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].

Box Sets

Soundtracks is the complete set of Apparat’s (aka Sasha Ring) four film score chapters, released digitally across 2020 and now available for the first time on vinyl. The box set comprises the successive releases Capri-Revolution, Stay Still, Dämonen and Equals Sessions. Capri-Revolution, the Italian-language directed by Mario Martone, won Best Soundtrack at the Venice Film Festival alongside a David di Donatello, the Italian equivalent of an Academy Award. Stay Still is an independent German/Italian film directed by Elisa Mishto. Based on a theatrical production of Dostoevsky’s Demons, Dämonen was originally performed live by Ring and frequent collaborators, Philip Thimm and Christoph Hamann. The tracks were later re-arranged for Apparat’s second collaboration with director Sebastian Hartmann after Krieg und Frieden (Tolstoy’s War and Peace). Equals Sessions, from the American film Equals, stars Kristen Stewart directed by Drake Doremus, and premiered at the 72nd Venice Film Festival in 2015.

This exclusive box set will include a 16-page booklet, with artwork by George Tyebcho and Carsten Aermes.
