Product Description

Amazon.co.uk Review

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


CD Description

The DJ KICKS series of mixes was inaugurated by the K7 electronica label in 1995, when techno went mainstream and movedbeyond dance clubs and into living rooms. By 1999, techno stars like Carl Craig and Kruder & Dorfmeister had contributed to the series, and it was time for Washington DC duo Thievery Corporation to craft their own DJ KICKS mix. One of the finest offerings of the DJ KICKS series, this set maintains a rather low-key mood throughout, in keeping with Thievery Corporation's usual modus operandi. Nevertheless, the sounds on offer are wide-ranging, including everything from the old-school lounge sounds of Les Baxter to the dub stylings of Rockers Hi-Fi and the warm, glowing acid-jazz sounds of Jazzanova, all intermixed with the Corporation's own distinctive downtempo cuts.

5.0 out of 5 stars Fantastic, 17 May 2001
By A Customer
This and the K&D album are the best of an amazing series of mixed beats Cds. Where K&D is dark and moody, Thievery Co. have produced an album you can dance and smoke to. Going from suped-up dub to indian vibes to bongo-led African tunes, this is fantastic. If you've never heard of Thievery, start here. If you've never heard of dj:kicks, get this and the K&D album. C'est tout.

5.0 out of 5 stars Thievery Corporation's Chilled out international beats, 18 Dec 2001
By R. Pieters "r.pieters@ntlworld.uk" (Harlow Essex) - See all my reviews
(REAL NAME)   
This is the best the Thievery Corporation get as they join names such as Les Baxter , De Lata and Jazzanova. Without a doubt the whole sound is outclassed by the distinctive rhytmic vibes of The Thievery Corporation.There's pure chilled quality here in just over an hour of short tracks.The Thievery are at there peak on this DJ kicks collection bringing out there ethnic rhythms and drum beats from Asian symphonies to African style drumming and ragga Jamaican dub blending with polished sound effects and chants of a 60's detective style film sound track . But the emphasis on this release seems to be the powerfull percussion make sure you turn up your hi-fi's treble for this. This is a must for all chill out music fans and the perfect sound track of international chilled grooves shuffle around the floor to the cool beats or sit them out .Where Fila Brazilia excell in electronic sounds Thievery excell in rhythms and beats. One of the hottest sounds I've heard this year.

5.0 out of 5 stars More class grooves..., 28 May 2004
By nicjaytee (London) - See all my reviews
(TOP 100 REVIEWER)   
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.
