Product Description
From Amazon.co.uk
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
Un Essentiel amazon.fr
Consacrés par la scène downtempo grâce à leur album Sounds Of The Thievery Hi-Fi, Eric Hilton et Rob Garza sont les dignes héritiers d'un trip-hop "lounge" dans la veine de Rockers Hi-Fi et Kruder & Dorfmeister. Le duo de Washington DC nous régale ici d'une admirable sélection pour la prestigieuse série DJ Kicks. Leur mix démarre en douceur sur le fameux "Tropicando" de Les Baker, décolle sur le dub symphonique de Forest Mighty Black, avant de faire escale au Brésil au rythme d'une bossa signée Da Lata, Bobby Matos ou Jazzanova. La vibe orientale n'est pas en reste, les tablas et cithares se jouant du tempo languissant de DJ Cam, Fun-Da-Mental et Indian Vibes. C'est avec ce genre de mixes qu'on saisit vraiment la propension que possède la (bonne) musique à nous faire voyager sans décoller du canapé. Et si tout allait pour le mieux avec la meilleure des world ? --Stéphanie Lopez

More class grooves...,
By nicjaytee (London) - See all my reviews
This review is from: Dj Kicks (Audio CD)
Like their Austrian peers, Kruder & Dorfmeister, Thievery Corporation know how to mix and, like K&D, their "DJ Kicks" album is a class act in both its production and its selection of tracks. More down-tempo than K&D's offering but equally interesting in its sequencing, it scans a broader palette of styles from bossa-nova, through Indian sitars to deep Jamaican dub. Sounds like a disaster waiting to happen?... well, not here, because in these guys' hands each track is integrated seamlessly into an hour long musical journey that's held together by lock-tight beats and overlays. Genuinely interesting and perfectly crafted it's another example of just how good "laid-back" club music can be in the hands of people who know what's out there and how it should be delivered.

This is an outstanding album...,
By Robert Serafini (Cambridge, MA, USA) - See all my reviews
This review is from: Dj Kicks (Audio CD)
...of fascinating mixes. I like their own work but find it occasionally repetitive - the reggae riffs in particular. But this album enchants with brilliant elaborations. I've had it for two years and haven't tired of it yet. Along with Kruder & Dorfmeister's mixes (including a great DJKicks contribution) - and the Byrne/Eno collaboration in My Life in the Bush of Ghosts - and many of the cuts in the Verve Remixed series - and some of DJShadow - Thievery's mix albums represent some of the most interesting pop/jazz/electronic music.

This review is from: Dj Kicks (Audio CD)
Thievery Corp. does it again. A powerful compilation of extraordinairy sound. These DJ kicks albums always sound so damn good within the genre of the artist.
