“PC Music was just two guys in a room making stuff and uploading it to the internet - that’s where it starts”: Danny L Harle on self-discovery, success and helping unsigned artists find their sound

PRODUCER WEEK 2025: Launching his career as a founding member of the enduringly influential but now-defunct PC Music collective, Danny L Harle has become one of pop music’s most visionary talents.

Having worked with an extensive list of artists that includes Charli XCX, Chic and Caroline Polachek, Harle was a co-writer and co-producer on Dua Lipa’s chart-topping 2024 album Radical Optimism and most recently masterminded Olly Alexander’s Polari. He's also a prolific remixer and a less-than-prolific solo artist, having released his debut full-length project, the ‘90s rave-inspired concept album Harlecore, in 2021.
