Herbalistek

Herbalistek is a Tokyo-based producer/DJ duo crafting experimental bass music rooted in immersive sound design, shifting rhythms, and psychedelic intensity. Blending influences from techno, dubstep, IDM, trap and downtempo, their sets bridge murky low-end with vibrant textures, offering a genre-defiant experience built for the dancefloor and beyond.

Rising from Japan’s underground, they’ve supported acts like Tipper, G Jones, Hamdi, Ivy Lab, Ternion Sound, EPROM and DJ KRUSH, and performed at festivals including Fuji Rock, Ultra Japan, Re:birth, Harukaze, and EDC Japan, where they earned a mainstage slot via the Discovery Project.

Internationally, Herbalistek has performed across Asia and Australia, and in 2024 made a powerful US debut at The Rendezvous in Florida, sharing the stage with Tipper, Jade Cicada, Detox Unit, and more, followed by Infrasound Equinox in Minnesota.

In 2025, Herbalistek also performed at the iconic Gorge Amphitheater in Washington for Tipper and Friends: one of the most celebrated events in the global psychedelic bass scene. Sharing the stage with artists such as Shpongle, Cut Chemist, LTJ Bukem, Badun, Shmoop, SuperSillyUs and more, this performance marked a milestone in their artistic journey.

Their self-curated event series SECTOR has brought key figures like GOTH-TRAD, DJ KRUSH, and EPROM to Tokyo, cementing Herbalistek as driving forces in Japan’s experimental bass scene.

With growing support from international artists including Polygonia, JakoJako, Simo Cell, Beatrice M and more - they continue expanding their reach across genres and borders.
