Mute

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].

Plastikman is the main recording identity of Richie Hawtin, a renowned artist in the electronic music scene. He has been creating music since the early 1990s and has constantly evolved his sound over the years. From his early days of acidic techno to his more recent experiments with futuristic rhythms and off-world ambience, Plastikman's music is always pushing boundaries.

In addition to his impressive discography, Plastikman is also known for his groundbreaking DJ performances. He incorporates turntables, effects processors, and additional instruments like Roland's TR-909 drum machine and SH-101 synthesizer into his sets. His DE9 series of DJ performances have redefined what a DJ can do by utilizing technology to enhance creativity.

But Plastikman's talents don't stop at producing and DJing. He also puts on incredible live shows that combine state-of-the-art visual architecture and interactive technology. These shows explore the connection between visuals, audio, and interactivity, creating an immersive experience for audiences.

Techno figurehead Richie Hawtin releases his first album under his much-adored Plastikman guise since 2003. If you need a reminder, Plastikman was responsible for two of the definitive 1990s minimal techno records in the shape of 1993′s 'Sheet One' and 1994′s 'Musik', but has been on the back burner as a recording project since 2010′s 'Slinky' 12″. 'Ex' was recorded live at the Guggenheim Museum in New York last year at the invitation of of Belgian fashion designer Raf Simons. Performed around a specially constructed LED obelisk, the gig saw the M_nus boss draw from a selection of new material created for the one-off event.LP Double Vinyl Set with Download.
