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! Read on
Thomas Bangalter Dances About Art.
The latest issue of ‘whitewall’ magazine features an exclusive interview with Daft Punk’s Thomas Bangalter. Apart from Daft Punk interviews being generally uncommon, this one’s fairly unique in that it steers clear of the more conventional topics of DP related conversation, and more towards Bangalter’s sensibilities and influences when it comes to Daft Punk as an all medium encompassing work of “art”.

Until The Light Takes Us.
Black metal, black metal, black metal. Our fascination with church-burning, satan-worshipping, Norwegian nutballs is bottomless and with the genre’s growing popularity there is no shortage of documentaries or photo spreads to keep our brutal tastes satiated. Until The Light Takes Us is a little better than your average black metal doc though, spending significant time dissecting the core of how black metal became what it is today and how it has spiraled into something completely beyond anything it’s creators could have imagined.

Not really sure how to classify this percussive amalgamation from London based Friend, but I hope it signifies the ushering in of more music that makes me yearn for cherry blossom lined streets and Pocky. “Doki” is from Friend’s debut EP “Shima”.

“You walk for me, walk for me, walk for me”
I’m not the one to speak authoritatively on NYC gay culture, but any movement that throws vogueing, 90’s vocal house, men’s leggings, Gucci Mane, happy hardcore & 2-step into a homo-thug blender AND makes sense out of it, is kinda-sorta killing it in every aspect of creativity. Our friend, Patrik North of Acéphale Recs, has been putting me up on what’s been brewing in this scene and I gotta say— I’m pretty gay for it. Read on
O. Children
The best clanging, post-punkish, dirge with Ian Curtis style vocals over real-deal-Martin -Hannett-apocalypse-always-style production ever. This is definitely what Interpol would have looked like at the other end of their Joy Division makeover if they had any taste to begin with. But this is actually way beyond any of that garbage. These dudes are absolutely amazing in their own right. So, check out their myspace HERE.
