    Daniel Miller is an iconic figure in the music industry. Beginning with a naive interest in releasing his own Electronic exploits in the late '70s, Daniel has developed a range of artists through his independent Mute imprint and emerged a fierce defender of the arts. Depeche Mode, Nick Cave & The Bad Seeds, Moby, Goldfrapp, M83, and countless others have benefitted from Daniel's guidance, and he sat down with KCRW Music Director Jason Bentley to reflect on his own career, and the evolution of Electronic music over the last three decades. You can stream a full one-hour mix of Mute artists leading up to Daniel's interview, or download the interview-only as a podcast. Electrospective is a radio documentary Produced by EMI Music in association with KCRW.
