Let the boom-bap waft through the window with this afternoon mix of turntablist hip-hop, soul and funk from LA’s indie rap stalwarts People Under the Stairs. Originally performed at dublab in May of 2000, the set features funky fresh selections and a few fun freestyle deliveries from Double K and Thes One in the run-up to their sophomore LP, Question In The Form Of An Answer, released the following month on Om Records. Press play and nod along to the skills of this classic duo as they drop classics from James Brown and The Meters to Diamond D, Mos Def and D.I.T.C., along with unreleased and to-be-released cuts of their own.

FROM THE VAULTS is an ongoing curation project produced by Ben Sinclair, resurfacing rare live performances and DJ sets recorded during dublab’s first ten years.
