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 music
label (named for their washington, d.c. bar and nightclub) in 1996.
previously known primarily among acid jazz and rare groove djs, the
group shot to minor celebrity when a track from one of their early
12-inches appeared on respected dj/producers kruder d Dorfmeister's
mix session for studio k7's dj kicks series. similar in many
respects (and more than just number) to that viennese production
duo, thievery corporation subsequently grew in popularity among a
wider audience of djs and headphonaunts. their debut full-length
appeared in 1997, along with a compilation of washington, d.c.-based
electronica artists dubbed out in dc (both on 18th street lounge
music). after 4ad signed the duo they began work on their second lp
but were forced to postpone the release date after tapes were stolen
in a mugging. The stopgap remix compilation abductions & reconstruct-
ions was released in 1999
