Upon moving to New York, Jenner says it was then that he was exposed to dance music. The New York music scene influenced his band's sound, which is often described as a fusion of indie rock and disco.

Jenner and The Rapture cite their early inspirations as PIL, Television, Rocket From The Crypt, Gang Of Four and Chrome. As their musical style shifted more towards the dance genre, they saw Chic, The Byrds, The Happy Mondays and Timbaland as musical influences.
