It’s the start of the week -- a busy week for me and the same probably goes for you as well. If not, I’m jealous.

If you’ve got anyone coming round to yours for a meal or a drink this week, may I suggest you play these two gems by Thievery Corporation. These are two of my favourite tracks from the D.C. based duo who frequently have guests on their worldly wise music.

Both of these songs blend seamlessly into the background of conversation and help set the mood for any dinner or drinks party.

Thievery Corporation get their soft dub sounds spot-on for Amerimacka with guest vocalist Notch.

Thievery Corporation -- Amerimacka ft. Notch --

Warning Shots ups the tempo slightly and the hindu-inspired vocal effects throughout display how perfectly they merge completely different kinds of music.

Thievery Corporation -- Warning Shots ft. Sleepy Wonder and Gunjan --

Still haven’t seen them live yet. It’s on my list though.

Thievery Corporation -- Radio Retaliation (Live at Merriweather Pavillion) --
