The origin of Thievery Corporation can be traced back to the summer of 1995 when Rob Garza and Eric Hilton met at the now-infamous Eighteenth Street Lounge club in Washington, D.C. USA.

The pair began develop a distinctive new genre in electronic music blending Trip-Hop and Downtempo with Dub, Bossa Nova and Jazz; in early 1997 was released the first album, "Sounds From The Thievery Hi-Fi", which collected their first four singles.
"The Mirror Conspiracy" followed three years later, it contained the seminal international hit, "Lebanese Blonde".
Assembling a compilation of Brazilian Pop-tunes as well as Acid-Jazz tracks, in January 2001 Thievery Corporation released its third full-length disc, "Sounds From The Verve Hi-Fi", the set cracked the top 3 of the Billboard Magazine's Top Jazz Albums list.
Nearly two years later Garza and Hilton delivered their proper third album, "The Richest Man In Babylon" which hit #1 on Billboard's Top Heatseekers and peaked at #9 on the Top Independent Albums charts.
June 2004 saw the release of another mix-album, "The Outernational Sound", which debuted at #20 on Billboard's Top Independent list.

Thievery Corporation returned in mid-2005 with "The Cosmic Game", a chock full of the wide-ranging spectrum of sounds: Rock, Chill Out, future-bossa, Dub as well as high profile collaborations with former Jane's Addiction frontman Perry Farrell, The Flaming Lips and David Byrne; the first radio single off of the CD is "Revolution Solution", an intriguing blend of Thievery Corporation's groove sensibilities and Perry Farrell's distinct vocal energy.
