About

Mute emerged in the post-punk era. It was a new electronic era of pop democracy, and anyone could make a record. You didn?t even need to know three chords, according to Mute founder Daniel Miller. All you needed, he said, was an idea His ?idea? was to create a classic of DIY pop ? a double A sided 7? single featuring the songs T.V.O.D. and Warm Leatherette. He called himself The Normal, designed a sleeve with Letraset, stuck the name Mute on it, and accidentally started a record label.
Mute became the blueprint for maverick independence and sonic adventurousness ? a blueprint that countless labels follow to this day.
