Thievery Corporation is made up of two brilliant DJs: Eric Hilton and Rob Garza.
They have gained critical acclaim form magazines. Urb raves "Aptly named, this
studio duo uses the sampler as a weapon, holding hostage the sly secret sounds
of action movies, MC's and ambient tracks". CMJ praises "Thievery Corporation
will leave you speechless (if not breathless)." XLR8R says "Simply Yummy".
Thievery Corp. continue to make DJ top 10 lists. For better or for worse, they are
still generally unknown nationwide and have remained an underground favorite of
DC.

The group's debut album is entitled "Sounds from the Thievery Hi-Fi", a very
relaxing but never drowsy album. There is nothing predictable about the album
except that you know there will be excellent sampling work and truntable tricks
where appropriate. For all those who did not quite enjoy DJ Shadow's "Endtroducing..." this is THE
album for you. An absolutely mind-blowing album that transcends hip-hop or trip-hop and is truly music
for the soul. They made the top 10 of Sean McCarthy's list on Daily Vault.

The album is on Eighteenth Street Lounge Records.
