"The Feel God Factor" - Fatboy Slim
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 under two years 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 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.
THE STATS & CREDENTIALS
One of the Official remixers for the legendary Alex Party 1993 #1 "Read My Lips". Their 2026 rework of "Read My Lips", along with the Lizzie Curious Mix achieved the #1 spot on the Music Week Commercial Pop Charts (Week 12). 1 of only 15 official remixes ever authorised since the anthem’s iconic 1993 debut, putting HERATIKS alongside legends like K-Klass and Junior Vasquez.
Sales Impact: Hit #10 on the Beatport New Bass House charts, proving their sound as a global DJ staple.
Radio Presence: 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.
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.
Label Pedigree: Debut release, 'Drop Tha Spot' and forthcoming 'Hands Up High' signed to Data Transmission’s ‘dt weapons’ imprint, with 'Drop Tha Spot' hitting Traxsource Tech Charts at #22 and #62 in the South African Dance Music Charts.
BBC Introducing Mini Mix: After consistent support of all HERATIKS releases on the Radio, James Threlfall asked HERATIKS to drop a MiniMix. Opting for a 100% Producer Showcase featuring released, forthcoming releases and works in progress.
Summer 2026 marked a defining milestone for HERATIKS with the release of their peak-time anthem, "Hands Up High" - a track engineered purely for maximum club impact. The record quickly caught the attention of UK dance authority MistaJam (Capital Dance), who gave it an undeniable stamp of approval by breaking the track on his viral 'MistaJam Reacts' social series.
Seeing one of the UK’s most influential radio tastemakers reaction when it dropped delivered a massive, unscripted co-sign that catapulted the record across feeds and club floors alike.
Capturing genuine backing from an industry titan not only established "Hands Up High" as an essential summer staple, but also solidified HERATIKS' rising momentum and reputation for crafting raw, high-energy dancefloor weapons.

Grahame Farmer (Data Transmission) on HERATIKS’ debut ‘Drop Tha Spot’
The duo return to the label with a proper hands-in-the-air club weapon. Big drums, a tight low end and a vocal hook that does exactly what it says on the tin. No messing about. This is tech house built for movement, with enough bass house bite to keep it rowdy when the room starts leaning forward.
