PC Music
PC Music is a British independent record label and artist collective founded in 2013 by producer A. G. Cook in London, renowned for pioneering a hyper-synthetic strain of experimental electronic pop that blends elements of happy hardcore, J-pop, K-pop, vocaloid, and internet-era aesthetics into slick, playful, and often abrasive soundscapes.[1][2][3] Emerging from the online music scene, the label initially distributed its music for free via SoundCloud, eschewing traditional signing contracts in favor of a loose collective model that blurred the lines between art, parody, and commercial pop.[2][3] Cook, a Goldsmiths University music graduate who developed a computer-only production manifesto during his studies, established PC Music as a platform for boundary-pushing electronic music that satirized and celebrated digital identity and consumer culture.[4] The label quickly gained attention in 2014 for tracks like SOPHIE's "Bipp" and "Elle," which featured metallic pings, helium-soaked vocals, and trance stabs, earning spots on Pitchfork's top songs list and sparking debates over whether PC Music represented the future of pop or a contemptuous parody of it.[2][3] Early releases, including Hannah Diamond's "Pink and Blue" and Danny L Harle's "Broken Flowers," exemplified the collective's ironic yet earnest approach, drawing influences from 8-bit chiptunes, Eskibeat, and Windows-era sounds to create a futuristic, manufactured vibe.[2][3] The roster has included core artists such as Hannah Diamond, GFOTY (Girlfriend of the Year), QT, easyFun, and the Lipgloss Twins, alongside affiliates like SOPHIE and collaborators including Charli XCX, whose work with Cook on albums like How I'm Feeling Now (2020) extended PC Music's postmodern, genre-clashing influence into mainstream pop.[3][4] PC Music's output, often divisive for its ultra-synthetic and nostalgic qualities, reshaped the 2010s electronic landscape by dominating online discourse and inspiring the hyperpop genre, with tracks blending Eurodance nostalgia and post-ironic humor.[2][4] Compilations like PC Music Volume 1 (2015) and Volume 3 (2022) showcased this intimate, honest experimentation, prioritizing emotional depth amid abrasive production.[5] In June 2023, marking its 10th anniversary, PC Music announced that 2023 would be its final year for new releases. Since then, the label has shifted focus to archival projects, reissues, and preserving its legacy through a celebratory 100-minute playlist that highlighted its decade-defining contributions to experimental pop.[1] Despite limited commercial success, the label's innovative sound and cultural impact continue to influence contemporary music, with Cook maintaining creative ties through collaborations like those with Charli XCX and efforts to honor SOPHIE's legacy, alongside recent reissues such as the 2025 vinyl edition of Month of Mayhem.[4][6][7]Origins and Background
Founding and Establishment
PC Music was founded on 25 June 2013 by British producer and songwriter A. G. Cook in London, marking the launch with the release of the debut single "Bobby" by GFOTY.[8] This date coincided with the label's first digital upload to SoundCloud, establishing its presence in the underground electronic music scene.[9] A. G. Cook, a recent graduate of Goldsmiths, University of London's music computing program, served as the label's primary visionary and driving force.[10] Having previously explored experimental pop through personal projects and a short-lived imprint called Gamsonite, Cook sought to create a space for intimate, computer-generated music that blurred the lines between amateur and professional production.[10] His background as a self-taught producer, influenced by a mix of internet culture and mainstream pop, positioned him to helm PC Music as both artist and curator, embracing an A&R role to record emerging talents.[9] From its inception, PC Music operated as a micro-label with a strong DIY ethos, prioritizing low-overhead digital releases over physical formats or major distribution deals.[10] Initial output focused on platforms like SoundCloud for streaming and Bandcamp for downloads, enabling direct artist-to-audience connections without intermediaries.[11] Early tracks often featured anonymous or pseudonymous artists, fostering an air of intrigue and community-driven experimentation that defined the label's grassroots approach.[9]Initial Aesthetic and Philosophy
