Biography

Thievery Corporation make abstract instrumental midtempo dance music somewhere between trip-hop and acid jazz. The production duo of Rob Garza and Eric Hilton, Thievery Corporation released a few warmly received singles on their own Eighteenth Street Lounge (ESL) label in 1996. The group achieved minor celebrity when a track from one of its early 12" releases appeared on respected DJ/producers Kruder & Dorfmeister's mix session for Studio K7's DJ-Kicks series. Similar in many respects (and more than just in number) to that Viennese production duo, Thievery Corporation subsequently grew in popularity among a wider audience of DJs and headphonaunts. ~ Sean Cooper
