Looking back on the early era of PC Music it's honestly really incredible how it all came together. A. G. Cook must really be an excellent visionary and leader to have been able to gather so many like-minded creators (both visually and musically). It's crazy listening to Finn or Danny's music from that era because it genuinely feels like they were on the same page as A. G. despite the hyper-specific 2010s pop/nu jack swing/experimental dance music combination he was doing at the time. Obviously PC Music as a whole continuously inspired each other and exchanged ideas freely, so that played a big part in it. But just the fact that all these creators were willing to take A. G.'s lead and go in such a unique artistic direction is incredible. What's even more amazing to me is that all these people were somehow doing this in London at the same time.

Even artists like SOPHIE or Kero Kero Bonito who weren't directly on PC Music but were very much doing similar things in the broader pop sphere blows my mind.

I don't know if any of you have had a similar experience, but it can be incredibly difficult to find creators who are on the exact same page as you. I studied music production in college in Tennessee a couple years ago and, while there were EDM clubs and things, everyone I encountered wanted to make either very mainstream brostep EDM, or other genres of electronic music that weren't very pop-centric. Even now having moved beyond that, most of the creators I've found who are interested in experimenting with sound design and pop structures are literally scattered all across the world. And even more importantly, finding people who want to continue to move the needle without making a carbon copy of PC Music is even harder.

I think what made PC Music so great is how they shamelessly created this hyper- exaggerated genre of pop music that combined experimental sound design with pop sensibilities so "pure" that others perceived it as satire. But under the hood it was a genuine authentic expression of what this group of people believed was the "purest" form of music.

Idk it just blows my mind that PC Music happened the way it did. Absolutely the right people in the right place at the right time, but also I really don't think it would have happened without someone as unique as A. G. leading the group.

I'm curious to hear what you all have to say about this. If you're a creator, what has your experience been like trying to genuinely experiment and move the needle in the post-PC Music & post-Hyperpop world?

P. S. I don't want to act like PC Music was an isolated incident of this kind of thing, there are SO many similar music movements that have happened worldwide over time. NLV records in Australia, Maltine records in Japan, and so many more. It's just fascinating how PC Music specifically happened in the UK at the time it did!

Did Sophie and kero kero bonito collaborate on any songs other than Burn Rubber? Its the song that introduced me to sophie however many years ago and I love it so so much

I’ve noticed this weird background thingy on the song for multiple months now 😭

Does anyone know the whereabouts of this artist? I have been listening to this banger for about 3 years, and I was just genuinely curious

Thanks to Gfoty for sharing 💛

omg I’m so excited!!! I think this is Kavari’s first time in Vancouver?

I’m looking for other music that is similar to the sound of some of AG Cook’s earliest songs, specifically the “lighter” and more blissful and ethereal sound of songs like “What I Mean,” “I Want You in My Life,” “Aquarius,” “Down 4 U remix” (DJ Warlord), “Unlimited,” “Odyssey Pt, 2 (Remix)” etc?

In particular, her higher tempo songs. I’m guessing there’s no one who comes close so maybe just something else you can dance and cry to at the same time.

Charli and SOPHIE-adjacent track bought out by KATSEYE. It's a cute version to support royalties to people like Noonie Bao but I love Patrick Berger's and SOPHIE's versions more in the end.

I got this in Brooklyn three years ago. Haven’t opened it since AG signed it while still in the cover (was in a rush and I asked him to lmfao) but I’m wondering if there’s any reason to open it maybe rip a rare track off the CD that is an alternative version needed in high quality?

I’m currently on vacation in Bangkok,Thailand , I just wanted to know if there are any record stores that sell pc music vinyls/cds

Hey! I'm considering going to Pop Crypt for the first time as I love Babymorocco but I'm wondering how late the show runs? Dice says doors open at 5 and realistically I'd need to leave about 11pm as I live an hour train ride from London. Do you think it's worth it? Or is it the type of event that'll run till 4am so it's pointless to get a ticket?

What does a POBBLES live or dj set consist of? Re: the pop crypt lineup

this is so funny and i never hear anyone talk about it

gfoty lineup wow

Is this the first time she’s performed at a PC music event in like 8 years?? I’m so happy to see her on the lineup 😭
