Suicide is an influential American electronic music duo formed in 1970. Comprised of Alan Vega and Martin Rev, they are known for pioneering the genre of synth-punk and influencing a wide range of artists across different genres. Their raw and confrontational sound, combined with Vega's intense vocals, created a unique sonic experience that challenged conventional notions of music. With their groundbreaking self-titled debut album released in 1977, Suicide left an indelible mark on the music industry and continue to be revered as one of the most innovative acts in history.
Throughout their career, Suicide pushed boundaries and defied expectations with their experimental approach to music-making. Their use of primitive drum machines, synthesizers, and minimalistic song structures laid the foundation for future electronic musicians. Their influence can be heard in various genres such as punk rock, new wave, industrial, and techno.
Despite being ahead of their time, Suicide faced initial resistance from mainstream audiences due to their unconventional style. However, over the years they gained recognition for their artistic vision and have since been celebrated by critics worldwide. Today, Suicide's legacy lives on through countless artists who have been inspired by their uncompromising attitude towards creativity.

Please note, some Mute issues also carry an EMI logo. This is not a label and EMI should not be added as a label, it instead indicates that Mute was part of the EMI Group.

Founded in 1978 by [a=Daniel Miller], Mute (also known as [l36339]) releases various forms of music, with an emphasis on electronic and experimental pop. In May 2002 the label was acquired by the [l=EMI Group]. In 2010 Miller did an agreement with EMI to handle Mute as an independent label again, licensing the trademark from EMI via his company [l=Mute Artists Ltd.], but EMI kept the rights over Mute's back catalogue. After the EMI Group was dissolved, in 2012 [l206061] acquired [l636]'s back catalogue.

Branch offices exist in Germany ([l168349]) and in North America ([l36296]). 

Mute has spawned many regional and special-interest sublabels, some of which are still active. One offshoot, [l=Parallel Series], even became independent of [l636] Mute also operates Mute Bank Mail Order, which sells the label's merchandise directly to consumers. Mute Bank published two issues of [i]Mute Statement[/i], a softcover book that details the entire discography of the label and includes band profiles and photos of release artwork.

Another label strongly associated with Mute is [l=Toast Hawaii], run by [a=Depeche Mode]'s [a=Andrew Fletcher].
