The group includes Simon Posford (a.k.a. Hallucinogen) and Raja Ram (one of three in The Infinity Project). The duo are considered to be one of the progenitors of the psybient genre - a genre combining world music with psychedelic trance and ambient. Their musical style combines traditional music from all over the globe and vocals with contemporary western synthesizer-based psychedelic music. When asked to describe Shpongle's music, Posford has responded that it is "like nothing you've ever heard before."
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.

A wise man once said there will be true peace once the world has been shpongled.
@nosense2068
That... God, it makes too much sense lol
@GsQDoom
There will be true peace when there's nothing left to experience peace.
@tethelon
The first time I heard this album, I said to myself, "I've been waiting my whole life for this." Thank you for such a wonderful journey. This is what its all about.
@fez7115
totally different world! love it. another level of imagination...
@Beatnikvids
Raja Ram said those exact same words during when Shpongle headlined Rainbow Serpent Festival in his home country in 2011.
@PsyTranceEventsWorldwide
I thought he same love it
@psydwaindah
It's like a deep need finally satiated, isn't it? Like coming up for air after being underwater for far too long and getting not only fresh air but also a gigantic hit on the mother of all blunts...
@lopes4012
Exactly

I believe the album begins with world's last Kauaʻi ʻōʻō bird singing. He was the last member of the species and we recorded him singing his mating song when no females were there to hear it anymore. Sad and beautiful symbolism that fits this album very well.
