Mute was founded by Daniel Miller in 1978, and since then has signed and developed some of the world’s most influential recording artists – including Depeche Mode, M83, Nick Cave & The Bad Seeds, The Knife, Yaz, Goldfrapp, Erasure, Jose Gonzalez, Moby, Fever Ray, Liars, Can, and Richard Hawley (to name a few) – and become home to a crop of emerging talent and recent signings such as Arca, Zola Jesus, Cold Specks, Maps, The Acid, Big Deal and Ben Frost.
Whilst maintaining a firmly eclectic roster, from the earliest days of The Normal, Fad Gadget and Cabaret Voltiare through to the techno era with artists such as Plastikman/Richie Hawtin and Speedy J, and to the present day with hybrid electronic artists such as Moderat and Diamond Version, the label has always been a champion of electronic music.
