Loraine James is a groundbreaking electronic music producer and composer from London, United Kingdom, whose work has swiftly positioned her as one of the most innovative voices in the contemporary UK electronic scene. Drawing on a wide array of influences, from IDM, glitch, and ambient to R&B and jazz, James crafts intricate, emotionally resonant soundscapes that reflect her experiences as a queer, Black British woman. Her breakout album "For You and I," released on Hyperdub in 2019, earned widespread critical acclaim for its bold production, intimate lyricism, and fearless exploration of identity and memory.
Building on her early experimentation with music software as a teenager and formal studies in music technology, James’s output since has continued to push boundaries with releases such as "Reflection" and "Building Something Beautiful for Me," in which she reimagines the works of Julius Eastman. Widely celebrated for her innovative live performances and collaborations, Loraine James combines vulnerability and technical prowess to create music that is as intellectually challenging as it is deeply personal, inspiring a new generation of electronic musicians in the UK and beyond.
