HERATIKS is the collaboration between James Wiggans and Justin Krause (aka Krausey). Both have made their mark individually, playing across the UK, Europe and further afield - from beach bars and clubs at festivals in Kavos and club nights in Ibiza and Barcelona, to events in Thailand and festivals and events in California from Palm Desert to Hollywood, Los Angeles to Newport Beach in Orange County with various productions and alias' from House and Trance to Dubstep and Breakbeat.
Now working together as HERATIKS, they’re focused on producing and playing high-energy tech, deep and bass house. With multiple releases in the pipeline on various labels, they’re quickly gaining momentum.
Their debut release—a remix of The Blessed Madonna & Kylie Minogue’s “Edge of Saturday Night”—has already been making noise, receiving DJ support from Miami to the Alps' après-ski parties, and across Europe’s club and festival scene in Ibiza and beyond! Get the FREE DOWNLOAD HERE!
“Over the winter, James and I got completely lost in the studio production! We didn’t hit up promoters, not because we didn’t want to play, but because we didn’t feel we had the right music to get out ...yet. We wanted to be sure what we were making actually had legs. And honestly? We weren’t sure until we put out our remix of ‘Edge of Saturday Night’ check it out and started posting clips of other tracks we were working on. People - and labels - were into it. That gave us the push we needed!
Our first proper show was at Bomba in Exeter and we owe a huge thank you to Andy for giving us that opportunity and to our friend Steph Sugarshaker who introduced us. Dropping the remix and our track 'Drop Tha Spot' at Bomba, on their Funktion One System lit the fuse properly and we came away buzzing!
Since then we hit the studio a heap, working on tracks. We played House of Funk in Taunton , where we dropped ‘Papi’, our Latin tech track in the works. An old mate of mine - now signed to Sony - was there and LOVED what we're producing.... There might be some remix work coming through that soon, which is mad and exciting but can't say anything more than that.
Now we’ve got a run of shows locked in across the southwest:
• April 19th - Day Time Sessions, Beat Bunker

• June 14 – Summer House Vibes, Watchfield

We’re seriously grateful to everyone who’s supported us so far. It’s early days, but the energy is real. Let’s go!
