Lizzie Curious
We couldn't do a post without talking about our friend Lizzie; a world-class producer and vocalist with a global presence on labels such as Toolroom and playing international events such as Groove Cruise. Her own label Curious Energy had it's own stage at Fatboy Slim's All Back To Minehead in 2025 where we met Lizzie and the Curious Energy Crew and where this whole journey for HERATIKS with Charlie Big & Shanie started. You can hear more about that here!
