After five years of throwing parties in the memory of the man many consider to be the greatest Hip-Hop producer of all time The Doctor’s Orders have teamed up with Juicy to bring the ‘J-Dilla Changed My Life’ experience to Manchester. Names that have been regulars at the events are joined by local legend Mr Scruff and a host of other top DJs to make sure this event goes off with a bang and raises loads of money for a very worthy cause.

The lucky few will not only be treated to an incredible night of music but also presented with the chance to get their hands on t-shirts exclusively printed for these events with all proceeds going to charity.

In his brief 32 years J-Dilla, otherwise known as Jay-Dee or James Yancey created and shaped a new sound for Hip-Hop that inspired beat smiths, MCs and music lovers around the globe. With an incredible line of production credits for De La Soul, Tribe Called Quest, Erykah Badu, The Pharcyde, Janet Jackson, Busta Rhymes, Common, D’Angelo, his own crew Slum Village and so many more it is little wonder that he has been described as a visionary, a genius & the quintessential producers’ producer by some of the most respected names in the game. The fact that both Pharell Williams & Kanye West name him as their major inspiration speaks volumes to the influence of his distinctive “Dilla sound”.

His own albums “Rough Draft” & “Donuts” on Stones Throw, “Welcome 2 Detroit” & “The Shining” on BBE Records alongside “Jay Loves Japan” and his work on his brother Illa-J’s album “Yancey Boys” stand out as masterpieces of modern music production and capture the imagination of producers, DJs & all music lovers across the world. This year a selection of his work has even been released in full orchestral form on both DVD and CD in the brilliant “Suite For Ma Dukes”.

As ever we have had no shortage of volunteers to jump up to the decks and show their love for Dilla’s catalogue of classics. We have kept with many of the same names that have rocked the event year on year but you can also expect some extremely special surprise guests!

The Extended Players are the UK’s strongest Hip-Hop DJ dream team & will be represented on the night by Harry Love & Mr Thing. With a wealth of club, radio, production, mixtape & battle experience between them they are without a doubt the most versatile and well rounded team on the scene.

Spin Doctor is firstly a massive fan of J-Dilla and as the driving force behind The Doctor’s Orders promotions so there was no way this event was not going to happen every year to celebrate the memory of his favourite producer. It is his passion for Dilla’s work that has guaranteed that it is the not to be missed event of the year! This year he goes further by introducing a J-Dilla tribute nights in Manchester and Brighton too!

It is fair to say we are over the moon to have Manchester’s own Mr Scruff joining us for what we hope will be annual tribute to the work of the Detroit legend. He will be kicking proceedings off in room 1 with a very special set of original breaks as used by J-Dilla so make sure you get there early.

Room 2 boasts a dream team of the cities best loved Hip-Hop DJ who will be offering an alternative to room 1 with a selection of the best Hip-Hop and soul sounds new and old!
