![[Listen/Download] – 84.85 – "40 And A Fistfight" (¡BORRACHO! REMIXX)](http://cdn.elbo.ws/posts/2850166_lg.jpg)
This post is a "QuickPick". QuickPicks are my attempt at getting all of the music that's sent to me that I like (or just music I like but have no words for because it's so awesome), out into the dubya dots. Any time I get sent music that I like I "star" it in Gmail and then go back and listen to it a day later. If it's still as good as it was a day before then it goes up on the site, but sometimes I get backlogged and can't get through writing [...]
PnT homey and 84.85 beat smith supreme Lucy 'Lo put together this fantastic Makin' Eyes tape for his recent Toronto appearance with Mowgli and it's mixed and programmed tighter than your super skinnys.

This is a start to finish type listen... burn it to DISC and be sure to stay tuned for the upcoming Plugcast from Mr. 'Lo. Makin Eyes (Mixtape) by [...]

This week's top ten, coming in rather late (sorry!) is chock full of new, and new'ish dubstep, deep house, and nu disco. It's so late that I'm not even going to try and say anything insightful, but I will make mention of the video for Magnetic Man's new(ish) single I Need Air, which is an achievement in terms of capturing the energy of the song in video, as well as in video editing and production, and is chock full of sick lighting/graphic effects and dubstep screwfaces. Monarchy - Love Get Out of My Way (Treasure Fingers [...]
A weird headline? Not so, really. It's the band 84.85 that got their track "40 and a Fistfight" remixed of ¡BORRACHO! Both acts are from Toronto, the city that I not long ago claimed to be this year's "City of Great Music". A lot of amazing stuff is coming from Toronto right now. This one for example... 84.85 - 40 and a Fistfight (¡BORRACHO! Remixx)
This Friday (April 23rd) the Plugged Not Thugged fam will be invading Suba Nightclub in Toronto for an evening of Greasy Nuggets ( Facebook Event ).

No I haven't shrunk, I'm just sitting on a really big chair. So, another week gone and not really much to report. Ampersand's new collection is available for viewing on our newly restyled website and we'll be co-hosting a trunk show at Thriving Ink (55 W. Angela St., Pleasanton, CA) on July 27th from 7-9 p.m. Good music, refreshments provided and lots of shopping. Come say hi if you're in the area. As for this week, English Best Friend's baby shower is next Saturday AND (drum roll please) En Vogue is performing at the Alameda County Fair that [...]
If you haven't heard of these boys, get familiar. 84.85 consist of Cass and Jay, two regular dudes with some sort of superhuman ability to rock any performance handed to them. Few local acts can boast such a strong stage presence, but hand these guys a mic, two turntables and a mixer and prepare for a sweaty, beer-stained, crowd-on-the-stage, hands-in-the-air kind of madness. Don't believe me? Check out 40 and a Fistfight and Breathe and tell me you're not intrigued. With Cass' fast-paced, aggressive lyrics [...]
Like promised last week, Bass Live appears on the 5th of December. The new EP from DJ Barletta features remixes from some Canadian heavy hitters like Syntonics , TMDP , 84.85 , TT and Gingy all hailing from the city of Toronto . We've had a lot of requests for this album which can only mean that DJ Barletta is getting some international attention (I got an email from a couple of Japanese producers who have him listed as an influence); so here it [...]

the 84.85 is an electro hip-hop duo from Toronto with a a "classic "he's the DJ and I'm the rapper" scenario". Cassius and Jay Bones say that they are bored with how hip hop is sounding today and are trying out a different sound. They have just released a self-titled three song EP '84852. It is not groundbreaking but it is alright. I would love to hear some remixes on this. the 84.85 - DON'T WORRY (direct link) the 84.85 - BREATHE (direct link) Book [...]
