Originality

Thievery Corporation’s Originality arrives on their own Eighteenth Street Lounge Music imprint, the Washington D.C. collective’s boutique home for downtempo and electronic explorations. The project channels their signature blend of trip hop, lounge jazz, and world music influences—think sultry strings layered over breakbeats and ethereal vocal samples. With modest but devoted listenership, it represents the group’s continued commitment to sophisticated, cosmopolitan production away from mainstream attention.
