Collection: BAILE
Reed Kackley, the Brooklyn-based producer operating under the moniker BAILE, makes texturally rich dance music inspired by house and downtempo. Over the past few years Kackley has released several EP’s — creating textured electronic compositions that blend foley recordings with warm analog synthesizers & either subtle vocal textures or full vocal performances from artists like Felicia Douglass (Dirty Projectors, Ava Luna), Kauf & Marie Kim (Blank Paper).
Additionally, he has been tapped to remix artists like Sasha, Beacon, Kauf, DRAMA & boerd. In turn his own tracks have been remixed by Tim Green, Baltra, Sasha & Anii. He has frequently received airplay from KCRW, Pete Tong & Danny Howard (BBC Radio 1), and coverage from sources like Mixmag, Clash, Fader, Deep House Amsterdam & When We Dip.
The last couple of years have found Kackley releasing music on Above & Beyond’s Anjunadeep, Sasha’s Last Night On Earth & Jonas Rathsman’s Elements. His single, ‘Amae’, was remixed by Sasha and included on his fabric 99 compilation. His forthcoming EP, ‘Winte’, is a melancholy mixture of synths, vocals & organic instrumentation set to textured percussion and enveloped by ambience recorded onto a handheld recorder.

On the subject of his creative process, BAILE explains:
“When I’m listening to music I find myself more drawn to individual sounds and textures within a song rather than the songs as a whole. During the writing process, I focus on juxtaposing raw elements with synthetic ones, creating something that can feel crisp and clean but also organic and natural.”
