The Quick Brown Fox (also known as and often called TQBF), is an alias under the Halley Labs / LapFox Trax label who is a fox-shaped piñata that produces speedcore and gabber.
The Quick Brown Fox is recognized mostly for their staccato synth lines and very fast tempos, ranging from approximately 200 beats per minute up to and over 1000 beats per minute.
Emma has stated that the original driving force to creating the alias was inspiration from m1dy's speedcore productions and the generally upbeat or non-serious tone, which tends to be a stark contrast against speedcore's generally serious and angry tone. As such, TQBF is often seen as a good entry point for speedcore, as it is accessible, if not through melodic content, then through comedic.
Their character design was created by Emma and Squeedge, and was based on the design of Paulie Pretztail from Viva Piñata[1].

Biography
a piñata that was animated through unknown means. just kidding. TQBF is a series of experimental projects with the goal of building a resilient, thin robotic shell. initally lacking personality, an increasingly complex neural network has been built for these projects. at some point it was given the ability to speak, though only through a port of Software Automatic Mouth. it is unknown what iteration of TQBF is currently active, and they all differ in slight ways. at some point, the network developed a strong fondness for BANDETTO.
