PC Music, A.G. Cook’s record label that forever altered the sound of the 2010s with experimental electronic and hyperpop music, has announced that it’s coming to an end to coincide with the label’s 10th anniversary. “After a decade of activity, 2023 will be PC Music’s final year of new releases,” reads a note on the label’s website. “Following that, the label will be dedicated to archival projects and special reissues. We have an undisclosed number of new albums and singles coming very soon. For now, 10 x 10 minutes of content from the past, present & future. Personal Computer Music forever.”

On a special webpage devoted to PC Music’s 10th anniversary, a 100-minute-long playlist featuring old and new music from its artists is available to stream. It includes material from Cook, Kane West, Easyfun, Dux Content, Ö, Grrl, Umru, Datalord, Caro♡, and Bopples.

After Cook founded the London-based label in 2013, PC Music quickly established itself as a home for slick hyperpop production, experimental spins on the future of electronic music, and presentations that inverted consumerism. In addition to Cook and the artists included on the 10th anniversary playlist, PC Music’s roster also included Hannah Diamond, Danny L Harle, and Hyd, among others. Although she was never signed to the label, the late SOPHIE frequently collaborated with and contributed to PC Music releases, as did Charli XCX, Caroline Polachek, Carly Rae Jepsen, Kero Kero Bonito, and Rebecca Black
