Mute

Apparat is a German musician, composer, and electronic music producer based in Berlin. Born on June 27, 1978, he is known for his innovative sound and unique approach to music production. Co-founder of Shitkatapult, Apparat has established himself as a prominent figure in the electronic music scene.

With his distinct style that blends elements of techno, IDM, and ambient music, Apparat has captivated audiences worldwide. His music often evokes a sense of introspection and emotion, creating immersive sonic landscapes that transport listeners to another realm.

Influenced by artists such as Telefon Tel Aviv, Moderat, Modeselektor, and Thom Yorke among others, Apparat's work pushes the boundaries of electronic music. His collaborations with renowned performers like Ellen Allien and Pantha Du Prince have further solidified his status as an influential force in the industry.

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].

For almost two decades, Sascha Ring has been one of the defining protagonists of electronic music. As Apparat he has explored the entanglement of programmed sounds and analogue instruments like no other; as part of Moderat (the trio he founded with Modeselektor’s Gernot Bronsert and Sebastian Szary), he has transformed this knowledge and art into an aesthetic of indulgence and sublimity.

Apparat’s new album, his first release since 2013’s Krieg und Frieden (Music For Theatre), is sublime and delicate, finding greatness in small things and in unexpected twists, it joins musical fragments together and glows from the cracks in between. Without question, this is Sascha Ring's best work to date.
