London-based electronic producer Loraine James has quickly emerged as an exciting new voice in the underground electronic community with her adventurous take on IDM, grime, bass, and experimental club styles. Part of Hyperdub Records' cutting-edge roster, this past October she followed up her innovative 2019 debut album For You And I with Nothing, an expansive 4-track EP that showcased her visionary production techniques and collaborative spirit with guest appearances by Uruguayan musician Lila Tirando a Violeta, Iranian-born, Liverpool-based rapper Tardast and HTRK’s Jonnine Standish.
Loraine's guest DJ mix for Midnight In A Perfect World is an exceptionally diverse and expansive journey that provides surprising glimpses into what's been catching her ears over the years. Alongside the intricate and cerebral electronic productions of Autechre, Dntel, and FaltyDL, Loraine sneaks in some emo rock, math rock, angsty hip-hop, and whimsical indie pop for a refreshingly varied set.
