Australian DJ, producer, and label curator, Restricted has carved out a cult-like following blends elements from psy, rawstyle, industrial, hardcore, while pulling elements from other harder styles. The Adelaide-raised artist spent the past decade refining his craft in the studio and on the club circuit before breaking onto the
international stage.

Amassing over half a billion streams, Restricted’s music has been backed by the likes of Sara Landry, I Hate Models, Holy Priest, Nico Moreno, NOVAH, blk., and a long list of heavyweights in the genre. Restricted has become a fixture in Beatport’s Hardcore/Neo Rave charts with singles like “Tunnel Vision,” “Hardcore (Give Me a MFkin Breakbeat),” “FCKIN LOUD,” and “WTF?” all reaching #1. His music has been spotlighted on key editorial playlists such as Spotify’sHard Techno and Workout Beats, as well as Apple Music’s Dance in Spatial Audio, among others.

“Tunnel Vision,” his collaboration with Nik Sitz, has become a defining record in the hard techno scene; with the song emphasizing the harder elements of the genre. The track has shaped a new sound for the next wave of producers, cementing Restricted as a pioneer within the hard dance space. Restricted’s latest “Pump This Party” with Junkie Kid, once again rips through the dancefloor blueprint, drawing influence from early hardstyle (artists like Showtek/ TNT) and merging them with
industrial/ raw elements, old school vocals, and three distinct drops that connect seamlessly within one high-powered track. The song has already been praised by Your EDM, We Rave You, EDM Identity and more.

From shutting down festival stages at EDC Las Vegas, Creamfields UK and Dreamstate Australia; Restricted has solidified his status as one of the most talked-about names in the new wave of hard dance.

He has continued the momentum by packing venues across America, Canada, Europe, and Asia.
