Vodka Commercial Music
Duck Season, Vol. 3 (Instrumentals)
 This Is The One You Were Looking For., March 21, 2009
Sometimes a little determination goes a long way. I’ll admit that I didn’t even know who Babu was when I started this. I just heard this one song on a Grey Goose Vodka commercial called “Cocktail Party” and I couldn’t get it out of my head. There’s a whole series of those so it took a while to find the right one. Somehow I found DJ Babu and saw him in action on YouTube. Really amazing. He’s a master and his ear for samples is right on. I’ll be his newest fan until you hear it. The Song from the commercial is “Guns Gon’ Blow” but you could previously only find it as a rap tune with lyrics. What I was looking for was the jazzy instrumental. This is it. This is an instrumental version of the hip-hop/rap album and I’ve only seen it as a download here (the link to the “CD Version” goes to the lyrics version, look out.) I like the album but I just bought the one track. I would have bought the whole album but they still demand that you use the downloader application for full albums. It’s not an option for me as my Windows 2000 (which I still prefer) isn’t supported! They refuse to sell an album and let you individually download the tracks. They need to fix that, it shouldn’t be a big deal to do. That aside, this is a nice collection of mostly soulful, downtempo beats, well-selected and presented by my new favorite “Turntablist.” It’s the perfect thing for your rooftop, word of mouth, no guest list, cocktail party. |
