Review: Eric Hilton's most recent full length album Sound Vagabond, has been making some waves in the downtempo and chill out circles. Known for his smooth urban beats, catchy grooves and unique melodies as part of Thievery Corporation, he's a celebrated name in the downtempo scene, as well as being supportive of the vinyl DJ scene too. 'Midnight Milan' was taken from the album and sees a beautiful melody riding along perfectly to the easy-going rhythm. Simple but oh, so perfect - and that's before we mention the fact it's pressed on mint green colored vinyl.

Review: Eric Hilton of Thievery Corporation has long been a ardent fan of the DJ community and his most recent physical output strategy is to take key tracks from his most recent album and place them on DJ friendly 7" singles, each released with beautiful artwork and matching coloured vinyl, with an unreleased track to compliment on the B-side. 'Poppy Fields' is a funky groove that features a unique melody and urban eastern vibe to it. The flip side, 'French Bird' continues the smooth downtempo happenings. With Eric Hilton, you can always expect a great groove and a wonderful approach to chill out music - this is no exception.
Review: Eric Hilton's latest release feels like stepping into a hazy, late-night reverie. The track unfolds with a subtle interplay of gently rolling beats and shimmering guitar tones, setting a mood that's as reflective as it is cinematic. Dreamlike vocal layers drift in and out, adding a human touch to an otherwise deeply atmospheric composition. There's a warmth here that recalls the golden era of downtempo, yet Hilton's refined production ensures it feels distinctly modern. It's music for quiet moments, crafted with a level of care and precision that speaks to Hilton's years of mastery in sculpting immersive soundscapes.
