The Doctor’s Orders have always prided themselves on bringing not only the very best established artists from around the world to the fore but also striving to push new UK Hip-Hop talent that they see a bright future for. The three special guests hitting the stage are exactly that.

This trio of exceptional performers show the depth of talent on the UK scene right now in the form of two brilliant MCs and one of the most talented beat boxer to come from these shores in some time. This is the future now!

Jimmy Screech has had the pleasure of performing for The Doctor’s Orders regulars already and certainly did not disappoint. As a member of Root’s Manuva’s Banana Klan he has enjoyed as an inspiring apprenticeship as and MC could hope to have. Having made waves with a couple of 45’s that became favorites with many of the scene’s top DJs tonight he will be marking the release of his new “Yard Food” mixtape by performing tracks new and old that showcase his distinctive reggae tinged UK style.

Skandal has as much fire in belly as he does in his lyrics and flow which has seen him earmarked by The Guardian as “one to watch”. Well we have been watching and listening and have liked what we have seen and heard. This South London native is fast making a name for himself with his “Hunger Pains” mixtape, new single “Everyday” and live performances alongside the likes of Wu Tang’s Raekwon, Guru, Jedi Mind Tricks and radio appearances on BBC Radio 1, Kiss FM and Choice. Do not miss this opportunity to be blown away by a star of the future.

Hobbit is a master of the once forgotten element of Hip-Hop, Beatbox. Still only 21 he is already 5 years deep into his career and is still definitely in the ascendancy! Before being pipped in the final of this years UK Beatbox Championships he was the only master of his craft to have been honoured by judging the previous two years and hosting the International Beatbox Convention. His skills have to be heard to be believed, just type his name into youtube and you will see and hear why.

DJ 279 has been rocking the airwaves since 1992 on London’s Choice FM. With MOBO nominations coming thick and fast `alongside other awards throughout the year and gigs around the world it is fair to say that Numbers has the ear of the underground with every MC worth his weight in gold plaques coming though the show to shout out London. His sets at On The Real have become a highlight of the night and always leave the dance-floors sweating and smiling.

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.

DJ Snuff is an esteemed figure in UK Hip-Hop culture. After founding the notorious 'Speakers Corner' event in London he has become a key player in the international Hip-Hop movement 'End Of The Weak'. A true-school scratch DJ and crate digger known worldwide for rocking MC cyphers with the leading names of today and tomorrow, representing the raw no-sellout side of Hip-Hop in his energetic club sets.
