High Voltage started out at a halls of residence bar in Manchester in Spring 2003. The aim was to provide a platform for local musicians at a time when Manchester was still suffering from an Oasis hangover.
At present (early 2009) we are re-designing the website to give you a more comprehensive view of Manchester music as as well as buzz bands from across the world who we think will take off this year. There's also plans to reignite the record label in some form we haven't quite decided on. Anyway, these are exciting times.
Here's a reminder of some of the acts we've hosted gigs by to show you how serious we are about promoting new music....

Simian Mobile Disco (live)
Wild Beasts

SOME OLD POSTERS FROM AWESOME SHOWS WE'VE HOSTED...
What a tasty musical year this was! To mark the first anniversary of Tasty Bytes Records, we offer you this compilation that revisits the tracks that stood out in our opinion or that had the most impact during our first year. Includes tracks and remixes by: Omni, Alice and the Serial Numbers, Valerna, Push Rec+Play, Nick Bugayev, Nite Cells and Mateo Murphy.
Exclusively on Beatport for 30 days, then it will be out on most major music download sites.

Side 2 Cold Pumas - Day Monk Night Monk [exclusive track] La La Vasquez - Don't Rush Me The Hipshakes - Not Like I've Had Before Egyptian Hip Hop - Rad Pitt
We have put a new song up for you, it’s only a rough demo which hasn’t really been mixed well and hasn’t been produced but it will give you a taster of what may come next in our next recording sessions which we are trying to set before Christmas.
Enjoy! It’s called 'Stop'. Please tell us what you think.

Grouper (US) has her latest – Dragging A Dead Deer Up A Hill – of three albums on Type Records. She has also been involved in collaborative releases, contributing a track to Xiu Xiu’s Remixed & Covered and four tracks to a split release with Inca Ore. Her other contemporaries are Belong, Growing, Tim Hecker, Windy & Carl and Atlas Sound.
Jasper TX (Sweden), with a hefty back-catalogue of releases on labels such as Miasmah, and collaborations with buddy Machinefabriek, is an essential domestic appliance in the household of conceptual music. He is comparable to artists Fennesz, Sigur Ros, Múm and Tape.
Intricate and atmospheric songsmith, Danny Saul (UK) performs with different combinations of musicians, making each gig a unique event. His forthcoming release is "Harsh, Final", and he also performs with Greg Haines as Liondialer.
Fieldhead (UK) music delights in tape hiss, bleak landscapes and decaying analogue loops. He is also a member of The Declining Winter and Glissando. His debut album, "They Shook Hands for Hours" is released soon on Home Assembly.
This is the first set from the slightly tweaked Beach Fuzz line-up with Fliss Horrocks now playing guitar alongside Tom Settle and Nick Mitchell. Seven tracks of clattering drums, chugging and wailing guitars, screaming keyboards, mellow, lilting pastoral improv and moaned vocals.
