Outpost Recordings was an American record label, founded in January 1996 by Scott Litt, Mark Williams and Andy Gershon. The label was launched as a joint venture with Geffen Records, who originally handled the label's marketing, promotion and distribution.
Outpost Recordings achieved its greatest commercial successes with Days of the New and The Crystal Method, but never became a financially profitable operation. After an unsuccessful pairing with Interscope Records in 1999 following Geffen's closure, the label closed down in January 2000.
History
Formation and successes (1996–1998)
Outpost Recordings was launched on January 26, 1996, by producer Scott Litt, former Virgin Records A&R head Mark Williams and artist manager Andy Gershon.[1] According to Gershon, "The reason we chose the name Outpost is our plan is to be on the frontier of what's happening in the future."
