AG Cook Brings Euphoria and Energy to a Sold-Out Brooklyn Show

AG Cook’s Brooklyn show at the Paramount was a masterclass in hyperpop energy and euphoria. The super-producer, known for his collaborations with Charli XCX and Beyoncé, captivated the audience with a high-energy DJ set that showcased his evolution as a musical artist. The night was a whirlwind of distorted, industrial pop with songs like ‘Von Dutch’ and ‘Out of Time,’ which seamlessly blended aggressive basslines with celestial synths. Cook, known for his experimental approach, often reworked his tracks, offering new renditions of his earlier work and even performing some guitar-driven fuzz rock in between. His music constantly shifts, making every performance feel like a preview of pop’s future. The crowd was swept up in the ecstatic atmosphere, especially when Cook mashed up tracks from his album *Britpop* and Charli XCX’s *Brat*, which created a dreamy, trance-like experience. With his new record label, *New Alias*, and continued work with major artists, Cook proves that hyperpop is far from a passing trend. The night felt like both a celebration of his journey and a glimpse into the future of experimental pop.
