'''Gamsonite''' was a Tumblr blog created and operated by London musician A. G. Cook from 2012 to 2013.<ref> [https://diymag.com/2014/06/11/inside-the-hard-drive-of-pc-music A. G. Cook interview with DIY Magazine] </ref> The blog was dedicated to releasing music made by him and his friends, as well as other media such as photography and web design. It also occasionally promoted live events that Gamsonite artists were to appear at. The label is notable as it formed the early foundations for what would later become [https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/PC_Music PC Music], a highly influential online label that played a central role in the development of the Bubblegum Bass and Hyperpop genres (so much so that music within these genres is often referred to as "PC Music" as a musical [https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Generic_trademark genericised trademark]), with the label even going on to release music featuring superstar pop musician Carly Rae Jepsen.<ref>[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=CrFcxR4Y6C0 Music video for Super Natural featuring Carly Rae Jepsen, released on the PC Music label]</ref>

Gamsonite released early music from artists such as A. G. Cook, GFOTY, Danny L Harle and even occasionally Kero Kero Bonito, as well as photography work by Hannah Diamond. Though much of this archive has been removed, a significant amount of missing Gamsonite content has since resurfaced or been recovered through other means online.
