Thievery Corporation is an American electronic music duo formed by Rob Garza and Eric Hilton in 1995. Their music blends various genres, including dub, acid jazz, reggae, Indian classical, Middle Eastern music, hip hop, electronica, and Brazilian music, particularly bossa nova. Garza and Hilton met in May 1995 at the Eighteenth Street Lounge in Washington DC, where a mutual friend introduced them. They bonded over their admiration for Antonio Carlos Jobim and '60s-'70s bossa nova and jazz. Shortly after, they began creating music in a home studio, leading to the formation of Thievery Corporation. After releasing several early 12" singles, they launched their first LP, "Sounds From the Thievery Hi-Fi," on ESL Music.
