301Studios was an American electronic music and hip-hop Independent record label based in Minneapolis, Minnesota from 2003 until 2012. It was founded by independent artist Joshua Lexvold (of KPT, DEATHDANCE and Give/Take currently). According to the label, 301Studios had taken a business model cue from successful independent labels such as Amphetamine Reptile, Ipecac Records, and Wax Trax! by focusing on artist development rather than searching out ready-made or Top 40 style radio-friendly artists.
As of 2017, Lexvold has gone on to co-found American Independent record label Give/Take with Augustus Watkins of Bijou Noir, DEATHDANCE, Tulip Tiger and co-host of the Tied To The Tracks podcast).
