After the warm minimalism of Sounds from the Thievery Hi-Fi, Garza and Hilton raised the production value significantly with the highly acclaimed The Mirror Conspiracy, which contained the seminal international hit "Lebanese Blonde" which was featured on the Grammy winning and platinum selling Garden State soundtrack.

The next corporate offering was the conscious and thought-provoking The Richest Man In Babylon, which raised the stakes just as record bins began to be flooded with imitators. Released in February of 2005, The Cosmic Game broke new ground for Thievery with high-profile collaborations with The Flaming Lips, Perry Farrell, and David Byrne contributing outstanding performances to an album that pushed Thieveryís signature sound in new directions.

Nearly seven years after releasing their first remix album Abductions and Reconstructions, the duo released Versions, a collection of rare and sublime remixes of songs by The Doors, Sarah McLachlan, Astrud Gilberto, Nouvelle Vague, Wax Poetic with Norah Jones, Anoushka Shankar and Transglobal Underground among many others.

With a nod to the Jamaican production tradition of creating "versions" of the original compositions, the 18-track collection showcased their versatility and studio production talent to transform music by a wide range of artists into sonic gems bearing the distinct Thievery sound.

With the renowned club and record label, acclaimed compilations, legendary live shows, and sales of over one million albums to date - every one of them self-produced and independently distributed - Thievery Corporation are undisputed standard-bearers of electronic music, and among the most adventurous and compelling artists extant. In the words of Rolling Stone: "Together, Hilton and Garza explore foreign cultures with wide-eyed curiosity and a taste for the unexpected. Then they lock themselves in a studio and record songs that tell stories of a better world."

Date and time: Sunday 17 July 9 pm.
