    Not unexpected, but disappointing. Been on board since 2018, it's been a wild ride. They're all (for the most part) rich kids though, so I'm sure they'll filter out into the wider music industry, especially A.G. Cook, I'm sure if he wants to he'll be producing stuff for the top 100 pop charts for the rest of his life.

    But congrats, they pretty much helped codify the sound of an entire genre which is pretty impressive for an indie label.

      yeah i get the sense that most people involved in pc music had already moved onto bigger things, i dunno if EVERY artist because I'm not following closely, but the success of Caroline Polachek means that some of the pc music aesthetic choices are already very much a part of the mainstream. not to mention stuff like Rosalia that borrows a lot from the "deconstructed club" (for a lack of a better moniker) wave and is internationally big. truly a legendary label, up there with raster-noton or brainfeeder. their presence on the EDM scene will be felt for decades.
