PC Music label head and producer A.G. Cook has announced he’ll release new album ‘7G’ next month.
The 49-track collection will be split across seven discs, each named after a different instrument – such as ‘Drums’, ‘Guitar’, ‘Supersaw’, ‘Piano’ and ‘Extreme Vocals’.
In addition to a large batch of new material, ‘7G’ will also feature covers of songs by frequent collaborator Charli XCX along with Taylor Swift, Blur, The Strokes, Smashing Pumpkins, Sia and more.
In particular, the album contains covers of the Pumpkins’ hit ‘Today’, ‘The End Has No End’ by The Strokes, ‘Beetlebum’ by Blur and ‘Official’ by Charli XCX.

Back in June, Cook released an EP titled ‘Airhorn’ under the moniker DJ Lifeline, with all proceeds going to Movement 4 Black Lives.
