(Editor's Note: Sorry about the tardiness of this post!) The Good: Danielson - "Animal In Every Corner (Version)"; So this is on an upcoming album of B-sides and outtakes and other stuff, and amazingly this doesn't sound like it should have been any of those! Instead this is just another solid Danielson song and it's been a while since we've heard one of those so I think we should all get excited
One of my all time favorite hip hop groups, The People Under The Stairs are releasing a new album, "FUN DMC" on September 30th. Here's some of their new material! People Under The Stairs - Anotha' (BBQ) People Under The Stairs - Step Bacc (McDastardly Remix)
Brand new joint from Thes One and Double K - aka People Under The Stairs . I think these dudes are offa OM Records right now, and I don't really know what label their new album Fun DMC is dropping on. Feel free to let me know in the comments section. DOWNLOAD: People Under The Stairs - Anotha BBQ
Considering their prowess on the turntables and the microphones, and their long-running consistency, it's baffling how long People Under the Stairs have sidestepped the mainstream spotlight. After all, even if you've never heard them hailed as "the next [insert hip hop legend here]," it's hard not to compare their sense of humor to The Pharcyde's , or their rarefied positivity to A Tribe Called Quest's uplifting mantras. "Anotha BBQ" rides in on the wavy mirage of sweltering summer heat, celebrating the season the only way it should be celebrated: grilled meat, liquor, women, [...]

People Under The Stairs - "Another (BBQ)" Their new album Fun DMC hits the stores September 30th, 2008 on Gold Dust.
PUTS is back, and party-vibe in tact for this one. Another BBQ is the official "press leaked" cut from the upcoming Fun DMC album. I ain't mad at it. People Under The Stairs have always come with some solid material in my humble opinion, album after album I always check for these cats. FUN DMC [...]

I've yapped a bit about LA's People Under the Stairs over the years, and I've gotta run my mouth about 'em again. Their latest LP, Fun DMC , is set to hit the streets this month. So singles are out and a tour's in order, natch. . Two songs are available now legitimately through iTunes and elsewhere. The iTunes version is the least expensive by fifty cents (hooray for the weak dollar!) and though it is tagged as the "Clean" version, it's not edited. A few f- bombs snuck [...]
A wise man once said People Under the Stairs "are the epitome of California cool – laid-back beats and verses that celebrate the mellow side of West Coast living and obsessive crate digging." OK, that was me . In a year that hasn't produced too many hip-hop records I'm excited about (where are you, MURS ?), the first single from PUTS' forthcoming Fun DMC has surfaced. The track is called Step Bacc , and it seems to live up to the promise of the album title. Says [...]
Down Crescent Heights Boulevard Home of the Stars Get ya pulled out ya car for frontin' too hard Just listen, you ain't down with the streets my brotha? I can forsee in your future there's some runnin' for cover L.A. Song People Under The Stairs are an underground hip-hop band based in Los Angeles; comprised of two self-proclaimed B-boys, Thes One and Double K. For fans of Tribe Called Quest, Jurassic 5 and Eric B. & Rakim. [...]
I really need to pay better attention to the weekly Tuesday release lists because it's inevitable I'll miss something like the jam-packed goodness of People Under the Stairs' The Om Years collection, which came out this past week. Granted, "the Om Years" lasted for just three records and various singles. But great records they are from Double K and Thes One , who are planning to release their sixth album, Fun DMC , in September on Gold Dust Media . Of course, I'm never sure what to [...]
1. Crystal Castles - "Trash Hologram" (mp3) For some reason or another I never picked up Crystal Castles' and HEALTH's 2007 7-inch until recently. I may not have nice things to say about their live show, but their studio recordings are impeccable. "Trash Hologram," for example, is the very embodiment of the heavily-sustained sound Crystal Castles strive for. Two minutes and fifteen seconds of whomping bass lines and starry-eyed synth. 2. The Week That Was - "The Good Life" (mp3) Ex-Field Music member and brother of David Brewis—who also [...]

Duralcha: Ghet-to Funk From 7" (Microtronics, 1974). Also on Funk Spectrum 2 . People Under the Stairs: The Dig From O.S.T. (Om, 2002) Marco Polo feat. Large Professor: The Radar Remix From 12" (Fat Beats, 2007) I've avoided using drum breaks as a point of comparison but I thought, given the distinctiveness of the Duralcha break and its prominence in both these songs (one being brand spankin' new), it'd be [...]
Tres Records is making moves and DJ Alibi is next up to bat. If you missed it, Tres was the label to drop the last albums by Giant Panda , Lightheaded and People Under The Stairs . It's been a good couple years for them, and it's wise to take notice. 21 year old DJ Alibi was apparently "discovered" by Thes One (PUTS). The first hints of DJ Alibi's skills first hit with the Tres Presents: Shipping And Handling compilation. He [...]

"Boombox Rocker" by Jacob Tilgner Florida-bound this weekend. But that's just a segue to my big trip back to San Diego next week. So in honor of this weekend, I'm drop'n a tribute to hip-hop's favorite segue... the interlude.
