ロンドンを拠点とするプロデューサー
By this point, Loraine James needs little introduction. For much of the last decade, she has been one of London’s most consistently innovative and emotionally expressive club producers, building a reputation over a series of albums of questioning electronica, expert sound design, and shapeshifting beats, whether it’s the watercolour techno of records like For You and I (2019) and Reflection (2021), the Julius Eastman-homage Building Something Beautiful for Me (2022), or her extraordinary ambient work under the name Whatever the Weather. James is also one of the city’s most compelling live performers: a mind-expanding, pre-pandemic set at New River Studios—a hotspot for experimental and underground sound in the capital—was my first exposure to her work. Yet for all this output and critical adoration, she remains a somewhat cult figure whose music deserves more attention than it gets, especially beyond her home city.
