Episode 4: WMIG @ The Levi’s / FADER Fort

Back in March, FADER Magazine kindly asked us to curate the Saturday DJ lineup at the Levi’s / FADER Fort during SXSW in Austin, TX. We cobbled together a ragtag group of ruffians who’d released mixes for the absolutely fantastical mix series that FADER and WMIG produce together. Alex XXXChange, Pretty Titty, Blaqstarr, Chris Devlin, Paul Devro, and DJ Sega all through it in a hot bbq’ed blender of free booze and sunshine to churn out these little moments of glistening beauty. Here’s a little video recap. Check it out!!!

Volume 09: Paul Devro

If you are a one legged zombie dragging yourself through the jungle with a boombox strapped to your back, trying to get to the next latin oldies party at the bottom of a waterfall, then this mix is for you. Paul has been a dear friend of WMIG for a long time and we have too many stories involving werewolf masks, rabbit tacos, Andy Milonakis, breaking into pools at 5am, and late checkouts to fit into this post, so we’ll let the zombie anthem speak for itself. Little bit of Salem, little bit of Kelis, little bit of Mad Decent faves, Major Lazer; it’s all here just in time to sweat it out for summer!

“I tried to make this mix different from most of the mixtapes that i receive from people.  I tried to not make it about new niche genres, super exclusive mp3s or even themed.  I just put together a bunch of songs that i have always liked and that I wanted to share.  There’s a bit of everything in here and i tried not to go too over board on the weird dial. Anyways, I like this mix, maybe a bit too many sirens but its 8am and i’m too tired to take them out. Hope you enjoy!” – Paul Devro

When we were in Palm Springs a month or so ago, we threw a party with Paul Devro at the Ace Hotel. Fun times were everywherrr and we all had hotel rooms at the Ace, which equaled: party all night, jump in the pool, throw up, throw up, etc. The following day the hotel manager called us up and was like: “Yeah..uh…your buddy Paul is throwing a fit because we need him to check out. Can you get him to calm down?” So, we went to check it out. As we walked up the stairs all you could hear was a really loud thumping and a vocoded robot voice. Paul opened the door and a waft of smoke blew by him. My eyes adjusted to the dark room and I could just barely see some half-naked, clan-of-the-cave-bear-looking chick putting on some makeup and Andy Milonakis dressed up like a zombie sitting in front of a laptop. “What’s up, Paul?” “Oh hey, just working on some tunes with Andy. You know Andy?” Things got way more normal after that.
