In 2008, Thes One secured a deal for People Under The Stairs with upstart label Gold Dust Media, a subdivision of K7 records worldwide. Following this, Thes One organized, planned and funded the video for "The Wiz", a song to be released on "Fun DMC" and shot entirely on location in Sydney Australia with director Matt Bird. Featuring innovative underwater filming and a massive helicopter shot, the video received critical and fan praise alike and helped pave the way for the successful release of "Fun DMC", PUTS’ 6th full-length release. After years of producing and engineering the complicated Fun DMC album for People Under The Stairs partly in studio and partly on location in South Central Los Angeles in Blewfoot's backyard, the album received worldwide acclaim and noted a marked turn in the groups sound back towards the modern funk of early 1980s Los Angeles. Following a nationwide tour in support of the album, People Under The Stairs celebrated their 10-year anniversary in December 2008 with a sold-out show at Los Angeles’ historical El Rey theatre.
