THE PROFILE
Rising from the UK’s South West with a trajectory that defies the standard industry curve, HERATIKS (Justin Krause & James Wiggans) have achieved more in 18 months than most do in a decade. Defined by a "ridiculous" high-energy sound they’ve coined as Bass Tech, the duo fuses driving Tech House with heavy, rolling low-end and a signature garage-influenced swing.
From official remixes of dance music royalty to dominating the airwaves of BBC Radio 1, HERATIKS are no longer a "breakthrough" act—they are a high-impact fixture of the modern club circuit.
THE STATS & CREDENTIALS
Chart Dominance: One of the Official remixers for the legendary Alex Party. Their 2026 rework of "Read My Lips" helped acheive the #1 spot on the Music Week Commercial Pop Charts (Week 12).
Sales Impact: Hit #10 on the Beatport New Bass House charts, proving their sound as a global DJ staple.
Radio Presence: Prestigious support from Jaguar on BBC Radio 1 / R1 Dance, alongside support from The Wideboys (Kisstory) and FM syndicates across the UK, USA, Italy, and Australia.
Label Pedigree: Signed to Data Transmission’s ‘dt weapons’ imprint, with debut originals storming the Traxsource Tech Charts at #22.
The Elite Circle: Joined an exclusive list of only 15 official remixers in history authorised to touch the Alex Party legacy, alongside icons like K-Klass and Junior Vasquez and Lizzie Curious.
THE SOUND: "BASS TECH"
HERATIKS produce "weapons," not just tracks. Their production style is engineered specifically for peak-time festival stacks and sweat-soaked club ceilings. It is a Frankenstein of sub-heavy textures and "booty-shaking" grooves designed with one objective: to make the room move.
