Lex Records is an independent music label that was established in 2001 by Tom Brown. Originally a hip-hop focused imprint of Warp Records, Lex quickly expanded its scope and began releasing full albums from artists such as Boom Bip and Non-Prophets. Over time, Lex developed its own roster of long-term artists, including Danger Mouse, Boom Bip, Fog, and Subtle. In 2005, Lex became a fully independent label when it was sold by Warp to Tom Brown. Despite the split, Lex continues to receive support from Warp's distribution channels.

The label has gained recognition for its unique approach to music releases and its commitment to supporting emerging talent. With a diverse range of genres represented on their roster, Lex Records has become known for pushing boundaries and challenging traditional industry norms.

Through partnerships with distribution platforms like Warpmart and Bleep, Lex has been able to reach a wider audience and continue sharing groundbreaking music with the world. Their catalogue numbers have become iconic within the industry, with certain numbers remaining unused as documented in Rob Young's book 'Warp'.

Bryan Hollon, known by his stage name Boom Bip, is a versatile artist who began his musical journey in the early 1990s. Initially drawn to instruments like guitars, drums, and pianos, he later ventured into turntables and discovered a passion for hip hop sample material found on classic jazz and funk albums.

Boom Bip's talent as a DJ quickly gained recognition, leading him to release his first record with Mush Records in 1996. His breakthrough album "Circle," created in collaboration with rapper Dose One, caught the attention of legendary John Peel on BBC Radio. This led to two Peel Sessions and further exposure for Boom Bip.

In 2001, Boom Bip signed with Lex Records, a sublabel of Warp Records. He released his first record on Lex in 2002 and had the opportunity to perform at renowned festivals such as Glastonbury, Pukkelpop, and Coachella. Throughout his career, Boom Bip has also produced successful remixes for notable artists including Mogwai, Boards Of Canada, Venetian Snares, Lali Puna, M83,and Oasis.
