    Chale News November 2003

    My remix for BeatLevel, "Dark Soul (Pubik's Dark Hole Mix)," has been well received in the charts, getting to #2 (my other track, EX:TC, was holding at #1 at the time, so it couldn't get to the top spot- I really hate myself sometimes;) And their mix of my track "Dancers" is currently charging up the Progressive House charts- congrats to them!

    I have been contacted by two independent film producers this month (one from Detroit, another from a film school in Germany) about using some of my music in their films. I'm looking forward to "seeing" my tracks on the screen sometime soon.

    I have been getting some radio play here in Japan on a station in Yamagata after a friend of mine played my trip hop track "Slow and Low" for some of the station staff. Nice to know I am easing the morning commute a little bit. And off in Denmark some of my tribal tracks have popped-up on the playlist of a radio show called "Club Basement."

    October was my first gig at the club Prestage in Ishioka Japan, and it now seems it will be turning into a bi-monthly residency. The club owner was impressed enough with my mix of deep, tribal house and techno to ask me to become a regular DJ. You can see pictures of the event on my (still budding) web site Pubik.com.

    As always, much respect to all the artists who have given me comments on my stuff. Below you can see a review section, with links to those artists who took the time to throw some props my way!

    Chale Reviews

    Review of "Dancers in the Womb"
    "I really like 'Dancers in the Womb'! It is VERY dark, but I love the way the tribal percs and bassline keep it grooving! (It reminds me of some cool underground clubs in Stuttgart.) Great track and I hope we hear more!!"
    Review by Hominis X

    General Review
    "I believe that Chris Hale is a part of a visionary movement here at mp3.com. I like all the tracks I've listened to but especially the Detroit track "Blue" which is awesome and very soothing. I love how the underground electronic movement has gelled here at mp3 with artists(like Chris) who create music that exceeds corporate artists proficiency and has been astounding me for some time now. "Listen Chris"!!!

    Review of "Dancers in the Womb"
    "Hey Chris, just wanted to say I really like that 'Dancers in the Womb' track. Nice dark minimal vibe,real good stuff. I put you on our links list of artists we like..."
    Review by BeatLevel

    Review of "Slow and Low"
    "A class track from Chris Hale, my personal favorite from his selection.The track opens with a nice and warm analogue pad setting the scene, while the background pad and percussion build up to the main loop, before long the track then breaks into a driving King of Woolworth's style groove that set things up nicely for the main breakdown which then goes into a downtempo acid jazzy type affair with some off-chordal stuff on the synth line. I think this track is damn fine with good progression throughout the track and a nice atmosphere."
    Review by Liquid Recordings

    Review of "Listen Chris"
    "...Just wanted to say I like your style- super cool. I found your site through 'Listen,Chris', probably the results of a narcissistic trip or something! I will definately check out some more of your tunes..."
    Review by Kspace

    Review of "CADY"
    "...I'm always looking for interesting music because I make films with kids in a grade school. I could use music like "cady" to stretch thier imaginations (close your eyes, listen, what can you see happening with music like this ...) Keep up the great work!"
    Review by Jim Atkinson

    Review of "4AM"
    "A dark,minimal soundscape from Chris Hale opening really well with a rich,brooding atmosphere which builds into a lurking chord progression and then some percussive noise spiraling downward before finally closing the soundscape with an eerie sample of a women's voice saying 'i love you'.This track has an impressive vibe to it with a deep emotive edge that's truly inspiring."
    Review by Liquid Recordings

    General Review
    "Hey man, i just checked out your stuff, and it sounds really good, i dig the jazzy stuff, and your tribal deep house track, 'Dancers in the Womb,' is nice and dark, i would definitely do more. Cool, it's still #1 in tribal house, i just noticed i have a #1 song in trip-hop too =)..."

    A mix of Bitstream Dream's awsome progressive house original. I took a more aggressive, hard- edged take on it. According to Bitstream Dream, I beat the hell out of his track...But in a good way.

    This is my remix of BeatLevel's sublime track, "Dark Soul". This was a hard track to make because I really like the original a lot. As eerie and minimal as the original was, I managed to take this version even further into the dark abyss. You can check out the original by clicking BL's link in the "Reviews" section to the left.

    Pure, minimal, tribal progressive house. This is the real sh*t. The track verges on techno at times because the percussion is so tightly programmed and there is only one short break. Believe it or not, this track clocks in at only 126 bpm.

    My first attempt at tribal progressive house, and the track that really opened things up for me at MP3.com. THE WOMB is actually the name of a club in Tokyo I go to. I kept it dark and driving, just the way we all like it.