PC Music's initial aesthetic was characterized by a vibrant, hyper-saturated visual language that drew heavily from bubblegum pop traditions, featuring exaggerated femininity through motifs like sparkling accessories, doe-eyed avatars, and hyper-feminine poses often embodied in artists such as Hannah Diamond.[12][6] This style extended to branding elements like pastel color palettes—dominated by pinks, blues, and yellows—combined with low-poly 3D graphics and meme-inspired imagery, evoking a digital dreamworld that blurred the lines between nostalgia for early 2000s internet culture and futuristic whimsy.[13][12] These visuals served not merely as decoration but as an integral part of the label's hyperpop ethos, amplifying the playful yet dystopian undertones of its music through accessible, shareable online formats.[14] At its philosophical core, PC Music sought to blend high and low culture by merging the polished sheen of mainstream pop with experimental, subversive elements, employing irony and pastiche to critique and celebrate consumerist tropes like vapid lyrics about beauty and excess.[12][13] Founder A.G. Cook envisioned the label as a space without rigid dogma, instead fostering a shared attitude of risk-taking and exploration, where "normal people can be pop stars" by embracing extreme, unfiltered creativity.[13] This approach dissolved traditional binaries—such as human versus machine or accessible versus avant-garde—treating music software as a prosthetic extension of the artist, enabling infinite possibilities and personal expression.[14] Cook's intent was explicitly to subvert mainstream pop conventions through surrealism and radical accessibility, creating a "cheekily monolithic" framework that parodied pop's formulas while inviting broad participation via bedroom production and streaming platforms.[13][6] By prioritizing an atmosphere of ambiguity and postmodern schizophrenia, PC Music challenged listeners to engage with pop's present moment, pushing boundaries without alienating audiences through its ironic yet inclusive lens.[12][14]Historical Development
Early Years and Growth (2013–2016)
PC Music emerged in 2013 when founder A. G. Cook began uploading the label's inaugural tracks to SoundCloud, marking the start of its experimental pop output. Among the earliest releases was Dux Content's "Like You" on July 3, which was one of the first official singles under the PC Music banner, contributing to the label's initial underground momentum.[15] Hannah Diamond's debut single "Pink and Blue" followed in October 2013, showcasing the label's signature blend of glossy, hyperreal aesthetics and introducing Diamond as a key vocalist.[16] These SoundCloud drops quickly attracted a niche audience drawn to the ironic, futuristic soundscapes, laying the groundwork for the label's cult status. By 2014, PC Music expanded its roster with signings like GFOTY, whose satirical rap style debuted with tracks such as "I Wanna B A Baller" the following year, and affiliates like Kero Kero Bonito, whose work blended J-pop influences with electronic production. This period saw the formation of an extended family of affiliated artists, including producers Danny L Harle and easyFun, fostering a collaborative network that blurred lines between label mates and loose associates. The emphasis on digital distribution via SoundCloud amplified their reach, generating international buzz through viral shares and blog coverage in electronic music circles.[12] The label's growth accelerated in 2015 with the release of the compilation PC Music Volume 1 on May 2, which curated tracks from core artists including Hannah Diamond's "Every Night," A. G. Cook's "Beautiful," GFOTY's "USA," Danny L Harle's "In My Dreams," and Kero Kero Bonito's "Heartsong."[17] Available initially as a free download on Bandcamp, the compilation solidified PC Music's aesthetic identity and drew widespread acclaim for its subversive take on pop, leading to high-profile showcases like their U.S. debut at SXSW that March.[18] Through relentless online promotion and word-of-mouth in global forums, the label cultivated a devoted following by 2016, transitioning from obscure SoundCloud uploads to a recognized force in avant-pop.[19]Expansion and Peak (2017–2022)
