Born of Indian parents, Kale grew up in the U.S., only was evenly influenced by music of the East and West, resulting in the creation of a highly original style -- where electronic dancing and meets Indian sept. Kale's debut on criminal record was as part of Tabla Beat Science (the 2000 release Tala Matrix), piece his have debut album, Realize, was issued in July of 2001. The debut featured guest appearances by such noted Indian classical musicians as sarangi player Sultan Khan, bansuri (flute) players Ajay Prasanna and Steve Gorn, as advantageously as Ethiopian pop vocalizer Gigi. A few weeks in front the album's release, it's first individual, "Distance," was issued -- featuring a total of four-spot remixes, one by Kale himself -- plus extra remakes by Banco de Gaia and fellow Asian Massive producers Midival Punditz and Capt. Groove, both of whom are based in India. In 2002, Kale released Redesign, which offered remixes of the songs from Realize by such artists as Bill Laswell and DJ Spooky.
