YMMV page [[YMMV/LapfoxTrax here]].

* BrokenPedestal: A noticeable number of fans swore off the label after Renard was [[http://nishimikan-archive.tumblr.com/post/74105986662 accused of sexual assault]]. [[http://cannibro.tumblr.com/post/74003231046/nishimikan-external-link-rape-warning-body Twice]].

* NamesTheSame: Do not confuse Mayhem with the [[Music/{{Mayhem}} black metal band of the same name]].

** 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.
* AmenBreak: Of course!
* AntiLoveSong: Most of them, after "Amber Starlight" and its remixes and derivatives.
* ArcNumber: All three of the Truxton albums have 8 songs.
* AuthorAvatar: Nearly every one of the artists has one, with Sonitus Vir being the sole exception.

* BungledSuicide: The cover of ''Trauma'' is also a CruelAndUnusualDeath.
* CallAndResponseSong: Painkiller, with Renard and... Renard.
* CelebrityEndorsement: Emma is fond of a lot of series; as varied as ''WesternAnimation/AdventureTime'' to ''Webcomic/SweetBroAndHellaJeff''.
* {{Chiptune}}: Kitsune[[superscript:2]], 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 "[[TitleDrop Arcadepunk]]".
* ConceptAlbum: Kitcaliber's album ''D.FREQ.CRUSH''. From the intro:

* DoNotCallMePaul: Emma does ''not'' like people they don't know referring to them by their birth name, which can only be seen on a couple of websites (none of which are their own), and their personal Facebook page.
* DigitalPiracyIsEvil: [[InvertedTrope Completely inverted]], and given a mention in the website's FAQ:

* FirstNameBasis: Emma is usually just referred to by their first name.
* FleshGolem: At first glance, the cover of On Trax Volume 5 (and MAG Trax). But, as stated by Ren, it is just a mix of their various aliases.
* GenreRoulette: 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.
* GreatestHitsAlbum: 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.
* HardcoreTechno:
** Speedcore: The Quick Brown Fox.

** Happy Hardcore: Furries in a Blender.
** Digital Hardcore: Adraen.
* HeartbeatSoundtrack: Portions of Renard's Daeva Suite, among others.
* IHaveManyNames: And how!
* LongTitle: 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.
** [[EitherOrTitle Note that the 'or' is ''actually part of the name.'']]
* LosingYourHead: The cover of the album [[http://lapfox.bandcamp.com/album/post-traumatic-stress-disorder Post Traumatic Stress Disorder]].
* LuckyCharmsTitle: The album "Knight," by RQ, officially spelled simply as "♞".
* LyricalDissonance: The music is generally upbeat or at least fast-paced (with the exception of any ambient or downtempo work), but the lyrics can be all over the place. Case in point:
** [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=1SrvCdHJhEY I'M NOTHING, I'M NO ONE]]
** [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=sqOMEafIx3w I'LL DIE, I'LL DIE, I WILL DIE A TERROR]]
* MsFanservice: Mayhem.
* NamesTheSame: Do not confuse Mayhem with the [[Music/{{Mayhem}} black metal band of the same name]].
* NeoclassicalPunkZydecoRockabilly: Even though the GenreRoulette 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.
* NewSoundAlbum: ''A PICTURE OF FINN FARTING'' is supposed to be what Renard does when they ignore all their inhibitions. One thing's for sure -- it turned out a lot better than they 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.
* NonAppearingTitle: The vast majority of tracks.
** Justified, because they're mostly instrumental.
* NonMammalMammaries: [[SharkMan Mayhem]]. [[LampshadeHanging Lampshaded]] by her album ''Sharktits''.
** As well as D-Mode-D.
* ObligatoryBondageSong: Both of them aren't ''exactly'' about bondage, but the Queenstons songs What You Do and Painkiller are about erotic disembowelment and sadistic urges (Others say it talks about "incestuous rape"), respectively.
* ObsessionSong: Probably The Queenstons' Outsider. Doctor Q and Everything You Wanted off of The Revenge of Doctor Q probably also count in some way...
* OldShame: Description of the ''Detergent'' album:

