All 20 artists areRenard under different names.He released 26 albums in 2010 alone.
G-DARIA (Drum and Bass) [Only two songs were released under this alias, which were originally from a two-track Jackal Queenston / Sonitus Vir EP. Renard felt that the aliases didn't fit the songs, and later added them into ON Trax Vol. 2 under this alias. It eventually became what is now Darius.]
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.
Anti-Love Song: Most of them, after Amber Starlight and its remixes and derivatives.
Arc Number: All three of the Truxton albums have 8 songs.
Author Avatar: Nearly every one of the artists has one, with Sonitus Vir being the sole exception.
Back from the Dead: JAQL made a very unexpected return in 2013 after nearly five years of inactivity. The official alias list actually said he was retired.
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: Kitcaliber'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.
A: great! piracy rules. piracy and filesharing are great promotional tools, and help spread the word of artists.
Do Not Call Me Dave: Renard does not like people he doesn't know referring to him by his birth name, Dave Remmler, which can only be seen on a couple of websites (none of which are his own), and his personal Facebook page. In May 2012 he posted a blog entry asking people to stop using his birth name, saying that even his partner Squeedge calls him Renard. So please, even though you just read his "real" name, DON'T use it.
First Name Basis: Renard is usually just referred to by his first name.
Flesh Golem: At first glance, the cover of On Trax Volume 5 (and MAG Trax). But, as stated by Renard, it is just a mix of his various aliases.
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.
Greatest Hits Album: Four of these were released in 2010 for Renard, Jackal Queenston, Klippa, and Mayhem. Each is an hour-long DJ mix of the artist's most popular songs.
Long Title: Several, but "Hank Made Me Vomit (Good Riddance Undying Shitlord) or You Are My Forever-Shining Guardian Light But You Can Still Suck A Fat Dick" stands out.
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.
The Queenstons' Undertones. Fans were even warned that it would not sound the same as previous Queenstons albums before it came out.
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...
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.
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.
Also, to some extent, the This Place Will Grow EP.
Recurring Song: Amber Starlight has received various permutations and remixes.
Refuge in Audacity: Some of the songs are this. So is Renard by the fact that he's completely insane.
Running Gag: Starting with Post-Apocalyptic Porn Groove and going all the way up through SPEEDKORE 4 KIDZ!, the album credits were usually something along the lines of "all music written/produced/tracked/____ by [artist]", with the ____ being something related to the musician or their genre; e.g.: Renard - "contrived/demolished"; Mayhem - "sliced and diced"; Azrael - "distorted"; The Quick Brown Fox - "dsfhkjsfjh'd".
Sampling: All the artists (especially Truxton and Renard) sample a lot.
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.
