For what is ostensibly club music, Loraine James' productions can feel fiercely guarded. Many dancers and DJs favor smoothly paved superhighways to bliss; James' zig-zagging tracks are filled with potholes, speed bumps, and the occasional vertiginous bridge to nowhere. The London musician likes her beats jagged and her melodies slippery, and there's an abrasiveness to her work--club bangers and sofa chillers alike--that seems to warn: Don't get too comfortable.
