Mute Artists is, as of 2011, the new trading name of Mute Records.

Eight years after the takeover of Mute by EMI, in September 2010, the major label and Daniel Miller (Mute Records founder) reached an agreement in which EMI would support Miller in the establishment of a second record label. The Mute brand once again became an independent.

The new label operates under the Mute trademark, which is licensed by EMI and supported by EMI via services such as sales, licensing, and distribution. Miller has been given full control of the new label, leaving EMI with a minority equity interest in the company. To help fund the new label, EMI licensed part of the Mute back catalogue, also giving support in areas such as royalty administration and business affairs. Current Mute artists such as Depeche Mode and Goldfrapp remain signed to and marketed by EMI Music. Many other bands, including Erasure and Nick Cave & The Bad Seeds moved over to Miller’s new independent label.
