The Fifth Major Record Label

Welcome to the online homepage of Def Mute Records. Here, we do not believe that you should be fined or thrown in jail for making a copy of one of our CD's for your little sibling to listen to - as this was how we were all raised. By the same token, if you share our work with somebody, that increases our chances of somebody else liking our music and showing us some luv. There is a paradox in the music industry - one in which, corporate bigwigs control the budget and the push - and thus, what is supposedly "hot". These oligopolistic practices tend to steer music in the direction of being wack, and the "art" is truly what suffers because some of the realest cats out there do not or will not have a voice in that sort of scenario. The next question is, how could anybody make money in that P2P Friendly system? Well, there is an enormous market for this because of the loss in revenue the industry is seeing. That entertainment industry market share has got to go somewhere....

At Def Mute Records, the artists were fans first. As fans, we watched the nonsense in the music industry unfold over the years and wondered - what would it be like if things were handled differently? Out of the innocence of that question came the four principles to which Def Mute Records and its artists (past, present, and future) live by: Loyalty, Individuality, Creativity, Longevity. These four principles illicit a legacy of civility to which we all thrive upon. Simply put, if this is to be a business, we need to be business about it.

Def Mute Records, "The Fifth Major Record Label", is a P2P Friendly: Buffalo Grove, Illinois-based record label. Def Mute Records is the principal source of music-related products and services featuring underground musical entrepreneurs such as DJ VoiceCrack, E Luv, ISD, and The Mac-X Crew.
