Duck Sauce Presents: Duck Duck Goose

Busy P has influenced multiple waves of dance music. First, he managed Daft Punk from a very young age, when he also met Armand. Then he founded Ed Banger Records and led the charge of French Electro, when he met A-Trak. The trio reminisce on decades of Franco-American friendships, record collecting, and bringing a hip hop and indie ethos to the dancefloor.

Colombia-born, Massachussetts-based Patricia Brennan is a biology professor who specializes in duck genitalia. A-Trak and Armand are keen to ask her all their questions about ducks, in a hilarious soul-searching episode. She shares some surprising insight on the sexual behavior of our feathered friends.

The Ducks delve into the world of martial arts, interviewing Tokyo-based karate teacher Yusuke Nagano. They explore the philosophy behind karate, share stories about American perception of martial arts in the 70’s and 80’s, and cover historical background of the self-defense discipline.

From producing Afrika Bambaataa’s revolutionary song “Planet Rock” to introducing the 808 drum machine to hip hop and electro, to working with New Order, Hall & Oates and the Pet Shop Boys, Arthur Baker’s imprint on 1980’s dance music is enormous. He talks about growing up in Boston and shares anecdotes about the movie Beat Street and a rare Miles Davis studio session.

Mark Sargent is the most visible personality in the Flat Earth community. He was featured prominently in the documentary Behind The Curve. While Duck Sauce do not believe that the earth is flat, they have a long conversation with Mark and quiz him persistently about his findings.

The greatest hip hop producer of all time, emblematic of the gritty East Coast sound. We talk to DJ Premier about his signature style of sample chops; how he always custom-tailors his beats for the rapper he’s working with, and creates everything on the spot. Armand and Premier reminisce about 90s New York clubs, while A-Trak geeks out over scratching. 

His instagram page @4biddenknowledge has over 1 million followers. Billy Carson is a historian, entrepreneur, inventor, TV host and online personality. If you’re curious about where human civilizations come from, aliens living in the 5th density, mind uploading, Sumerian tablets, the Anunnaki, the Age of Aquarius, and unconditional love, you’ve come to the right place.

Everyone knows the hits but few people know the history. David tells us about his early beginnings as a hip hop, disco and funk DJ. We talk about his days as a promoter in the biggest Paris nightclubs in the mid-90s, where he booked many US DJs and gave early exposure to Daft Punk, Busy P & DJ Falcon before they blew up. Very rare candid conversation with the mega-star.
