Danny L Harle

Harle released his debut album Harlecore (2021) through the label Mad Decent, featuring collaborations with Polachek, Hudson Mohawke, and Lil Data.

[2] He played the cello as a child but did not have a strong interest in music until age 12, when he learned bass guitar after discovering bands like Slipknot and Madness.

[3] One of their earlier works is a collection of compositions for the Disklavier reproducing piano, released with Spencer Noble and Tim Phillips under the name "Dux Consort".

[5] They contributed to the score for Alicia Norman's animated film Heart of Death and began considering a children's television show titled Dux Content's Jungle Jam.

Harle and Cook explored how to build rhythms out of a vocalist's natural singing tempo and released the results as "Dux Kidz".

After producer Enchanté invited him to perform at a gallery in Stroud, Harle felt guilty at the prospect of playing music by other artists.

"[3] "Broken Flowers" uses rapid trance arpeggios, an organ bassline, and synthesiser parts similar to work by video game composers Koji Kondo and Nobuo Uematsu.

[18] On 6 May 2016, Harle released the single "Ashes of Love" via PC Music, featuring guest vocals from Caroline Polachek, who was at the time half of the American indie pop duo Chairlift.

In 2021, Harle announced his debut full-length solo album Harlecore for release on February 26 of that same year through Mad Decent, alongside the singles "Boing Beat", "On a Mountain", "Interlocked" and "Ocean's Theme".

The track is the lead single for Lipa's third album, Radical Optimism, with Harle's production receiving praise for its "drive and loony spark".

Together, they have a daughter, Nico, born in November 2018; her voice was used in the Caroline Polachek song "Bunny Is a Rider", a track Harle produced.
