For over a decade, Danny L Harle has lent his vision to some of pop’s most inventive artists – from producing Caroline Polachek’s Pang to working on tracks with Charli xcx, Clairo, Lil Uzi Vert and many more. While he has found it fulfilling to work with so many of his favourite artists, Harle realised over time there was something missing. “I felt like there was a statement of my own I wasn't making, and realised the clear answer was just to make that statement. All I want to do is make music I want to hear,” he says.

It’s with this attitude that he welcomes Cerulean into his discography, a trance-inflected, electronic-orchestral debut that feels like coming into consciousness on the shore of a desert island, only to then find yourself sweaty and euphoric on a sticky, blue-lit European dancefloor. -Dazed
