"In a collider of trance, progressive techno, and various rave tendrils, the British producer draws guests including Caroline Polachek, PinkPantheress, Oklou, Dua Lipa, and Clairo into a dance-pop maelstrom inspired, he says, by Andrei Tarkovsky's Stalker, Philip Glass' Einstein on the Beach, the video game series Dark Souls, and late Renaissance composers like Claudio Monteverdi and Thomas Tallis."
""The majority of the tracks on this record I do play regularly in my sets. But then there are a bunch-slower, weirder-that I don't usually play... or wait... maybe the point is that I'd only play them in the right club.""
""Daphni music is still music that I'm making primarily for the purpose of playing in my DJ sets,""
Danny L Harle's Cerulean mines dancefloor ecstasies and blends trance, progressive techno, and rave tendrils with guest vocalists Caroline Polachek, PinkPantheress, Oklou, Dua Lipa, and Clairo. Harle cites influences as diverse as Andrei Tarkovsky's Stalker, Philip Glass' Einstein on the Beach, the Dark Souls video games, and late Renaissance composers Claudio Monteverdi and Thomas Tallis. Dan Snaith's Daphni: Butterfly returns after four years with music primarily made for DJ sets, featuring both regularly played club tracks and slower, weirder pieces meant for the right venue. Death Grips report that writing and recording of a new album is underway following 2018's Year of the Snitch. Dry Cleaning's Secret Love juxtaposes the line "Don't give up on being sweet" with droll paranoia and sinister, scrappy riffs.
