A cult classic on Warp Records from James Stinson aka The Other People Place, Lifestyles Of The Laptop Café is a tender, futuristic take on Detroit-rooted electro and downtempo romance.

Released in 2001, the album channels a distinctly late-night intimacy - soft-focus melodies, crisp machine funk and wistful chords that feel both intimate and otherworldly. Across these tracks, The Other People Place balances elegant electro rhythms with bittersweet harmonies and hazy atmospheric detail, creating a uniquely human mood beneath the circuitry.

From the understated glide of Eye Contact and It’s Your Love to the dreamy drift of Moonlight Rendezvous and Sunrays, this is electronic music that feels like a private world - warm, melancholic and quietly euphoric. A timeless LP that sits at the intersection of Detroit electro, bedroom soul and sci-fi pop, and one of Warp’s most quietly beloved releases.
