Thievery Corporation — Radio Retaliation

17th Anniversary Edition · CD

Originally released in 2008, Radio Retaliation remains one of Thievery Corporation’s most powerful and politically charged albums — a global protest record wrapped in deep bass, dub, bossa, reggae, Afrobeat, sitar-laced psychedelia, and the unmistakable Washington, D.C. downtempo sound of Eric Hilton and Rob Garza.

For its 17th anniversary, Radio Retaliation returns on CD.

Featuring a wide-reaching cast of collaborators, including Femi Kuti, Seu Jorge, Anoushka Shankar, Chuck Brown, Sleepy Wonder, LouLou Ghelichkhani, Notch, Verny Varela, Jana Andevska, and Zee, the album moves like a pirate radio broadcast from around the world — urgent, hypnotic, and deeply atmospheric.

A landmark entry in the Thievery Corporation catalog, Radio Retaliation captures the duo’s signature mix of global grooves and conscious resistance at full force, from the opening call of “Sound the Alarm” to the closing drift of “Sweet Tides.”
