"This new association offers an artist the best of both worlds: the benefit of Mammoth's proven ability to work artists at the ground level, combined with the long- term potential offered by a major." "Mammoth's music sensibility and street -level savvy make the label a tremendous asset to Atlantic," said label Senior Vice President Danny Goldberg, who was instrumental in forging the deal. "It is a mutually beneficial situation-Atlantic can tap into a great source of new music, while Mammoth can offer their artists the clout of a major label with powerful distribution."
