Inanna's novel and atmospheric sound has a melodic sense rare among her knob- twiddling contemporaries. She spares the glitch and tweaking in favor of something a little more organic, and emotional. While the latter may be a dirty word in electronic music, her music manages to trump any expectations of the tag, subtly giving some class to the concept. Beneath the surface of crystalline, alien textures lies a warm, undeniable human element.
Her precise, masterful mixing style has earned her quite the reputation for both creativity and raw talent. Her amalgam of heady ambience, jacking house, bass driven breakbeat, and minimal techno are sophisticated and surreal, showing an amazing diversity of style that The Freshpage describes as "works of art that need to be displayed in a music vault at an audiophile museum". While her recorded mix sets are most often experiments with found sound and hypnotic, dreamy soundscapes, conversely, her live performances serve up a high- energy, cutting, late-night warehouse vibe.
Inanna first gained notoriety in the late 90's as one of North America’s premiere Garage/2-Step DJs. DJ'ing at stateside Garage events, including a residency at one of the first Garage weeklies in the US, Inanna helped to establish the sound in the United States. Fast forward to the present, Inanna has watched and grown with the evolution of the Garage sound, continuing to be inspired by it basslines and broken beats. Her label imprint, La Folia Recordings, features past and future Dubstep releases, noting the 'Upon The Dew Drops EP' due out this Spring by An On Bast which features a dubstep collaborative remix by Inanna and Chris Ward of the Bassic crew, and an additional remix by heavyweight producer Douglas Greed. Inanna recently played a special 2-Step and Speed Garage set for Los Angeles's most successful and longest running Dubstep event, SMOG, at the legendary House Of Blues.