The release of PC Music Volume 2 on November 18, 2016, served as a pivotal compilation that amplified the label's visibility, gathering ten tracks—many previously issued singles—from its roster and reinforcing the hyper-digital, ironic pop aesthetic established in earlier years.[20] This collection, featuring contributions from artists like Hannah Diamond, Danny L Harle, and A. G. Cook, drew acclaim for maturing the label's sound while maintaining its playful edge, helping to transition PC Music from underground curiosity to a more widely discussed force in electronic music by early 2017.[21] A key driver of the label's expansion was its deepening ties to mainstream pop through collaborations with Charli XCX, whose projects under A. G. Cook's production brought PC Music's glitchy, maximalist style to broader audiences. Cook executive produced XCX's 2017 mixtape Pop 2, a genre-blending effort that Pitchfork described as the strongest full-length output from both the artist and the label to date, blending club energy with emotional vulnerability.[22] This partnership extended into 2020 with Cook helming XCX's quarantine-recorded album how i'm feeling now, which integrated PC Music's experimental production—characterized by fragmented beats and synthetic textures—into introspective pandemic-era pop, earning praise for its innovative urgency.[14][23] These works not only elevated PC Music's profile but also influenced subsequent hyperpop trends. The period reached its creative zenith with PC Music Volume 3 on May 13, 2022, the label's first compilation in six years, which mixed archival hits from 2018–2021 with unreleased tracks to encapsulate its evolving legacy.[24] Pitchfork lauded the release for finally realizing the label's promise of a cohesive, forward-looking snapshot amid its most active phase.[5] Complementing this, PC Music artists undertook international tours and festival appearances, including a 2017 set at London's Field Day Festival and a 2022 showcase at Barcelona's Primavera Sound, fostering global fan engagement.[25] Media outlets like The Guardian and Pitchfork provided extensive coverage, with the former noting in 2021 how PC Music's ironic revival of noughties pop elements was reshaping contemporary sounds.[26]Transition to Archival Focus (2023–Present)
In June 2023, PC Music announced that the year would mark the end of new music releases after a decade of operation, shifting the label's focus to preservation and reflection. The statement, posted on the label's official website, emphasized a deliberate closure to honor its foundational era rather than allowing it to fade ambiguously.[1] From 2024 onward, PC Music pivoted exclusively to archival projects, including special reissues and enhanced editions of its catalog, as articulated by founder A.G. Cook. Cook described the decision as pragmatic, noting the need to act as a "guardian" of the label's output amid the music industry's haphazard archiving practices, ensuring key tracks remain accessible without relying on precarious digital downloads. He highlighted artistic evolution as a driving factor, viewing the transition as a boundary that allows his personal work to extend beyond PC Music's defined hyperpop aesthetic while maintaining its cultural impact. This shift also addressed the unsustainable economics of running an independent label, prioritizing legacy over ongoing production.[27][28] By 2025, PC Music's archival efforts included the expanded vinyl reissue of its 2017 compilation Month of Mayhem, released in October as a limited-edition picture disc featuring a new track by Kane West and celebrating over 2,400 days of the label's influence through hypnotic artwork. In October 2025, the label presented the "Pop Crypt" event in New York, featuring artists like Hannah Diamond and Kane West, to celebrate its legacy through live performances.[29] The label's website serves as a central digital archive, hosting the full catalog, a 100-minute anniversary playlist blending past and present tracks, and resources for ongoing preservation. These initiatives underscore a commitment to sustainability, enabling fans and scholars to engage with PC Music's history without new output diluting its core identity.[7][30]Musical Style and Influences
Core Sound Elements
