After 4 months of rocking the West End on a Friday night On The Real is moving to a Saturday to provide London with the rare opportunity to enjoy a underground Hip-Hop / Soul night on a Saturday.

If there is one thing that the On The Real crowd loves it is getting down to any night of the week is the very best in soulful party sounds whether that be Hip-Hop, Soul, Disco or any other genre that our incredible guests and residents choose to drop on them.

When it comes to dropping soulful dance dancefloor friendly sounds there is none better than the original funki dread Jazzie B. Jazzie B has done more than anyone in the UK to help the popularity of Soul music. The fact that he was bestowed with an OBE shows that even the queen has been listening. As the holder of 2 Grammys, an Ivan Novello award & the keys to no less than seven American cities his popularity clearly goes beyond Buckingham Palace. Jazzie’s undiluted love and knowledge of music started and still exists primarily through his time spent DJing. Whether at his legendary Soul II Soul Sunday nights @ The Africa Centre or exclusive parties for Gorgio Armani, on his BBC London radio show or on the beach in Antigua one thing is certain when Jazzie B is on the decks; you are gonna be on that dance-floor dancing and smiling as he drops the finest base heavy grooves known to man. With 8.6 million album sales worldwide it is fair to say he understands what people want!

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.

On The Real is promoted in association with King Apparel
