Danny L Harle today drops new single, “Azimuth”, the track features vocals from Caroline Polachek. The pair have been working together since Polachek’s 2019 solo album Pang.

Danny L Harle on “Azimuth”:

“‘Azimuth’ felt like the finalisation of an approach that Caroline and I had been orbiting for some time as a way of putting her voice into my music – I sometimes call it the ‘trance siren.’ You can hear manifestations of it in tracks like “Insomnia” from Pang and “On The Beach” from Death Stranding 2, but this was the first time I managed to translate it into my style of dance music. Azimuth’s melody could only have been sung by Caroline, it is designed around her voice, I couldn’t imagine anyone else singing it or giving a performance like that. It also allowed us to play with scale, space and quietness in a way I’ve never done before. For me, “Azimuth” is a trance ballad, despairing but hopeful, best heard in a in club in a sunken cathedral”

“Azimuth” is the follow-up to “Starlight”, Danny L Harle’s recent collaboration with PinkPantheress. The first Danny L Harle release since 2021’s Harlecore album. “Starlight” was also Harle’s first release for new label home XL Recordings, further evolved via Torus’ Starlight Divergence ambient mixtape, and marked a bold new chapter in a career defined by sonic innovation, heartfelt maximalism and genre-defying vision.