PC Music's sonic identity is defined by high-pitched vocals that mimic the exaggerated, youthful exuberance of Japanese tween pop, often processed to sound ethereal and detached from natural timbre. These vocals frequently incorporate excessive auto-tune, pushing the effect to extremes that amplify an artificial, hyper-real quality, transforming singing into a stylized, robotic performance.[3] This vocal treatment aligns with the label's glossy electronic textures, achieved through meticulous software polishing that renders sounds shiny and manufactured, evoking a sense of digital perfection bordering on the uncanny.[3] Central to the sound are chiptune synths and 8-bit elements, which infuse tracks with retro video game nostalgia while layering them over modern production for a dissonant, futuristic clash. Abrupt tempo shifts disrupt conventional flow, creating disorienting transitions that heighten the music's playful instability, often shifting from frenetic energy to sudden slowdowns without warning.[2] Incorporation of 8-bit sounds further emphasizes low-resolution digital artifacts, like malfunctioning toy electronics, adding a layer of ironic imperfection to the otherwise sleek aesthetic.[3] The style blends bubblegum pop's saccharine melodies with experimental electronica's avant-garde glitches, resulting in a hybrid that subverts pop conventions through ecstatic overload. Production hallmarks include densely layered samples—stacking vocal chops, brand-name shouts, and distorted effects into chaotic collages—that embody ironic maximalism, where excess is wielded as both critique and celebration of consumerist gloss.[4] This approach favors imbalance and abundance over restraint, as founder A.G. Cook has noted, trusting discomfort to drive innovation in sound design.[13]Key Influences and Genre Context
PC Music's aesthetic and sonic palette were profoundly shaped by the glossy, synthetic pop of the 2000s, particularly the work of artists like Britney Spears, whose 2007 album Blackout exemplified a cyborg-like production style that prefigured the label's exaggerated vocal manipulations and electronic sheen.[31] This era's teen pop revival, characterized by pitch-shifted vocals and maximalist arrangements from producers like Max Martin, provided a template for PC Music's ironic yet affectionate homage to commercial excess.[2] Similarly, J-pop's vibrant, hyper-feminine tropes—evident in the cute-grotesque contrasts of performers like Kyary Pamyu Pamyu—influenced the label's playful visual and auditory distortions, blending kawaii aesthetics with electronic experimentation.[2] Video game soundtracks from the 8-bit and 16-bit eras further contributed to this foundation, infusing tracks with nostalgic chiptune elements and arcade-like synth melodies that evoke digital escapism.[2] The label's emergence is inextricably linked to the hyperpop genre, with PC Music's output foundational to its modern form; the term gained widespread recognition through a 2019 Spotify playlist featuring label artists alongside acts like 100 gecs.[32] Hyperpop, with its accelerated tempos, glitchy textures, and subversive pop structures, positioned PC Music as a pioneer in amplifying mainstream formulas to absurd extremes.[33] Shared post-internet aesthetics with movements like vaporwave highlight ironic engagements with consumer culture and digital nostalgia, though PC Music emphasized high-energy futurism over slowed-down reclamation.[2] Internet culture and memes profoundly impacted PC Music's ethos, fostering a DIY ethos rooted in online platforms like SoundCloud, where anonymous uploads and viral memes blurred lines between sincerity and satire.[34] This post-internet framework, drawing from avant-garde art collectives like DIS Magazine, emphasized hyper-virtual realities and cultural accelerationism, transforming memes into sonic motifs that challenged corporate pop norms.[34] Influences from London's DIY electronic scenes, including Night Slugs' bass-heavy, genre-blending experiments, contributed to PC Music's underground roots in club culture and post-rave innovation.[35] Within the broader landscape of experimental pop, PC Music occupies a pivotal role in post-internet music, redefining the genre through its fusion of high-gloss production with conceptual irony, thereby bridging underground electronica and mainstream accessibility.[36] This positioning highlights the label's contribution to a digital-native soundscape, where traditional pop evolves into a fragmented, meme-driven form reflective of online identity and consumption—a legacy that persists in hyperpop's ongoing evolutions as of 2025.[34][1]Artists and Collaborations
Core Roster
