Lapfox Trax

... And hate is deaf, as love is blind!

Lapfox Trax, formerly Vulpvibe Records, is a record label owned and operated by one Renard Queenston. Around 20 artists are currently signed to the label, several being notable members of the furry community.

Lapfox is affiliated with another label, BreakBit Music, formerly ROFL Trax, and D-Mode-D are signed to both labels.

Lapfox is also associated with Psurg Design, the design group responsible for many of the releases' album arts and a game starring one of the artists, and Mungyodance, a StepMania-alike designed by Renard and featuring music from many past and present Lapfox artists.

Oh, and by the way... All 20 artists are Renard under different names. He released 26 albums in 2010 alone.

Lapfox Trax provides examples of the following tropes:

• Album Title Drop: The Queenstons' Figurehead. The first song (Figurehead, of course) namedrops the album.
  • Several of the "Best Of" Albums are like this. "Because Maybe!" from the Renard track Sinisterrrrrrrr, "I Knew A Little Bookworm" from the Klippa track Bookworm, and "It's Murder" from the Mayhem track of the same name.
• Amen Break: Of course!
• Anti-Love Song: Most of them, after Amber Starlight and its remixes and derivatives.
• Black Sheep Hit: He got an email from his brother that said aliens and monsters were attacking his place...
• Call-and-Response Song: Painkiller, with Renard and... Renard.
• Celebrity Endorsement: Renard is fond of a lot of series; as varied as Adventure Time to Sweet Bro and Hella Jeff
• Chiptune: Kitsune², a fan favorite, primarily produces chip pieces. A lot of others blur the line between this and techno. One of Klippa's album termed it "Arcadepunk".
• Concept Album: Kitcalibur's album "D.Freq.Crush". From the intro:

in the year 2001, our connections are shut down. team GUNDOGS was sent against the powerful enemy force, RICOCHET AASVOGELS. they were destroyed. OPERATION HELL DIVE was a failure. we are the new resistance. we are only two, but we are armed with skills that training does not amount to. we are armed with vision and audio. DIRECTIVE: FREQUENCY CRUSHER is now active.

• Digital Piracy Is Evil: Completely inverted, and given a mention in the website's FAQ:

Q: I PIRATED YOUR MUSIC!
A: great! piracy rules. piracy and filesharing are great promotional tools, and help spread the word of artists.

• First-Name Basis: Renard is usually just referred to by his first name.
• Genre Roulette: Lapfox releases from quite a swath of genres. Made more impressive because it's all Renard.
  • Truxton is hard to define. They switch rapidly between genres even within the same song. The definition above is the closest fit.
• Hardcore Techno:
  • Speedcore: The Quick Brown Fox.
  • Gabber: Azrael.
  • Happy Hardcore: Furries in a Blender.
  • Digital Hardcore: Adraen.
• Heartbeat Soundtrack: Portions of Renard's Daeva Suite, among others.
• Lyrical Dissonance: AUGH SO MUCH OF THIS
  • I'M NOTHING, I'M NO ONE
  • I'M JUST SOGGY FROM THE CHEMO
• Recurring Song: Amber Starlight has received various permutations and remixes.
• Name's the Same: Do not confuse Mayhem with the black metal band of the same name
• Neoclassical Punk Zydeco Rockabilly: Even though the Genre Roulette aspect is taken care of by multiple project aliases, Renard songs typically include such a myriad of source material that it can be generalized as this.
• New Sound Album: A PICTURE OF FINN FARTING is supposed to be what Renard does when he ignores all his inhibitions. One thing's for sure—it turned out a lot better than he thought it would.
• Nightmare Fuel Station Attendant: Renard's character.
  • hey guys how's it goin'
  • Or, in some cases ^{[dead link]} , a rather different kind of fuel station attendant...
• Non-Appearing Title: The vast majority of tracks.
• Non-Mammal Mammaries: Mayhem. Lampshaded by her album Sharktits.
• Obligatory Bondage Song: Both of them aren't exactly about bondage, but the Queenstons songs What You Do and Painkiller are about erotic disembowelment and incestuous rape, respectively.
• Obsession Song: Probably The Queenstons' Outsider. Doctor Q and Everything You Wanted off of The Revenge of Doctor Q probably also count in some way...
• Old Shame: Description of the Detergent album:

I wouldn't recommend paying for this. or even downloading it for free.

• Open Secret: Renard even acknowledges that all the other artists are him in the latest version of the site. Before this, it was actually somewhat difficult for a new fan to pick up on that without direct spoilers.
• Petting Zoo People: All of the artist-avatars.
• Protest Song: Truxton's work is basically a giant middle finger to every major piece of anti-piracy legislation out there, including SOPA, PIPA and ACTA, primarily because their work consists to a large extent of use of copyrighted music, yet their work is still protected under current American legislation, which Truxton took glee pointing out when releasing Hellhound.
• Refuge in Audacity: Some of the songs are this. So is Renard by the fact that he's completely insane.
  • Truxton delves into this. Only the audacious would think of mixing Whistle Concert and When September Ends.
• Speedy Techno Remake: Some of the work under Furries In A Blender.
• Split Personality: And how!
• Stupid Statement Dance Mix: Many of the songs he releases for free consist of this.
• Suspiciously Similar Song: Unintentionally, Eggs by Mayhem and 6 Little Eggs by DJ MTG. Mayhem apparently found the vocals in a sample pack and made something out of it.
  • And he got one of his own by someone else after calling Captain Ahab gay.
