By now most everyone is familiar with the story of musical legend J Dilla (Jay Dee / James Yancey). The prolific producer collaborated with everyone from Eryka Badu and Common to Janet Jackson and De La Soul to create some of the most remarkable beats ever heard. He was just beginning to capitalize on his cult status when he sadly passed at age 32 due to Lupus-related complications in February 2006.

Having organised 3 annual “J-Dilla Changed My Life” tribute nights The Doctor’s Orders was proud to be approached by Nature Sounds the label behind this latest project to arrange an event marking the release of “Jay Stay Paid” the latest addition to the phenomenal discography of the man many believe to the greatest Hip-Hop producer of all time, much of which is already often heard at The Doctor’s Orders. This 25 track collection of unreleased J-Dilla beats mixed and arranged by Pete Rock and executively produced by Dilla’s Mum Mrs “Ma Dukes” Yancey while mostly instrumental also offers a few guests vocals from artists that Dilla worked with or admired including Black Thought, MF DOOM, and M.O.P.

With room one dedicated exclusively to the sounds of J-Dilla, Room two hosts producers all of whom can be considered a “King Of The Beats” in their own rights as we honor this phenomenal talent in the only way we know how, by partying all night!



ROOM 1: Jay Stay Paid
Manning the decks to pay their dues to the one and only J-Dilla are…

DJ House Shoes is Detroit's Hip-Hop ambassador to the world & four-time winner of Best Hip-Hop DJ in Detroit before moving to LA. A long time friend and collaborator of Dilla’s he released the highly sought after Jay Dee Unreleased in 1997 and Phat Kat's Dedication to the Suckers 12" in 1999. Most recently he mixed and releases “King James: Chapter 1: Verse 1” his dedicated tribute to Dilla. When it come to spinning the great mans work none do it better than House Shoes.

DJ Spin Doctor is firstly a massive fan of J-Dilla and as the driving force behind The Doctor’s Orders is over the moon to be spreading the good news of this latest release to both Dilla’s and The Doctor’s Orders fans. As ever his set is sure to be a highlight of the night.

DJ Rags has been repping J-Dilla for as long as he has been spinning. As one of the residents of London’s Livin' Proof night he has experienced first hand the effect his beats can have on an educated dance-floor. Tonight he will be putting that experience to good effect with his first set at The Doctor’s Orders.

ROOM 2: King of Beats
The Doctor’s Orders have hand picked some of their favorite producers to do their thing!

Kidkanevil is a longtime friend & fan of The Doctor’s Orders having passed through our doors on several occasions to take his place on the dance-floor. Tonight though “One of the UK’s most Original producers” (Hip-Hop Connection) is blessing us with a set of pretty much whatever he likes upstairs on the first floor. His fan base that includes the likes of DJ Shadow, DJ Vadim & pretty much everyone that has heard his albums is sure to be swelled tonight once they have heard his selection of Jazz, Dubstep, Hip-Hop and so much more.

Jazz T is a DJ and producer who has worked with the likes Percee P, Rodney P, Kashmere, Shabazz the Disciple, Souls of Mischief,
J Zone, as well as the cream of the UK’s MC’s. As a phenomenal battle DJ, producer & club DJ we have been hoping to get him in to do his thing for us for ages now and are pleased as we know our dedicated audience will be once he hits the decks and they hit the floor.

Blackbeard is one of the most creative remixers of recent years who’s work has been heard rocking dance-floors around the world. He joins us again to warm things up with a tasty selection of soulful platters.
