About
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. His debut at EDC Vegas 2025 saw him close out Saturday night with a high energy set that packed the stage to capacity, drawing fire marshals to manage the overflowing crowd. 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.
Restricted officially launched his label and event brand, REVIVE RECORDS in August 2024 debuting with his biggest release "Tunnel Vision". Following a stacked catalogue that continues to earn global support. Revive is now a home for the fast, the energy and anything that makes you want to move. With his boundary-pushing vision and his refreshing style, Restricted isn’t just riding the new wave of the genre, he’s shaping it.
