Their music has been extraordinarily well received by connoisseurs within the ambient/psybient scenes and well beyond.
CBL aim to combine earth and space in their music, using the combination of nature and technology as the main inspiration for their work.They have played all over Europe and the US including many festival appearances such as Symbiosis (US), Anthropos (UK) and Ozora (Hungry) and played 2 consecutive sold out shows in London in 2023. This will be the first time Carbon Based Lifeforms have played Manchester.
Brighton, London and Manchester are their only planned UK shows for 2025.
Manchester support comes from Shunt Voltage. From northern shires Shunt Voltage manufacture electronic beats where once industrial giants manufactured goods for the World.
Their tracks are a combination of grooves, effects and samples jammed together against a backdrop of acid infused beats. Tracks are mixed live on the fly resulting in something unique every time they play.
The duo have played a sold out show at The Social W1 (London), supported Curses and played the famous Golden Lion. They supported Banco de Gaia at Hebden Bridge Trades Club and will be supporting Banco de Gaia again in Manchester September ‘24. In turn they have been supported by Templehead (Megadog) and Stash Magnetic.
They have released on Heavenly Records, Paisley Dark and Tici Taci and amongst others being remixed by The Sons of Slough, Duncan Gray, Adult DVD and A Space Age Freak Out. Shunt Voltage have recently completed a remix for a Children of the Bong project.
