  Paul Van Dyk

  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.

Restricted carried the chaos to Australia with a collaborative tour with Teletech, selling 17,000 tickets in minutes. He has continued the momentum by packing venues across America, Canada, Europe, and Asia.
  
  Balancing authentic energy with a distinct, refined style, Restricted resonates with a fast-growing online community. Since his debut single in 2019, the 25-year-old producer has amassed 1 million followers, 22 million TikTok likes, 300 million Instagram views, and exceeded his videos past 800 million views across all platforms.

  It takes a strong heart and inventive mind to live on the very top of the electronic dance scene – especially if your career spans nearly two decades. Luckily, German producer and DJ Alex M.O.R.P.H. holds both of these, along with a lively spirit that seems to feed on music. His ways with melody are widely known and loved, the M.O.R.P.H. sound a phenomenon that grabs the audience time and again, and the constant drive to reinvent himself is a mere reflection of his ability to stay ahead of the game. Backed up by a long list of highlights, yet ever looking out for the future, Alex M.O.R.P.H. is one of the rare characters to add color to the scene. And he’s not nearly done bringing the world his musical portrait.

  The M.O.R.P.H. Sound

  Through each of the Alex M.O.R.P.H. originals, he tells a story. In a unique blend of energy, emotion and power, he connects music with feeling. And it is felt. With over 90 originals on his discography, including the mass-movers of ‘An Angel’s Love’, ‘Sunset Boulevard’, A State of Trance 2014 Tune of the Year runner-up ‘The Reason’, ‘Eternal Flame’ and ‘Walk The Edge’, it’s clear that Alex is way past the rookie stage. Looking back on two successful artist albums, the 2009 ‘Purple Audio’ and 2013 ‘Prime Mover’ albums, the ‘Hands On Armada – Part 2’ remix compilation, as well as collaborations with Armin van Buuren, Paul van Dyk, Rank1 and of course lifelong studio partner Woody van Eyden, it’s really the challenge in production itself that inspires Alex to push his boundaries. With a brand new artist album coming up in the summer of 2015, inspiration continues to thrive in the M.O.R.P.H. studio and fans barely need to bide their time to enjoy new originals.

  Each of his remixes, whether for Dash Berlin, Armin van Buuren, Faithless, Ayumi Hamasaki, Aly & Fila, Within Temptation or any other of the more than 120 remixes he’s done, displays his ability to create a different angle to a track and give it that Alex M.O.R.P.H. spin. A spin that is not only loved, appraised and welcomed by the industry’s key players, but also continuously surprises fans of the charismatic producer. His remixes are known to capture the imagination, as melody combines melancholy and banging beats melt together with warmth, creating an endless dance of elements.

  The M.O.R.P.H. Experience

  In his ongoing upward trajectory, Alex has seen a staggering amount of packed clubs, main stage decks and extraordinary events – featuring no one less than the man himself. From the legendary Trance Energy and A State of Trance events to Cream Ibiza, Mayday, Nature One, Soundtropolis, Stadium of Sound, Electronic Family and Ultra Music Festival, the list goes on and on. Legendary clubs and venues like Godskitchen, Monday Bar, Ushuaia Ibiza, Mandarine, Space Miami and most definitely the massive Madison Square Garden in New York, have witnessed some of Alex M.O.R.P.H.’s personal favorite sets and highlight moments in his career.

  After more than 11 years as the co-founder of the treasured HeavensGate events – with clubnights and festival events happening everywhere from Ibiza and Germany to Malaysia, South Korea and UK - and 450 episodes as the co-host of the critically acclaimed HeavensGate radio show, 2015 has had a new concept in store for Alex. He kicked off his spanking new Universal Nation show and podcast, a weekly gathering to unite his fans as one and showcase exclusives, talents and must-hear tracks. Universal Nation marks another challenge in Alex’ comprehensive career as a fully-fledged artist, and lets listeners from all over the world experience what the man and his music are all about.

  Alex embarked on some very exciting adventures in 2016, including the launch of his own label “Universal Nation” and the release of his latest artist album “Not All Superheroes Wear Capes”, including numerous Top10 singles such as the collab “We Are” with Paul van Dyk that became the most successful Trance single of the year at Beatport.

  In 2017 Mr. M.O.R.P.H. continued his journey with even more Top10 singles and remixes (Armin van Buuren, Svenson & Gielen) with more collabs still to hit the stores (collab follow-ups with Paul van Dyk and Heatbeat), not to ignore bookings for prestigious festivals like Tomorrowland, Sziget Festival, Ultra and many more. Bringing the scene some extraordinary and daring originals and collabs, while rocking the stage, Alex M.O.R.P.H. lets the music speak for itself. You’re more than welcome to follow him on his trail, as he heads out for musical synergy.

  Bryan Kearney

  Whether you know him for Kearney, Karney, Kearnage or Key4050, under ‘K’ in electronic music’s encyclopedia is where you’ll find him. Powered by life, musically Bryan’s either done it, is about to … or it just ain’t his thing. Covering the broadest-of-broad electronic music scopes, ‘energy’s Kearney’s only keyword … and ‘why limit yourself?’ his only maxim. Where those points cross lies the ignition for every one of his K-initialled enterprises.

  Many will best recognise him for his solo work, or his smartly cultivated production/vocal team-ups – ones that have brought a convoy of floorward-thinking anthems and future classics to fans. Notably among them have been two ASOT Tunes of The Year (most recently with 2022’s Plumb-sung ‘Take This’).

  Under his Karney mask, tech-infected numbers like ‘Snarl’, ‘Rumination’, ‘Smiler’ and ‘Compromise’ have served his darker, dirtier studio inclinations, finding set-favour with scene icons like Adam Beyer and others. Through their back-to-the-roots ‘Tales Of The Temple’ project and globe-circling shows, as Key4050, he and John O’Callaghan elevated the collaboration dynamic to an entirely new level.

  However, it is as a standalone artist and mainstage operator that he’s today most swiftly recognised. He’s a DJ who can read an audience’s innermost desires at a thousand yards and hold them rapt in his palm for seven or more concert-performing hours.

  Be it Kearney, Karney, Kearnage or Key4050, his position in electronic music’s hall of fame’s long since been secured … Find him there under ‘K’
