Danny L Harle Releases New Song “Azimuth” featuring Caroline Polachek
London-based music producer Danny L Harle teamed up with his long-time collaborator and American singer-songwriter Caroline Polachek to release a new song “Azimuth” on October 2, 2025.
This marks the first collaboration in two years between Danny L Harle and Caroline Polachek, since Caroline Polachek's 2023 album “Desire, I Want to Turn Into You”.
For Danny L Harle, the song is the follow-up to Starlight featuring British singer-songwriter PinkPantheress, which was released back in July.
It is the first release under his new label XL Recordings.
The track was written by Caroline Polachek, and Danny L Harle, who also produced it.
Danny L Harle said of the song, “‘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.”- He continued, “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.”
