Fila Brazillia is a music group from Hull in North-East England. Formed in the early 1990s by Steve Cobby & Dave McSherry, they play electronica and ambient techno, and are sometimes described as being nu jazz.

They started on the ambient-downtempo label Pork Recordings (also Hull-based) with the album Old Codes New Chaos, and followed that with the albums Maim That Tune, Mess, Black Market Gardening, Luck Be A Weirdo Tonight and Power Clown. After creating their own music label with Sim Lister, Twentythree Records, they released the following albums: A Touch Of Cloth, Jump Leads, The Life And Times Of Phoebus Brumal, Dicks and Retrospective.

They also released a DJ mix album for the Azuli Records Another Late Night series, Another Late Night: Fila Brazillia.

Their collaborations include working with Harold Budd and Bill Nelson to release Three White Roses & A Budd: Twentythree Records (2002)

Their music has made its mark both on small-screen blockbusters (such as CSI and Sex and the City) and cult cinema films (such as Dogtown and Riding Giants).
