A. G. Cook

Electronic

London-born and Los Angeles-based producer A. G. Cook is a foundational architect of modern electronic pop and the founder of the influential label PC Music. His maximalist, glitchy production style fuses experimental club sound design with exaggerated pop tropes, a signature aesthetic that defined the hyperpop movement. Cook has released ambitious solo projects like the sprawling 2020 album "7G" on PC Music and the 2024 three-disc opus "Britpop" via New Alias. Beyond his solo work, he is widely recognized as the executive producer for Charli XCX, shaping defining records like "Brat" and "Pop 2", while also collaborating with artists ranging from Caroline Polachek to Beyonce. Recent years have seen him expand his scope further, scoring the 2026 A24 film "The Moment" and producing for shoegaze band DIIV, alongside performances at Boiler Room and the All Things Go festival. By continually blurring the boundaries between underground internet culture and mainstream chart success, Cook remains a central force in pushing the sonic limits of contemporary pop music.
