::BIO::

Heretik's taste in dance music originally came from a d'n'b background, a passion for 'raw & heavy' sounds are a staple in his music palette. As with his earlier productions at faster tempos he continues to bring a unique view and style to his music while still managing to keep the funk throughout.
Having been locked away in his Home Studio for near on 10 years, Heretik originally grabbed at the chance to learn music production shortly after he started DJing. This in turn has helped him over the years to perfect all aspects & skills in music making.
Heretik's first release in 2005, 'Tumid', was signed to the budding digital label 'VoodooFreqs' and is a perfect example of the raw energy that flows through his music. April 2007 saw him step up to the plate and release a 12" vinyl pressing of 'Relapse' & 'Deadweight' on Fight Club [Title Fight] Recordings which found its way into the record bags of Introspective, Kickflip, Dopamine, & The Robosapians.
Inspired to delve deep into electronic music arose from attending raves at the young age of 15 which progressed into playing local parties and small rave events as a Dj in his spare time. A last minute entry posting to an organizer saw Heretik take out a first place position in the Murdoch University DJ competition '00.
Gathering up the prize of a DJ Set infront of 5,000+ people at Yak It Up - Perth, things began to flourish into a number of guest appearances around town and onto the airwaves. Travelling overseas in recent times has seen Heretik supporting the likes of Krafty Kuts and the Stanton Warriors in what now is the defunct iBO Nightclub in Dubai.
Impressing Canadian superstar duo Influenza behind Epidemic Records, commisioned Heretik to remix their dub infused roller 'The Looking Glass' which scheduled for vinyl release on September 10th. Heretik also has a double sided 12" release (Horizon/Fade Away) out on Epidemic Records later in the year.
