Dennis Rickard Tapper (18 November 1974 – 15 May 2018), 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.[1]
Career
Tapper began producing after attending forest parties near Örebro, Sweden, forming Hux Flux in 1998.[2] Early singles included “Time Slices / Perceptor”, followed by the debut album Cryptic Crunch (1999) on Koyote Records, later remastered by Avatar/ProFile.[3] He subsequently worked with Henric Fietz, resulting in tracks such as “Idiot” and “Bring Your Own BIOS”.[1]
A second album, Division by Zero (2003), appeared on Spiral Trax,[4] and a third, Circle Sine Sound (2015), was released on Z-Plane Records.[5]
Tapper also co-founded the psydub/ambient project Illuminus with Magnus Holte, releasing the album Sweep Dreams (2015) on Z-Plane Records.[6][2]
On 15 May 2018, Tapper died after an accidental drowning in a lake near his home. He was 43.[7][8]
