Novamute Records
Novamute Records was the electronic dance music subsidiary of Mute Records, which was started in 1992.[1] The label's staff included Mick Paterson (promotions), Pepe Jansz (A&R), and producer Seth Hodder, and it was originally set up to give UK releases to white label 12-inch singles and imports.[1] In the United States it was distributed by Tommy Boy Records while the Mute parent label was distributed by Elektra Records.[1]
In the beginning, the label licensed records and music from small labels such as Berlin-based Tresor and Canadian label Plus 8.[1] It expanded its remit to include new work from artists such as Richie Hawtin and Luke Slater.[2][3]
