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

fabulously flawless! July 11, 2008
As with a good wine ageing well so this album from 1999 is tasting just great to me having stumbled across it in a sale only 9 years later! The Thievery Corporation excel in blending together so many 'world music' sounds so seamlessly over laid back trippy beats and this offering is just perfect. Its packed with so many good vibes you could confidently leave the whole 60 minutes worth on for the chillout phase of any cool party. Its perfect for any time of day really!
More class grooves... May 29, 2004
5 out of 6 found this review helpful
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.

Buy this, you won't be disappointed! It is the best, freshest thing ever. I heard this in New York a few years ago, and I have bought everything that Thievery have done since then. All of it is great, but DJ Kicks is boss.
Thievery Corporation's Chilled out international beats December 18, 2001
15 out of 15 found this review helpful
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.

One of my favourite albums of the year. This is ambient music at its finest. Every track is smooth, elegant and highly engaging. It deserves 5 stars for its range of styles alone. Buy this and you will not be disappointed.
