PC Music's Danny L Harle: "I'm basically just listening to happy hardcore" - SXSW 2016

PC Music alum Danny L Harle has been setting Radio 1 alight lately with ‘Broken Flowers’, the pristine pop earworm that helped put the PC Music collective on the map back in 2013. We caught up with “huuuuge Danny” at this year’s SXSW to talk about the single’s unexpected success, how he’s only really listening to happy hardcore and reflecting what the listening process actually feels like.
