Daniel Eisner Harle is a British music producer and composer who records under the alias Danny L Harle. He is signed to the London-based PC Music label and is a member of Dux Content with A. G. Cook. His songs have been described as among the more chart-friendly work from the offbeat label.
Harle is the son of saxophonist John Harle and has an older brother Matthew. He played the cello as a child but did not have a strong interest in music. At the age of 12, Harle learned bass guitar after discovering bands like Slipknot and Madness. He picked up free jazz and participated in the Royal Academy of Music's junior jazz group. In 2006, John Harle recorded Daniel's song "Caesar Hath Wept" with the Duke Quartet.
Harle went to Goldsmiths, University of London to study classical music. He began recording campy electronic music in 2010, influenced by Scandinavian skweee music. His thesis was chamber music that combined traditional musical instruments with video game consoles playing The Legend of Zelda: Ocarina of Time and Street Fighter II: The World Warrior.
While at Goldsmiths, Harle reconnected with A. G. Cook, with whom he had attended school as a teenager. The two bonded over their shared musical tastes and interest in comedy duo Tim & Eric. This grew into a musical project called Dux Content. Since they did not have a vocalist, Dux Content focused on musical experiments like compound metres and changes in tempo. One of their earlier works was a collection of compositions for the Disklavier reproducing piano, released with Spencer Noble and Tim Phillips under the name "Dux Consort". Dux Content released its songs with strange renderings of digital avatars for promotional artwork. They contributed to the score for Alicia Norman's animated film Heart of Death and began considering a children's television show titled Dux Content's Jungle Jam. Harle and Cook explored how to build rhythms out of a vocalist's natural singing tempo and released the results as "Dux Kidz".
