Mute Records
De Wikipedia, la enciclopedia libre
Mute Records es una etiqueta discográfica formada en 1978 por Daniel Miller primarily to release su propio sencillo, "T.V.O.D."/"Warm Leatherette", under the moniker The Normal.
Mute Records creó un nombre para sí mismo como la etiqueta que was willing to sign post-punk artists like Fad Gadget (Frank Tovey's pseudonym), Einstürzende Neubauten, Throbbing Gristle, y Cabaret Voltaire. Una vez la música electrónica hit the British charts from 1981 onwards, Mute signed artists like Depeche Mode, Nitzer Ebb, Yazoo and Erasure that utilised new technology which would eventually redefine the sound of the dancefloor in the late 1980s and early 1990s.
Mute redefined itself again to encompass alternative rock with bands such as Sonic Youth on their Blast First imprint. The label also in 1992 launched a subsidiary called Novamute Records, mainly as a distribution channel for experimental electronic music.
Mute Records es conocido por ser el hogar de Depeche Mode y Erasure despite the lack of what is normally considered a contract. Moby, Nick Cave y Laibach are also Mute mainstays.
Mute Records es la primera casa discográfica británica en aparecer en internet, entitled Mute Liberation Technologies. This started out as a dial-up BBS, then becoming a Telnet site and finally a website. They continued to be run in tandem for a number of years until all were finally shut down, with the exception of the website.
En el 10 de mayo de 2002, EMI acquired Mute Records, extending an existing licensing relationship that Mute had with EMI’s Virgin Records for over 15 years. Daniel Miller, Executive Chairman, is responsible for all of the company’s global activities.
