The Doctor's Orders 36
Re-Launch Party @ Fabric
10pm-5am Friday 12th February 2010
Fabric, 77 Charterhouse Street, London EC1

Ty (performing live)
The Nextmen
Spin Doctor (The Doctor's Orders)
Mr Thing (Extended Players)
The Last Skeptik
& host MC Prankster
After the closure of Herbal, their home for the last 4+ years, it made sense for London's No.1 Hip-Hop party to join forces with London's No.1 nightclub so as of 2010Fabric is the new home for The Doctor's Orders. We are kicking off this new partnership with the most incredible Hip-Hop line up any club is likely to see this year and that The Doctor's Orders have ever presented. With a wealth of talent from both sides of the Atlantic that will be providing a full night of banging beats for what has consistently been London's premier Hip-Hop promotion of the last 5 years.
On the wheels of steel is one of the most talented all round DJs working today DJ Babu. As a member of the world Famous Beat Junkies he is one of the most accomplished and influential battle DJs ever. As one third of the hugely popular Dilated Peoples this LA native has had the pleasure of performing in every corner of the world. Tonight it is his party rocking skills that interest us the most and we are guaranteed not to be disappointed. The last time he rocked The Doctor's Orders crowd back in December 2008 a packed house thoughts Xmas had come early as they were left no option but to shake their stuff to his incredible selection of fun packed platters.
Performing live on the night is one of Hip-Hop's true innovators Ty. Over the last 10 years Ty has developed a sound that is distinctly British and always fun with 3 albums and over 400 releases that have seen him nominated for a Mercury prize. It is however for his live shows that he is best known and that The Doctor's Orders have been trying to track him down for ages. We are sure that the typically packed house will enjoy the live show that have seen him perform alongside Damon Albarn, as part of his African Express, with Pee Wee Ellis, in tribute to James Brown and alongside all time legends De La Soul.
We are also over the moon to welcome back The Nextmen that we have been looking forward to have come and unleash their usual brand of party stylings. Having played at The Doctor's Orders launch party four and a half years ago they have remained good friends but having become international stars rocking festivals and parties throughout the world this is the first chance we have had to invite them back to see things through to the early hours as they close off what is certain to be an incredible night.
Spin Doctor as ever is sure to be one of the highlights of the night as he blesses the crowd to another of his trademark sets of classic and brand new Hip-Hop that has seen The Doctor's Orders become London's most popular party. He is set to be joined by his host and new partner in crime MC Prancster as they continue to show people how to really party.
The only man to have played at any where near as many of The Doctor's Orders events over the years as resident & promoter Spin Doctor is Mr Thing and there is one simple reason for that. By both our and our regulars opinion he is the best Hip-Hop DJ in the city and it is always a pleasure to hear him play.
Warming things up for us on this February night is one of the rising stars of the UK scene producer and DJ The Last Skeptik. Having already done sterling work at various of our events last year this young man that has been creating beats for many of the UK's hottest MCs and indie cats and is a name to look out for in 2010.
Keeping the whole show moving in his unique style is the host with the most MC Prancster. Having held down mic duties for Spin Doctor on New Year's Eve there was such an easy connection that these two are going to be making it a proper double act in 2010.
