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.{{cite web|url=http://www.pluginmusic.com/features/label.php?page=301studios |title=Features : Label Spotlight : 301 Studios |publisher=PlugInMusic.com |date=2006-07-03 |access-date=2013-07-23}}
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).{{Cite web|url=https://melodicnoisemedia.com/reviews/kpt-interview-contest|title=KPT INTERVIEW AND TICKET GIVE AWAY|website=Melodic Noise}}{{Cite web|url=https://voyageminnesota.com/interview/conversations-with-augustus-watkins|title=Conversations with Augustus Watkins - Voyage Minnesota Magazine|website=VoyageMinnesota}}{{Cite web|url=https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=hwDH7M6Esgs|title=Subculture Talk: Joshua Lexvold and Augustus Watkins of GIVE/TAKE Records|website=YouTube}}
