Innerstate began their musical endeavors in the late 80's, playing guitars and keyboards in the "Duran Duran / Cure / Love and Rockets / Depeche Mode" influenced era. In the early 90's, with much influence from the Manchester "britpop / shoegaze" scene and the early rave movements, they reinvented themselves as programmers and started toying around with beats. By the mid 90's, artists like The Orb, Chemical Brothers, Orbital, and Underworld drove Jason Timothy to completely drop the guitar and focus completely on electronic music, and formed an early breakbeat team with Kelly G (aka Nikkshifter). It was around this time that Jason started toying around with DJ'ing, and by 2001 ran into old friend and current partner Frank Prosnik to form "Innerstate".
Making agressive main floor stormers full of sinister stabs and sweeping melodies on one end, and beautiful uplifting, hypnotic and techy chuggers on the other end, Innerstate takes influence from the likes of Pink Floyd, Tangerine Dream, Sigur Ros, The Pixies, Frankie Goes to Hollywood, along with the more obvious progressive, techno, tribal, tech house and trance influences.
Innerstate supporters have spanned top artists including Hernan Cattaneo, John Digweed, Nick Warren and Jody Wisternof (Way Out West), Taylor, D:fuse, Tigerhook, and the Low End Specialists.