* OpenSecret: Emma even acknowledges that all the other artists are them 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.
* ProtestSong: 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''.
** If the samples were all licensed, the fees would have been somewhere around ''$2.000,000''.
** Also, to some extent, the This Place Will Grow EP.
** Backfired immensely as Emma has come under legal pressure because of the above.
* [[RecurringRiff Recurring Song]]: "Amber Starlight" has received various permutations and remixes.
* RefugeInAudacity: Some of the songs are this. So is Emma by the fact that they're completely ''insane''.
** Truxton delves into this. Only the audacious would think of mixing [[VideoGame/MegaMan Whistle Concert]] and [[Music/GreenDay When September Ends]].
* RunningGag: Starting with ''[[http://vulpvibe.bandcamp.com/album/post-apocalyptic-porn-groove Post-Apocalyptic Porn Groove]]'' and going all the way up through ''[[http://lapfox.bandcamp.com/album/speedkore-4-kidz 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.''
* SelfBackingVocalist: Renard, Kitsune[[superscript:2]], and Kit from Kitcaliber (although Kit is actually a [[SyntheticVoiceActor Synthetic Singer]]).
* SpeedyTechnoRemake: Some of the work under Furries In A Blender, and TQBF as well.
* SpokenWordInMusic: In ''ROBOT BRAINSTRONAUT BLASTOFF​!​!​!'', "Your Energy'" ends with a recording of the poem "So, we'll go no more a-roving" by Lord Byron, backed by sound effects from {{VideoGame/Galaga}}
* StupidStatementDanceMix: Many of the songs released for free consist of this.
** Plenty of older TQBF songs are this as well. [[http://vulpvibe.bandcamp.com/track/numbnuts "Numbnuts"]], [[http://vulpvibe.bandcamp.com/track/coward-killing-time "Coward Killing Time"]], or [[http://vulpvibe.bandcamp.com/track/im-a-fucking-car "I'm A Fucking Car"]], anyone?
* TronLines: Adraen's got 'em all over his skin.
* TheWikiRule: [[http://lapfoxtrax.wikia.com/wiki/LapFox_Trax_Wiki Yes, there is one.]]

* RHODE STRIXMAN (Progressive Fusion)

* AntiLoveSong: Most of them, after Amber Starlight and its remixes and derivatives.

* BungledSuicide: The cover of Trauma also [[CruelAndUnusualDeath Cruel and Unusual Death]].

Oh, and by the way... All 20 artists are Emma under [[IHaveManyNames different names.]] [[ArchivePanic They released 26 albums in 2010 alone.]]

Starting from 2015, the label was rebranded into '''Halley Labs'''. While the Lapfox name has been underused since then, it still pops up as the official handles for their Twitter and Patreon, as well as for rereleases of older songs under the "Lapfox Classics" sub-label.

[[http://lapfoxtrax.com Lapfox Trax]], formerly Vulpvibe Records, is a record label owned and operated by one Emma "MSX" Essex (agender, but prefers using she/they). Around 20 artists are currently signed to the label, several being notable members of the [[UsefulNotes/FurryFandom furry community]].

Lapfox is affiliated with another label; [[http://www.breakbitmusic.com/ BreakBit Music]], formerly [=ROFLTrax=], and D-Mode-D are signed to both labels.

Lapfox is also associated with [[https://web.archive.org/web/20110126155845/http://renard.teknolust.org/psurg/index.html Psurg Design]], the design group formerly responsible for many of the releases' album arts and a game starring one of the artists, and VideoGame/{{Mungyodance}}, a VideoGame/StepMania-alike designed by Renard and featuring music from many past and present Lapfox artists. Emma also makes games featuring Lapfox music under the [[https://heckscaper.com/mygames/index.html MuleNgine]] label.

* BrokenPedestal: A noticeable number of fans swore off the label after Renard was [[http://nishimikan-archive.tumblr.com/post/74105986662 accused of rape]]. [[http://cannibro.tumblr.com/post/74003231046/nishimikan-external-link-rape-warning-body Twice]].

Oh, and by the way... All 20 artists are [[CrazyAwesome Emma under]] [[IHaveManyNames different names.]] [[ArchivePanic They released 26 albums in 2010 alone.]]

* TunnelOfForeshadowing: Accidentally; in the album Rainbow Dash Likes Girls there is a song called [[http://lapfox.bandcamp.com/track/truxxxxxxton TRUXXXXXXTON]] which later ended up being an alias.
** Should be noted that the name of the alias is just Truxton, not TRUXXXXXXTON.
