Bio
40 Thieves is a San Francisco dance-music collective centred on Corey Black, Layne Fox and Jay Williams. Their music draws on psychedelic disco, blues, early house and acid, with years of record collecting feeding the ideas brought into the studio. Friends, singers and instrumentalists join the core trio, giving the project a character that extends beyond a fixed production partnership.
Formed in 2005, the group brought together experience in DJing, running independent labels and session musicianship. Their version of Hot Chocolate's Don't Turn It Off with Qzen became a notable early release. Leng has since provided a recurring home, including the album The Sky Is Yours. Work with vocalist Alona is another long-running thread, continuing through Love Is and Let Me Show You.
