Today as it reaches a new high to proclaim to its dedicated fun loving followers
“Today I am an adult! Now lets make like kids and party!”

To mark this special occasion many of the people that have guided The Doctor’s Orders through it’s formative years have come together, alongside a couple of first timers, to aid it in shrugging of it’s childish ways & help set its course to be a not so respectable member of the clubbing society! This is without a doubt the night’s strongest line up to date and the not to miss clubbing event of the month!

As ever the vibe is set by it’s power house resident Spin Doctor who will be leading the celebrations with his usual blend of party bangers both old and new! He is joined downstairs by one of he most respected & most soulful Hip-Hop producers in the game J-Rawls. As one half of Lone Catalysts alongside J-Sands he has produced 2 highly acclaimed full length albums, while also producing for the likes of the Beastie Boys, Mos Def, Talib Kwelli & Jonell to name a few. Tonight he celebrates the release of the “Rawls & Middle” LP with a DJ set of the very best in classic Hip-Hop, Soul & Funk as well as a live PA with Middle Child the vocalist on the album!

Also performing live in celebration of the release of his new album is star of the UK scene Kashmere. With his second full release “Raiders of the Lost Archives” hitting shops the week of the party there will be no where to hide from this man’s ferocious talents, honed through the thriving UK battle scene & under the tutorage of Jehst on who’s YNR Productions imprint the album is released. Warming everything up will be a man well known to The Doctor’s Orders and to any rap fan worth their bling DJ Hooch.

Not to be outdone by the incredible line up below them the first floor boasts a pair of the most skilled and imaginative DJs one could hope to hear.
