About HERATIKS

In under 2 years HERATIKS (Justin Krause and James Wiggans) have bypassed the industry queue. Moving from underground ‘ones to watch’ to Music Week #1 chart-toppers, the Southwest UK duo has developed, pushed, and championed the industry-coined 'Bass Tech' sound. Fusing chunky tech-house grooves with a distinct garage swing, high-velocity energy, and heavyweight basslines, HERATIKS create music with a singular goal: No fluff, no filler, just energy.

"They didn’t just land on the scene; they booted the doors in."

THE MEN BEHIND THE MACHINE

HERATIKS isn’t a "lucky break" - it’s the result of decades of individual international experience.

Justin Krause (Krausey) brings a history of high-energy sets from his event brand with la Luka, RUBBADUBDUB, to Glastonbury Festival on the Babylon Uprising Stage, across the club circuits of the UK to Barcelona, Greece, Thailand to shows in Hollywood, Orange County and the desert of California.

James Wiggans complements this with extensive tours of Europe, bringing a seasoned ear for exactly what moves a global dancefloor.

Together, they’ve already graced the 3000s in the 103 at the iconic Ministry of Sound in London, proving that whether it’s a dark basement, a warehouse, a summer terrace day party or a main stage, the HERATIKS energy translates.
