I know I’m a little late to properly celebrating this wondrous news but one of my favorite side projects to ever grace the planet, Duck Sauce has resurfaced with a new track and announced a few performances which leads me to believe that there HAS to be an album.

RIGHT!? No one would be that cruel!!

At any rate, “Smiley Face”, is a signature vivacious track from the dynamic duo and features a sample from the 1980 classic “Make Someone Feel Happy Today” from Two Tons O' Fun (who would later go by the name The Weather Girls. Yes, THE WEATHER GIRLS. As in, “It’s Raining Men”. “Hit The Road Jack”, etc. etc.) As previously mentioned, the group has unveiled that they will be performing both weekends at Coachella in addition to a Duck Sauce Block Party in San Francisco on May 9th featuring sets from Chromeo, Yung Bae, The Magician, Nancy Whang, Biscits, and DJ Dials. Not gonna lie, I’m definitely going to be wrapping up this post super quick so I can go look at flights to SF in May.

[Watch] Classixx and Nancy Whang Take a Yacht Cruise in the Video for "All You're Waiting For"

Classixx debut album Hanging Gardens is one of my top so far this year. It has seen heavy rotation wherever I go, and the album's single "All You're Waiting For" is one of the highlights. Featuring LCD Soundsystem's Nancy Whang, the glittering synths and posh lyrics match perfectly with this new video. Whang plays the rich, snobbish owner of yacht, sailing the high seas with martinis in hand. Check it out below.

In related Classixx news, the duo have remixed Australian band The Preatures' track "This Is How You Feel?". They steer away from the upbeat groove of the original, giving the song a glitzy, synthesized sheen. Stream the remix below.
