Lightspeed Champion's Uncensored Interviews - Take 4

Back again, here is the fourth installment of Uncensored interviews with our young indie oracle Lightspeed Champion bearing no shame in looking for his own record while shopping in the US and admiring the titles in all their sweary goodness but alas, 'That Sh*t Don't Fly In The UK'.

Our friends at Pitchfork.tv are showing a special widescreen presentation recorded on 4th March at Avatar Studios in New York City of Alex and Miles stripping down…steady ladies, we mean 'musically', versions from their epic album 'The Age of the Understatement' and the up-close and personal footage really brings out the quality of the songs quite beautifully. Watch here.

Create your own Lightspeed Champion video or remix competition

Lightspeed Champion has teamed up with Qoob TV to challenge you budding creative types in both the realms of Sound and Vision and the chance to win some cash as well, ooow, wouldn't that be nice?

If you're all about Audio, all you need to do is download the Lightspeed Champion "sound-pack" of "Everyone Know Is Listening to Crunk". There you'll find all the sounds which compose the track, you can remix it, f@#k it up, mash it around and create something completely different.

The best remix, chosen by Qoob and Lightspeed Champion himself, will receive a special Domino pack with cds, limited merchandise and many other juicy bits and pieces.

If, on the contrary, it's Visuals that you thrive on, just download the mp3 of "Everyone I Know Is Listening to Crunk" from Lightspeed Champion's webpage on Qoob. Then get the inspiration you need to create his new video. The winner, chosen again by Dev and will be rewarded with a prize of 2,000 euros!

So go on, have a go, there's nothing to lose, unless…you're too chicken?

Competition ends 22nd June 2008, good luck y'all.

The Return Of Tricky
Image: Tricky
Domino is proud to announce the return of one of British music's most audacious artists – Tricky.

Following some anonymity living in the Bronx with his Jamaican cousins then moving to LA, setting up a record label and making a film amongst other things, Tricky returns with his most personal album to date.

'Knowle West Boy' is his first release in 5 years and sums up everything that Tricky has accomplished since his classic 1995 Maxinquaye debut. Underpinning it all is a theme of rediscovery… the American exile rediscovering his love of dear old Blighty; the veteran rediscovering the joy of making music; the experienced player rediscovering the struggle of being Knowle West’s very own Tricky Kid, the weird but defiant teen outsider who knew that with enough lust for life you could become a superstar.

Knowle West is the area of Bristol that Tricky grew up in, and the base of his new single 'Council Estate', a twisted Specials-worshipping punk celebration of self belief and you can see the awesome new video at www.knowlewestboy.com.

Get to know the 'Knowle West Boy' better as Tricky describes own raw and eloquent words his personal journey arriving at the album.

'Knowle West Boy' tells you everything you always wanted to know about Tricky, over music that still sounds like no-one else on earth.

Damn it's good to have him back.

'Council Estate' will be available digitally on the 23rd of June and physically on the 30th of June – his new album 'Knowle West Boy' is released on Monday the 7th of July 2008 and on the 9th September in the US of A.
