Ladies and gentlemen, Dev Hynes strikes again. The chameleon-like producer, writer and artist might be best known for his stint in Test Icicles and his solo projects Lightspeed Champion and Blood Orange, but he's always had a particularly hot touch with female vocalists (see " Galaxy of the Lost ," his full-throated and weirdly haunting folk duet with Florence Welch circa 2007). Over the past year, Dev's been in the studio with Solange as well as the three OG Sugababes, who are now recording under the rather literal moniker of Mutya Keisha Siobhan - and I have to [...]
As the producers of Solange’s EP and Vampire Weekend’s album, respectively, Dev Hynes and Ariel Rechtshaid have built up their names to be nearly as big as our cover stars, mainly while working behind the ... read more
thepiratebay Kind of an arbitrary selection to close out the year - and the regular cover of the week thing as a whole - but hey, it's timely. Dev Hynes doesn't operate as Lightspeed Champion anymore, and even his new Blood Orange persona is presently taking a backseat to his role as Solange's producer/co-conspirator, he was/is an amazingly prolific musician no matter what you call him, releasing music through whatever avenue happens to be convenient. In 2007, that was MySpace and even before his debut full-length [...]
December has cometh and thus, so does the annual round up. We're beginning with albums, and opting for a top fifteen only. Whittling down this list has been tough, but we're finally happy with our choices, so, let us commence. 15. Solange - True Solange ’s ‘True’ is latecomer to the album of the year stakes, having only been released a couple of weeks back, and in actuality, is an EP rather than a full album. However, it’s very much worthy of a nod owing to its [...]

Dev Hynes is a multi-talented and multi-faceted producer, singer, songwriter, composer, artist, and author with a voracious appetite for different musical styles and an incredible work ethic. He has worked with artists like Basement Jaxx, Florence & The Machine, and Theophilus London, as well as on his own varied projects which have included raucous nu-rave/punk band Test Icicles and the lonely troubadour Lightspeed Champion. Throw in his most recent iteration as the '80s inspired Blood Orange and frequent remixes, and Devonté Hynes has an impressively varied and wide-ranging body of work. After frequent recent appearances on the pages of [...]
At this year's Coachella, as part of the Noisey's live video series, Florence and the Machine and Dev Hynes (of Lightspeed Champion, Blood Orange) took a stab at Green Day's "Hitchin' a Ride" . Originally off 19972s Nimrod , this cover of the Bay Area trio's punky lounge anthem strips the punk and stresses the lounge. It's pretty cool seeing Florence Welch scream and, well, Hynes plays bass well. Catch it below. In other news, Florence and the Machine's Florence Welch recently sustained a vocal injury and doctors have ordered her [...]
Novo vídeo do cantor/compositor Dev Hynes, mais conhecido como Blood Orange ou Lightspeed Champion. I'm Sorry We Lied é um dos destaques do álbum Coastal Grooves , lançado pelo selo Domino no ano passado. A direção do clipe ficou por conta do americano Abteen Bagheri , que também trabalhou no vídeo de Peso do A$AP Rocky.
Dev Hynes (aka Blood Orange aka Lightspeed Champion ) offers this damn near breathtaking rendition of Florence + The Machine 's Ceremonials highlight "Never Let Me Go". The track isn't your typical remix and it would be a disservice to you and the song to approach it as one; this is a duet, and one of the strongest ones we've heard this year. Hynes completely reimagines the gut-wrenching emotionality of "Never Let Me Go" as [...]
I don't know why it popped into my head the other day, but once it did I found it lodged there and pretty much immovable. I'm talking about 'Galaxy Of The Lost' by Lightspeed Champion . The song is a good few years old, and I haven't heard it in ages, so I'm not sure what triggered it. It got me me thinking to how much different stuff Dev Hynes has been involved in over the years, and how varied each of those guises are. He started out life as the guitar player in [...]

Tweet vaso link Devonté Hynes wears many hats; he played in the band Test Icicles while they were in existence; he released music under the name Lightspeed Champion for a while (and may again); he's produced material for the likes of Basement Jaxx, Theophilus London and Florence + The Machine. (From the looks of the cover of his new single, he may also be a part-time stripper.) Now, Hynes has also found time to release music under the Blood Orange moniker. [...]
The debut Bleeding Knees Club album comes out in just over a month - check out the title track just below! Also, if you pre-order on JB, you get to be supes hipster n shit and get a tote bag. The album was recorded with Dev Hynes (Lightspeed Champion, Blood Orange) and should well be killer. [...]

[There's plenty of great Christmas songs out there, but most suffer terribly from over-exposure. To remedy that, EbM presents a selection of alternative Christmas songs .] Way back in 2007 - before he'd even released his first album, Falling Off The Lavender Bridge - Dev Hynes, a.k.a. Lightspeed Champion , built his reputation by releasing several home-recorded EPs. One of those was the creatively-titled Garageband Xmas EP , the two best tracks of which can be found at the bottom of this post. [...]
The scheduled appearance by Blood Orange tonight at Skybar at the Mondrian Hotel has been postponed until Monday. The gig, one of IAMSOUND's Mondrian Sessions , has been rescheduled for 8 p.m. Monday. Dev Hynes (aka Blood Orange, aka Lightspeed Champion) apparently experience transportation problems getting to Los Angeles in time for the performance. Photo via Domino Recording Co.
blood orange - "sutphin boulevard" (download) Blood Orange is the new solo project from Dev Hynes ( Lightspeed Champion / Test Icicles ). Really well-written, danceable pop songs. This record seems to have come out of nowhere and I've been listening to it non-stop. buy
BBC There's no shame in being late to the party on certain artists; it's simply not possible to keep up with everything that's out there, let alone apply the necessary hype filters to discern what's genuinely good and what's just hip noise. I tend to go with the philosophy that if it's worth hearing, I'll hear it eventually and if it's not, then I won't even know what I missed. Of course, sometimes you realize it's worth hearing a little too late. By the time the buzz around Amy Winehouse reached my [...]
Rating: 3 out of 5 stars Dev Hynes changes names like most of us change pants, you know, once or twice a week. First there was Test Icicles , then Lightspeed Champion , and now Blood Orange . While names may come and go, Dev will always be the same, and Coastal Groove , his new record, finds him sort of running in place, albeit a more 80s influenced place. When "Forget It" hits your speakers, those familiars won't find too [...]
