueled blog excitement all summer.

“Barbra Streisand” continues to perfect the Duck Sauce sound, which joyously mashes classic disco house with forward-thinking dancefloor energy and expert production. A-Trak and AVH are bona fide DJ heroes whose team-ups are fueled by anything-goes samples, an almost childlike sense of fun, and 100% NYC attitude. This approach has made Duck Sauce fans-for-life out of partygoers around the globe, and will continue to convert anyone within earshot of “Barbra”‘s instantly addictive, whistling hook.

For the video, director So Me (Justice, Kid Cudi, MGMT) uses the song to soundtrack a hyperactive, ecstatic New York City travelogue. Shot over a week of long nights out with A-Trak and Armand (including live footage from the Fool’s Gold “Day Off” labor day block party), the clip is a pop-art adventure starring commandeered taxis and hotdog stands, sexy strangers, and a who’s-who of famous friends: rappers, producers, indie rockers, graffiti writers and nightlife icons all take turns adding their own special sauce to the song, turning “Barbra Streisand” into one of this year’s must-rewind clips.

Watch the video and see just how many cameos you can catch, then pick up the “Barbra Streisand” single (featuring striking sleeve art from Fool’s Gold art director Dust La Rock) on October 12th.

New Duck Sauce cut that’s been making noise since Winter Music Conference in Miami finally seeps out. Afrojack played a ridiculous remix of this at XS over Labor Day Weekend.

A-Trak & Armand Van Helden To Release Duck Sauce Toy

Hip-Hop heads may not be up on A-Trak’s recent collaborative project with Armand Van Helden, collectively known as Duck Sauce. The two have been making waves in the club scene with their recent smash “aNYway”. With over 2 million YouTube views, it’s safe to say this is a hit record.

The duo’s next move – not an album – but instead the official rubber duck mascot of Duck Sauce. Manufactured by Celebriducks (a company that we imagine specializes in making celebrity duck toys or something) and designed by Fools’ Gold art director Dust La Rock. The toys will be limited to 1000 pieces and will be available at Turntable Lab and other fine outlets.

I’ve been on this song for a minute, since about the time Guetta’s album dropped, but lately it’s moved to the back of the crates, as it never really induced the level of frantic fist pumping that I was going for. However with Van Helden’s new remix, he takes it to the limit, with ridiculous climaxes sure to set the floor on fire. Can already tell this is way too over the top for the general hip-hop audience, but those open to house will dig.
