PC Music founder A. G. Cook turned heads in 2014 with a brand of self-aware high fructose corn pop. PC Music shouldn’t be taken completely seriously—it’s more like a black mirror of our carnal music desires, one tiptoe removed from the toxic and intoxicating pop on the radio.

Despite the wry intentions, however, A.G. Cook has proved himself an incredibly talented producer. His remix of How to Dress Well, for example, had me floored. Today Cook takes on two deified pop princesses, Charli XCX and Rita Ora.

The two could easily join Hannah Diamond in the PC Music stable. Cook pairs their sucrose voices with sunny vibes and staccato club synths, creating a glistening vibe that keeps things stark and fresh. As always, it turns out to be a surprisingly unique flip. Stream below.
