Hux Flux
Dennis Rickard Tapper, known professionally as Hux Flux, was a Swedish psychedelic trance producer. His music blended Goa and psytrance aesthetics with an effects-driven, mechanical sound that became influential in the late 1990s and early 2000s.
Career
Tapper began producing after attending forest parties near Örebro, Sweden, forming Hux Flux in 1998. Early singles included “Time Slices / Perceptor”, followed by the debut album Cryptic Crunch on Koyote Records, later remastered by Avatar/ProFile. He subsequently worked with Henric Fietz, resulting in tracks such as “Idiot” and “Bring Your Own BIOS”.A second album, Division by Zero, appeared on Spiral Trax, and a third, Circle Sine Sound, was released on Z-Plane Records.
Tapper also co-founded the psydub/ambient project Illuminus with Magnus Holte, releasing the album Sweep Dreams on Z-Plane Records.
On 15 May 2018, Tapper died after an accidental drowning in a lake near his home. He was 43.
