This, my friends, is how a dance remix should be done. The Duck Sauce duo do their utmost to retain the upbeat vibe of the original, as they swap out the existing disco-retro synths for more head-nodding electro stylings, turning the track from a pop-dance club filler to a more electro-infused effort.
I can’t praise their synth work enough, and it’s what you’d expect from such an accomplished duo. They manage to really bring some diversity and quality to their work here, foregoing the lazy, repetitive remixes found elsewhere in the genre for a more tailored style that adapts and switches the effects surrounding the key melodies appropriately. Not sure if this should really be a remix, as it’s essentially an entirely new song. Fantastic track though, one that’ll spice up any party playlist.

CyHi has really been raising his profile this week! Here he hooks up with the esteemed A-Trak for some hip-hop with an electro twist. Quite an interesting one too, as it has a southern hip-hop sound (CyHi’s ATL roots coming through), and yet doesn’t sound half as bad as the usual fare from that side of hip-hop due to the electro influence. A bit like The Cool Kids, but less lyrical and more dancey.
One of those tracks that warrants a few listens, as your first listen will be a bit disorienting in so much as you won’t quite know if you like it or not. It definitely grows on you though, and I suspect this new ‘fusion’ of styles could end up becoming a bit of a big deal. Maybe not with this track as neither act is ‘pop’ enough, but I can see this being the next big mainstream sound. Record labels: I’ve just done your job better than you did. Again.

What a collaboration/duo of dance DJs! Two of the icons of the dance game get together for Duck Sauce (apparently, they’ve been active as DS since 09, shows what I know!), and seem to have come up trumps with Barbra Streisand.
Undoubtedly set to be a global hit, the infectious track is accompanied by a video absolutely brimming with cameos from huge names in music, from Kanye West to DJ Premier.
Audio can, and should, be collected from here. Will be an absolute monster in clubs.
