Can’t believe it has been 15 years since Trevor Jackson pulled the plug on his rather brilliant Output Recordings. I feel that we could do with some more labels with this type of vision and attention to detail – that being said – running a label doesn’t sound like a lot of fun.
“I saw people I thought were my friends turn into monsters, sycophantic fools jump bandwagons quicker than sneaker styles, and individuals I thought were affiliates stab me in the back without even thinking twice. Babysitting grown adults is not a skill I possess, so I am more than happy to pass the gauntlet on to trust-funded pseudo-indies with fat pockets and no imagination. Let them deal with paranoid artists with inflated egos who believe their own hype and request tour riders fit for royalty.” – Trevor Jackson.
