A song is a mini time machine that allows you to drift back to the moment where you got the girl, you laughed until you cried or you played air guitar without conviction because the solo is just that good. T.I.M.E. is a local group that combines hip hop with an alternative sound while never forgetting the classics. This group stays true to their love of music, the lyrics and the sense of being in the now. It is crucial to remember what a song is about. The structure of the beats. The meaning of the lyrics. The uncontrollable feeling that takes over the body every time even the first few cords play. This is what music is about and that is the message that T.I.M.E. tries to carry with them where ever they go. Love what you do and do it to your fullest ability.

A Brief History
T.I.M.E.’s unique sound and original style come from its two unique members. Tom Mattingly a.k.a. InSaNi-T has always had a passion for music, especially hip hop. Since 1991, he has been a devote student of the hip hop world to the point of a historian. In 1999, InSaNi-T began composing lyrics in the simple single syllable rhyme scheme to today’s elaborate precision craftsmanship of a Machinist. In 2001, InSaNi-T began recording mix tapes with DJ KZA, HoopStar, and others on KZA’s tape deck and turntables. Shortly after, InSaNi-T obtained a PC, began producing and recording, and in September 2003, T.I.M.E.’s Double LP “Abstract Insanity” was released. In 2008, Josh Garza a.k.a. Bile was added to the roster to perfect the group. From the time he was old enough to walk; it was easy to see that music would play a major roll in his life. Bile’s family exposed him to such a wide variety of genres that his eclectic style amazes both young and old alike. Since then, T.I.M.E. has worked countless hours to build their own studio, build an unstoppable network of artist, and continued to spit the ill raps. Ninety percent of the shows we play; we book, manage, supply equipment, mix sound, and perform. Now with the release of InSaNi-T’s debut solo, “My Thoughts (and other such Lunacy), the future never looked so bright. With hits like “Take my Breath Away, Wonderful World, and Adjust, the talent is undeniable, the skill is clear, and the attention will follow. There’s nothing out there even comparable to this truly original act.
