Thievery Corporation is the Washington, D.C., duo of Rob Garza and Eric Hilton, together since 1995 and still the smoothest passport-stamping act in electronic music. Their records drift from dub and reggae to acid jazz, bossa nova and other Brazilian sounds, Indian classical and Middle Eastern music, hip-hop and electronica, all melted down into a downtempo, lounge-lit haze that feels like a late night somewhere warmer than wherever you are.
The Cosmic Game, in 2005, gave them "The Heart's A Lonely Hunter", and "Lebanese Blonde" turned up on Symphonik in 2020. Along the way they've worked with labels including ESL Music and 4AD, with Jeff Franca adding drums to the mix.