A.G. Cook founded PC Music in 2013 as a London-based record label and collective, serving as its primary producer, A&R, and solo artist who shaped its hyperpop aesthetic through experimental electronic compositions.[14] As the label's driving force, Cook released his debut solo album 7G in 2020 via PC Music, a sprawling 49-track set across seven discs that blended bubblegum bass, IDM, and alternative rock elements to explore fragmented pop structures.[37] This release exemplified his role in pushing PC Music's boundaries, incorporating sketches, covers, and full songs that reflected the label's ironic yet sincere approach to genre deconstruction.[38] Hannah Diamond emerged as one of PC Music's earliest and most iconic vocalists, known for her ethereal, high-pitched delivery and visuals that blended 2010s internet nostalgia with futuristic pop.[39] Her debut studio album Reflections, released in 2019 on PC Music, captured themes of isolation and digital longing through shimmering synth-pop tracks like "Invisible," marking a pivotal moment in her evolution from singles to full-length storytelling.[40] Earlier singles such as "Fade Away" (2016) highlighted her contributions to the label's sound, with its melancholic lyrics over twinkling production underscoring PC Music's fusion of emotional vulnerability and synthetic gloss.[41] GFOTY (Girl Friend of the Year) defined PC Music's satirical edge through humorous, lo-fi tracks that parodied pop tropes and celebrity culture.[42] Her signature releases, including "USA" from PC Music Volume 1 (2015) and "Friday Night," showcased absurd, self-referential lyrics over bubbly production, embodying the label's ironic take on hyperfeminine aesthetics.[43] These works solidified her as a core voice in PC Music's early output, influencing its blend of comedy and critique in electronic music.[44] QT was an early PC Music project involving A.G. Cook, SOPHIE, and model Hayden Dunham (as Quinn Thomas), blending pop with a fictional energy drink promotion.[45] Their 2014 single "Hey QT," produced by Cook and SOPHIE, featured bubbly synths and helium vocals, satirizing commercial pop while showcasing the label's playful, conceptual approach.[46] easyFun (now known as Finn Keane following a 2024 name change) contributed to PC Music as a producer and songwriter, known for glitchy, optimistic electronic tracks.[47] Their 2018 self-titled EP on PC Music featured songs like "Girlfriend," merging hyperpop with emotional synth lines and establishing easyFun as a key figure in the label's sound.[48] The Lipgloss Twins, a collaborative project between A.G. Cook and Felicita, added a glitch-pop dimension to PC Music's early releases.[49] Tracks like "Wannabe" (2015) and "Doodle" (2016), included on compilations such as PC Music Volume 1, featured layered vocals and maximalist production that parodied girl-group aesthetics with futuristic twists.[50] Planet 1999, the first full band signed to PC Music in 2019, brought a shoegaze-inflected synth-pop dimension to the roster with their dreamy, reverb-heavy compositions.[51] Hailing from France but based in London, the trio's EPs like Devotion (2020) featured signature tracks such as "Party" and "Replay," which contrasted the label's typical hyper-digital style with lush, emotional guitar textures.[52] Their work expanded PC Music's scope, incorporating 1990s dream-pop influences while maintaining the collective's futuristic ethos.[53]Notable Collaborations and Affiliates
PC Music has forged significant partnerships with external artists, most notably through its close ties with Charli XCX, whose mixtapes and albums extensively feature production from label affiliates. The 2017 mixtape Number 1 Angel was produced by PC Music founders and associates including A.G. Cook, SOPHIE, Danny L Harle, and easyFun, blending hyperpop aesthetics with XCX's pop sensibilities to create a project that bridged underground experimentation and mainstream appeal.[54][55] Similarly, XCX's 2022 album Crash incorporated contributions from A.G. Cook, easyFun, and the late SOPHIE, marking a culmination of over a decade of collaborative evolution that helped propel PC Music's sound into broader commercial contexts.[56] These works exemplify how PC Music producers served as creative architects for XCX's output, influencing tracks like those on her 2016 Vroom Vroom EP, entirely helmed by SOPHIE.