Shpongle's first track, "Vapour Rumours", was released on TIP Records' Infinite Excursions compilation in 1996. Their debut album, Are You Shpongled?, was released in 1998 on Twisted Records. On 9 September 2014, Posford confirmed beginning work on a sixth album, which was eventually announced as Codex VI and set for release in October 2017. On 3 October, even before the release of Codex VI, the duo announced via a Facebook video that they have begun working on their seventh studio album.
Posford is generally responsible for the synthesizers, studio work, and live instrumentation, while Raja Ram contributes broad musical concepts and flute arrangements. Raja Ram stated in an interview that "Shpongle" is an umbrella term for feeling positive and euphoric emotions. Shpongle's music is heavily influenced by psychedelic experiences and frequently makes use of sonic textures that approximate psychedelic states as well as vocal samples relating to consciousness expansion, hallucinations, and altered states of awareness. For example, the track "A New Way to Say 'Hooray'", contains a vocal sample of Terence McKenna describing the effects of DMT.

Shpongle Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴
Canto, meu amor
Tu és fixe
És muito bom
The lyrics of Shpongle's "Dorset Perception" may seem like a jumble of random words, but they actually hold a deeper meaning. The song's title is a reference to the philosophy of perception, which explores how different senses perceive and interpret the world around us.
The opening phrase "Desafinada" means "out of tune." This may represent a sense of disorientation or a blurring of reality in the singer's perception. The following phrase "Canto, meu amor" translates to "I sing, my love," which may indicate that music or art is a way for the singer to make sense of their experience.
The final two lines, "Tu és fixe / És muito bom" may be an affirmation of the stability and goodness in the singer's life. "Tu és fixe" essentially means "you are fixed" or "you are stable," while "És muito bom" means "it's very good." This could be a reflection on the beauty and wonder of life, even in the midst of confusion and chaos.

listening to this in the dark standing in the middle of a blizzard is amazing

Standing on a sunlit beach, eyes closed,
whilst imagining standing in the dark
in the middle of another blizzard
feels quite amazing as well.
