Damagekin jatkaa edelleen toimintaansa, mutta nyttemmin yhden miehen orkesterina Jamesin siirryttyä työskentelemään täysin Broken Toyn parissa.
Hänen soundinsa tunnistettavia kulmakiviä ovat tietynlainen leikkisä synkkyys sekä tolkuton groove. 2 täyspitkää levyä sekä kymmeniä kappaleita eri kokoelmilla julkaissut etelä-afrikkalaistuottaja on ehdottomasti oman genrensä kovimpia nimiä.

The story of Hux-Flux started back in 1998 when Dennis Tapper started making music after being heavily influenced by the legendary kilsbergen partys outside Örebro, Sweden. After a few releases on his own, including the hit "Time slices", Dennis started to work with Jonas Petterson (AKA Tranan) and they produced the the legendary album "Cryptic Crunch" together. Later on Dennis moved to Stockholm and started to work with his old friend Henric Fietz. Their work resulted in some killer classics, like "Idiot", "Bring your own BIOS", as well as the album "Division by Zero".
Dennis also produced tracks on his own during this time, still under the name hux-flux, some examples of this are the dancefloor hits "Reflux" and "Equivalent Equations". Lately, Dennis have also been working with the project "Tryptamind" together with Ibojima. And now, Dennis is heavily involved in the completely new and fresh chillout/dub/ambient project "Illuminus" together with Magnus Holte.