[57] SOPHIE, a key affiliate though never formally signed to the label, extended PC Music's reach through high-profile external collaborations that amplified its futuristic sound. Her productions for artists like Madonna on tracks such as "Bitch I'm Madonna" (2015) and Lady Gaga on Artpop remixes introduced PC Music-inspired elements to global pop icons, while her work with Charli XCX on singles like "Vroom Vroom" further solidified these crossovers.[10][58] SOPHIE's affiliate status facilitated such integrations, as seen in her contributions to Vince Staples and Kim Petras, where abrasive, plasticine textures from PC Music's palette reshaped contemporary R&B and pop.[59] Producer Danny L Harle, another core affiliate, broadened the label's network via remixes and co-productions for mainstream acts outside its roster. His 2016 remix of Tinashe's "Superlove" infused PC Music's glossy hyperpop with R&B flair, while collaborations like "Super Natural" with Carly Rae Jepsen on her 2016 single brought euphoric synths to her E•MO•TION era, earning praise for its innovative pop fusion.[60][61] Harle's work with Caroline Polachek on "Ashes of Love" (2019) further exemplified this, merging PC Music's emotional maximalism with indie pop structures.[61] Kero Kero Bonito, affiliated through producer Gus Lobban's side project Kane West, contributed to the PC Music orbit with their bilingual, playful indie pop in the label's early years. Their mixtape Intro Bonito (2013, reissued 2014) featured glitchy, upbeat tracks like "Flamingo," helping amplify PC Music's experimental ethos into indie circles despite releases on other labels.[62][63] One-off projects on PC Music's 2022 compilation Volume 3 highlight the label's extended affiliates, including easyFun (now Finn Keane) and Namasenda, who contributed tracks expanding its collaborative scope. Finn Keane's (formerly easyFun) involvement in the Thy Slaughter project with A.G. Cook yielded the 2023 album Soft Rock, featuring guest appearances from Charli XCX, Caroline Polachek, and Alaska Reid, which blended PC Music's glitchy optimism with rock-infused experimentation.[64] Namasenda's contributions to Volume 3, such as "☆" with Oklou, alongside her 2021 mixtape Unlimited Ammo—produced in part by 100 gecs' Dylan Brady—underscored ties to adjacent hyperpop scenes, incorporating euphoric electronics and features from Hannah Diamond and ultra caro.[5][65] These efforts, including umru's "Popular" featuring 100 gecs' Laura Les on the same compilation, illustrate PC Music's role in fostering a wider network of hyperpop innovators.[5]Releases and Discography

PC Music's extended plays and singles emphasized the label's digital-first approach, with most releases initially available as downloads via Bandcamp and streaming platforms, allowing for immediate accessibility and fan engagement without physical production delays. This strategy facilitated rapid experimentation and built a cult following, as evidenced by Bandcamp's sales metrics showing thousands of downloads for early singles like Hannah Diamond's "Every Night," which garnered over 10,000 streams within months of its 2014 launch.[11][67] One of the label's foundational EPs was Danny L Harle's 1UL EP (2017), a four-track collection blending bubblegum bass and electropop elements, featuring collaborations that highlighted PC Music's collaborative ethos, such as vocals from upcoming artists. Released digitally on PC Music's Bandcamp page, it exemplified the label's focus on concise, high-energy formats that prioritized sonic innovation over traditional album structures. Similarly, easyFun's self-titled easyFun EP (2015) served as an early showcase of the artist's glitchy, hyper-saturated production.[2] Standout singles from the label's peak years captured its ironic, maximalist pop aesthetic. Hannah Diamond's "Every Night" (2014), the inaugural PC001 release, featured shimmering synths and auto-tuned vocals evoking 2000s club nostalgia, marking a breakthrough for the label's "future pop" sound and later appearing on PC Music Volume 1. GFOTY's "USA" (2015) followed with its playful, over-the-top lyrics and trap-infused beats, positioning the artist as a satirical voice within the roster and contributing to the label's early buzz in electronic music circles. Other notable singles included A.G. Cook's "Beautiful" (2015), an instrumental track with warped vocal chops that underscored the founder's experimental edge, and easyFun's "Monopoly" (feat.
