With the recent release of their new album, Sound the Alarm, Thievery Corporation continues its domination of ambient dub. This is the third track from that album.

Thievery Corporation is a Washington DC based DJ duo of Eric Hilton and Rob Garza. They are co-owners of the 18th Street Lounge in DC, where Thievery got its start back in 1995 over strong drinks and while listening to a mix of jazz and world records.

See them in concert, and you’ll be talking about it for days. They travel the world with a full orchestra, two drummers, horns, plus other instruments, and they feature a revolving door of singers and MCs, so there’s constantly someone new with a mic amping up the crowd. Eric and Rob stand in the back, mixing it all together.

I’m not convinced that they do anything back there, but the resulting sound is perfect, so whatever they’re doing, they’re doing it right.

Thievery Corporation is bringing their traveling orchestra to San Francisco on New Years.
