Washington, D.C. (1995 – present)

Thievery Corporation is a Washington, D.C.-based recording artist and DJ duo consisting of Rob Garza and Eric Hilton and their supporting artists. Their music style mixes elements of , , and (such as ) with a aesthetic.

Thievery Corporation is on the Eighteenth Street Lounge record label named after the DC club owned by Eric Hilton, but several of their singles and EP’s appear on the 4AD and !K7 labels.

Formed in the summer of 1995 at D.C.’s Eighteenth Street Lounge. Rob Garza and Lounge co-owner Eric Hilton bonded over club life, dub, bossa nova and records, then decided to see what would come of mixing all these in a recording studio. From this, the duo was born and their self started label Eighteenth Street Lounge Music began to emerge on an international level.

The duo caught the ears of underground DJ’s with their first two 12” offerings, Shaolin Satellite and 2001: A Spliff Odyssey. Their 1997 debut LP, Sounds From the Thievery Hi-Fi began to both define a new genre of electronic music and connect with an international community of like-minded souls. Though the terminology has varied (, , left field and a myriad of other permutations), they have maintained their unique musical standards for the duration of their popularity.

    This band is the epitome of cool. Coolest band ever? Most likely. Watch the video for Lebanese Blonde. Chill as fuck. Kind of like walking into a high end designer store but a lot, lot, lot less gay.
