Washington DC’s Rob Garza and Eric Hilton first met in 1995, after being introduced to each other by a mutual friend. They went on to form The Thievery Corporation. After a string of 12’’ released on Eighteen Street Lounge, they eventually put their first album out in 1998. Sounds From The Thievery Hi-Fi displayed a blend of dub, bossa nova, and chill-out that has since become their trademark. They went on to release two compilation albums. They are now back with their second proper long-player, The Mirror Conspiracy.
Over the last couple of years, they have developed their style, improved considerably their approach to sounds, beats and production, and, mainly, added vocals to their dope music. Garza and Hilton have collaborated with a series of vocalists, each adding flavours to their electronic music, from delicious Brazilian atmosphere, in So Come Voce, to Indian acrobatic melodies in Indra, and French pop in Le Monde or Shadows Of Ourselves. This gives the album a unique multi-cultural feel. Jumping from an ambiance to another, Thievery Corporation create a surprisingly homogeneous, delightful, record.

THE SURFER'S GUIDE TO THIEVERY CORPORATION

4AD
4AD has managed to move quite well with its time. Moving from the New Wave in the eighties to a cool dance sounds at the end of the nineties.

EIGHTEEN STREET LOUNGE
Eighteen Street Lounge is Thievery Corporation's very own record label. The site looks OK, but gets very tiring very quickly due to the space reserved for documents to view of read being so ridiculously small.
