Label GB

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'.

Back In Stock

With a back catalogue that spans half a dozen studio LPs as Boom Bip, plus another two as one half of electronic pop duo Neon Neon, Bryan Hollon has already made a name for himself as a Mercury prize- nominated producer and multi-instrumentalist. Equally impressive are the credits to Warpaint drummer Stella Mozgawa's name; she's contributed percussion to albums by Kurt Vile, Cate le Bon, Courtney Barnett, Sharon Van Etten, and Kim Gordon, among others.

Hollon met Mozgawa just after she joined Warpaint, when Boom Bip shared a rehearsal space in Echo Park with the band. The two quickly bonded over a love of early Warp Records, drum breaks, acid house, and Y2K-era rave yers. They swapped playlists and ideas when Mozgawa played drums for Neon Neon's 2013 West Coast tour, but due to busy schedules, it would be another three years before they packed every piece of gear they collectively owned into Eric Wareheim's Absolutely Studios for an initial jam session.

But as improvisational techno duo Belief, the pair make music that harkens back to '90s acts like LFO and 808 State – artists that indelibly, but near-anonymously, altered club and rave culture, mostly identi able by clean, bold logos on 12" sleeves. Without being derivative of the era, they add their own instincts and experiences to grace the musical universe with new answers to the question: What Would Mark Bell Do?
