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!
