Chris Hale was born and raised in L.A. California, and is currently based in Tokyo, Japan where he is an active DJ and producer. His tracks have dominated such global charts as Acid Planet, Broad Jam, and Sound Click. Chris’ tracks regularly top the house, tribal house, progressive house, and Detroit charts for weeks to months at a time. His music also gets regular play by club and radio DJ’s around the world as well as on underground radio. Chris DJ’s at clubs throughout Tokyo, and is the resident DJ at the monthly “Worship” party. He is a veteran re-mixer, most recently mixing tracks for Bitstream Dream (Om, Bedrock).

Since moving to Tokyo 6 years ago, and delving deep into the scene there, his sound has definitely expanded and grown, both as a producer and DJ. Tokyo has an amazingly vibrant underground scene that easily rivals any in the world. People go to clubs to lose themselves in the sound and to connect with people in ways that are socially forbidden in the light of day. It is in the sanctuary of darkness and deafening sound where people are free. When producing his EP “Dancers in the Womb,” Chris tried to re-create this energy he felt on the floor (while at a Tokyo club, not coincidentally called, “Womb”). It is this incredible scene that has most influenced his “sound”.

Chris’ “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.
