Thievery Corporation, the groundbreaking duo from Washington founded in 1995 by Rob Garza and Eric Hilton, have been a mainstay of electronic music for decades. Starting from their deep love for Brazilian music and inspired by the DIY philosophy of their city’s punk scene, they created early on the right conditions to maintain their artistic independence intact for thirty full years.
With an extensive array of influences ranging from dub and reggae to jazz, bossa nova, hip hop and Middle Eastern music, Thievery Corporation not only evolved into one of the most successful acts in their field, but also defined the downtempo/trip hop scene with their innovative productions and outstanding songs. From the classic “Sounds From The Thievery Hi-Fi” (1996) and “Mirror Conspiracy” (2000), to “The Richest Man In Babylon” (2002) and “The Cosmic Game” (2005) featuring Flaming Lips and David Byrne, as well as the more recent “The Temple of I & I” (2017) and “Treasures From the Temple” (2018), the duo has created one of the most esteemed catalogs of their era.
