As a fan of Dev Hynes since his days in Test Icicles/Lightspped Champion and now Blood Orange, it made me sad to hear that last night Dev’s New York City apartment caught on fire, taking the life of his puppy and all his possessions. This is beyond horrible to hear especially considering its the Holidays and all.
He lost all his harddrives with all his music on it, scores, and most importantly, his dog. He shared the devastating news on twitter earlier today:
Last night, the unthinkable happened. My entire apt burnt down while I was out. I've lost everything I own, including scores, hard drives…

My dog died in the fire. I will love you forever Cupid. I miss you.

I still don't own a phone. So email me if you need to get in touch. I might need some time. Thanks.

Robin Urbani, the mother of Dev’s girlfriend Samantha Urbani (of the band, Friends) has started a GoFundMe Page for Dev where people can send donations for Dev to get back on his feet. If you have something to spare, that would be a great help to Dev.
