lead the charge under the new deal and is scheduled for release next Monday, September 9. “It’s great to be working with Mute


again in the UK,” said [PIAS] Artist and Label Services MD Adrian Pope. “The opportunity to take a joined up approach to physical and digital releases as well as

Gates added: “Mute and Daniel were an inspiration for me when founding [PIAS] back in 1982. “Mute and [PIAS] go back a long


time, having been Daniel’s licensee in several European countries before initiating Vital distribution together in the UK. I’m very happy on every level to see both our companies working together again in the UK.”
