Thievery Corporation - DJ-Kicks

Washington duo Eric Hilton and Rob Garza have inspired a polarised love it/hate it attitude with their (admittedly) unique brand of dope-tinged sleazy listening, and DJ Kicks acts as the perfect vehicle for a set of Eighteenth Street Lounge foundtracks. The pair are more than comfortable with the responsibility, supporting their own mixes with classics from Jazzanova and Rockers Hi-Fi with some ethnic eccentricity courtesy of Up Bustle and Out and self-proclaimed jazz hooligan Rainer Truby, who ruffles the feathers of Bobby Matos' "Guiro Electro." Cheery beats come from the studios of Karminksky Experience and A Forest Mighty Black, while the closing track is an exclusive from the lads themselves in the form of "It Takes A Thief."--Kingsley Marshall
