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].

Telex is a Belgian all-electronic disco pop band that was formed in 1978 by radio DJ and jazz musician Marc Moulin, programmer and sound engineer Dan Lacksman, and vocalist Michel Moers. The group gained popularity with their hit singles "Twist A Saint Tropez," "Moskow Diskow," and "Rock Around The Clock." Telex released five albums between 1979 and 1988, including "Looking For Saint Tropez," "Neurovision," "Sex," "Wonderful World," and "Looney Tunes." After a nearly 20-year hiatus, they returned with the release of the album "How Do You Dance?" in 2006. Unfortunately, Marc Moulin passed away in 2008 due to cancer.

During their break, Marc Moulin produced various pop albums, worked as one of the head programmers on French-speaking Belgian national radio, and also pursued his talents as an author and playwright. Dan Lacksman currently operates a studio complex called [l315683] in Brussels. Michel Moers resides in Provence, France where he works as a video director and photographer.

Telex's music continues to be cherished by fans around the world for its unique blend of electronic sounds with disco pop elements. Their contribution to the dance club scene remains significant with several popular Telex 12" releases being enjoyed especially in the USA.

Box Sets

Following 2021’s compilation This is Telex, Telex return with a vinyl and CD boxset of their full catalogue of studio albums: Looking For Saint Tropez, Neurovision, Sex, Wonderful World, Looney Tunes and How Do You Dance?.

These studio albums have all been remastered and newly mixed by band members Dan Lacksman and Michel Moers, keeping the spirit of the original tracks whilst adding a freshness to produce a definitive version of each album. The boxset is a timeline of the Belgian synthpop trio’s career, from their 1979 debut up to their last studio album How Do You Dance? (2006).
