Lex Records is a British independent record label based in Camden, London, England. Style Lex has a varied musical output. Most releases are alternative hip hop, alternative rock or electronic. The label works with a small group of artists. Due to the small roster, Lex has a low volume of releases, rarely releasing more than three albums annually. Dazed described Lex as a label "...whose wildly creative output spans over a decade of landmark releases that have changed the music industry no end." Many Lex albums are collaborations between members of the label roster. The collaborative groups include Danger Mouse with MF Doom as Danger Doom, Boom Bip with Gruff Rhys as Neon Neon, Jneiro Jarel with MF Doom as JJ Doom, Fly Anakin with Pink Siifu and Eyedress with Zzzahara as The Simps. Lex packaging is often striking with elaborate print. Much of the Lex sleeve artwork up to 2011 was created by Ehquestionmark. Other sleeve artwork has been created by Braindead, ESPO, David Lynch, Kid Acne, James Jarvis, Yu Sato, Eric Hu and Commission Studio. History 2001–2011 Lex Records was founded by Tom Brown in 2001. It was originally an imprint of Warp Records and run from its North London offices. The label was initially intended only to release 12-inch singles. However, as Lex approached artists to contribute music, most artists offered a full album. By the end of 2003, Lex had released several albums including debuts by Boom Bip, Non-Prophets and Danger Mouse. The early success of these albums allowed Lex to expand. In 2004, Lex managed The Grey Album campaign, co-ordinating the promo on what would become the music story of the year and propel Danger Mouse into the spotlight of mainstream media, establishing him as a critically successful artist. Tom Brown got a copy of The Grey Album to Damon Albarn. Damon's enthusiasm for The Grey Album led directly to Danger Mouse being brought on board to produce Gorillaz's second album Demon Days. Demon Days was released in May 2005 and went on to sell millions of copies worldwide and established Danger Mouse as a commercially successful producer by the summer of 2005. In September 2005, Tom Brown bought Warp's share of the label and set up in new offices. Lex kept its existing roster including Boom Bip, Danger Mouse and Doseone. The first release after the separation was Danger Doom's first album The Mouse
