Daniel Miller is a British film editor musician and entrepreneur. He was the founder of the record label Mute Records, which he started to release his own material as The Normal.
Miller also recorded the album Music for Parties under the name Silicon Teens, mostly featuring sparse electronic new-wave covers of '50's and '60's pop classics such as Sweet Little Sixteen and Let's Dance. Film director John Hughes was so taken with it that an update of the Silicon Teens Red River Rock cover wound up on the soundtrack for Planes, Trains, and Automobiles.
Daniel Miller is also a prolific engineer and producer, producing such acts as Depeche Mode, Erasure, Wire, and DAF.
