   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.
