Last night I was at The Social where you're always guaranteed to hear the latest in cutting edge electro beats and feel like you're part of an American Apparel ad. Local Toronto DJ's Johnny Hockin and VNDLSM were performing along with New York's Cobra Krames. The night was solid and the music offered a perfect soundtrack to a packed dancefloor.
The relationship between the DJ and the audience is symbiotic. The DJ thrives on the energy emanating from the dance floor and vice versa. When you have DJ's who actually engage with the audience, this relationship is heightened and sparks start to fly. This feeling can be experienced by falling in love, or seeing the 84.85 perform live.
Warning: Their dirty electro hip hop sound will make you feel really sweaty and really good.
Jay Bones & Cassius are the two "nice" guys who make up the 84.85. I say "nice" because when you're watching these two perform you'd have no idea that they are the sweetest guys. Their shows are driven with attitude that matches the edgier sound they've created with hyper driven beats and buzz saw synths.
Cassius writes the lyrics to the raps he performs while Jay produces the tracks. The pair are becoming a hot commodity and it's only a matter of time before they blow up. Be sure to check out their next show on June 21st at Club Z in Toronto located at 812 Dundas Street West.
