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.
