Chris Hale's "sound" is actually difficult to describe, but some have called
it "dark soul" music - dark atmospheres fused with soulful rhythms. His
music pushes simplified genre labels in order to avoid the constraints
associated with pre-conceived definitions. When his music is smooth, it's
oh so very smooth. It slides against the skin like silk until it settles,
blending in and becoming a soothing second skin. It's hypnotic and
seductive. And classing it as chill-out or come-down music is selling it
well short. And when he wants to play rough.the beats get downright nasty
without ever being heavy handed or in your face.



You never quite know what to expect when a Chris Hale track starts. The
instrumentation he deploys gives each track its own unique texture, flavour
and mood. Add a mix of beats and FX and the effect can be lush, as skilful
as a Geisha, as sharp as a Kissaki, as precise as Kanji or as hard and swift
as a Kendo kick. The end result is one of aural perfection.
