Baby J Album Launch Party
London's west end is screaming out for a dose of underground Hip-Hop and original Soul and who better to prescribe it than The Doctor's Orders.

The Launch party with mixtape legend and Jay-Z’s DJ Neil Armstrong broke the venues attendance records and was just a taste of what is to come at what is sure to become another notable night from The Doctor’s Orders promotion team. The capacity crowd were shaking their butts and waving their hands as they were blessed to the very finest in underground Hip-Hop, Funk & Soul and Neil’s phenomenal skills of switching from the original break to the Hip-Hop or R&B classic that sampled it all of which whipped the crowd into an excited, sweaty, frenzy.

We can expect more of the same this time around as the brilliant residents are joined by the incredible Sadat X who will be blessing the crowd with a live set that is sure to blow them away.

Sadat X is perhaps best known as a member of the ground breaking Brand Nubian who created some of the “Golden Age’ of mid 90’s Hip-Hop’s greatest tracks that can be heard in any self respecting DJ’s sets to this day. Classics like “Punks Jump Up To Get Beat Down”, “Slow Down” & “ Word Is Bond” were followed by memorable solo tracks such as “Lump Lump”, “Wild Cowboys” & stand out verses alongside the likes of Common, De La Soul, Big L and so many more. With his distinctive nasal tones Sadat X has been a favourite of the underground scene for years and is sure to guarantee another packed house at On The Real.

Shortee Blitz is a shining light of the Hip-Hop scene in the UK. Whether supporting traveling US stars, holding it down on one of his two weekly Kiss FM shows or tearing the roof off clubs all over the globe one thing is for certain and that is that this MOBO award winning DJ is always going to be spinning with a smile on his face. Even more so now he is a resident at for a night dedicated to the Hip-Hop & Soul styles he truly loves.

DJ MK first came to prominence through his now infamous mid 90's mixtapes that are still the prize possessions of those wise enough to keep their tape decks well oiled. They now represent the blueprint for the sounds that MK will be spinning at this new night. When away from his day jobs as Roots Manuva's DJ & as Kiss FM's Thursday night Hip-Hop DJ extraordinaire he will be found doing what he does best, rocking crowds with the sounds of his beloved Hip-Hop.

Spin Doctor is the driving force behind the phenomenal success of The Doctor's Orders and while not planning domination of the UK's party scene is most at ease behind a set of decks. The early influence of his 5 older brothers and sisters record collections developed into an obsession with soul tinged music of all styles which he uses to this day when treating dance-floors to his fearless sets of party platters.

The B-Boy Cypher is a circle in which dancers display their skills in a battle of one-upmanship. Each month London’s finest b-boys and girls will be heading to the west end to display their finesse to the sounds of the very best b-boy DJs in the business. Skeg has been the driving force behind the ever-popular Breakin Bread nights for the past 10+ years and has developed an ability to cut up Funk records unrivalled in the capital. DJ Hooch was dropping bombs at his legendary Funkin' Pussy night, the longest running weekly Hip-Hop & Funk club known to mankind, before many of the current crop of Hi-Hop heads were out of short trousers. As the man responsible for the annual UK B-Boy Championships his credentials among the dancing community are unparalleled. As a talented B-Boy himself D.Bo knows exactly what sounds they want to hear when hitting the floor and he will not disappoint!
