Anticon (often styled as anticon.) was an independent record label based in Los Angeles, California.[1] It was founded in 1998 by seven musicians and manager Baillie Parker.[2][3] It was collectively owned among six musicians, co-founder Parker, and manager Shaun Koplow.[4] The original musicians signed to Anticon were once referred to as the Anticon collective.[5] Following the death of one of its founding members in 2018, the label dissolved.[6]
