Justin Hale

Justin Hale eagerly anticipates returning to the hallowed grounds of the 25th Shambhala Music Festival, a tradition he's cherished for over two decades. As a stalwart resident DJ of the legendary Fractal Forest, Justin's musical journey has been intertwined with the pulse of this electrifying festival. His crowning moment came with the distinct honour of closing out the festival and setting the stage before Rich-e-Rich on Monday mornings, each year adding another chapter to his storied Shambhala legacy. Part dance floor conductor, part ringmaster of a sonic circus, Justin crafts a soundtrack that defies boundaries, blending the pulsating rhythms of house and breaks with eclectic club and world vibes. Despite scaling back his performances to just a handful each year, the allure of playing in the enchanting forest on the Salmo River Ranch remains the highlight of his musical endeavours. Nestled in the quaint town of Port Dalhousie, Ontario, Justin Hale continues to shape the soundscape of Shambhala and beyond with his infectious energy and boundless passion for music.
