Restricted
Bio
Restricted’s rise to stardom has been accelerated by his TikTok, Instagram, and YouTube presence, where his videos have collectively amassed over 500 million views over the past three years. With 100 million+ streams and features on top editorial playlists (including but not limited to): Apple Music’s “Dance in Spatial Audio”, Spotify’s "Dance Generation" and "Hard Techno” playlists, it’s clear that is music journey is just scratching the surface of what’s yet to unfold. His music has also been championed by the likes of Azyr, Sara Landry, Clara Curve, Dimitri Vegas, NOVAH, BYORN, and WINSON. He is also no stranger to the Beatport Charts topping #1 for his single "WTF?", and breaking the top 10 on Hardcore/Neo Rave charts for singles "Rockin' to the Rhythm", "Tunnel Vision", and "FCKIN LOUD". 2024 was nothing short of explosive for Restricted. His ability to fuse high-energy club anthems with the raw, industrial grit of hard techno has earned him a cult-like following, seeing his fan base grow exponentially across Europe, Australia, America, and beyond. From shutting down festival stages like the latest Insomniac’s Dreamstate in Sydney to dropping viral tracks racking up millions of streams; Restricted has cemented his status as one of the most talked-about names in the new wave of hard dance. Now, with "WTF?" dominating global playlists and setlists alike, he’s proving once again that he’s not just riding the wave—he’s defining it. Now, he’s set to take things even further—Restricted has been officially announced on the lineup for Teletech Festival on August 2nd. One defining moment in March 2024 further cemented his viral status—when a fan unexpectedly jumped onto his CDJs mid-performance. Instead of shutting it down, Restricted let the fan continue mixing, seamlessly transitioning into a track that sent the crowd into a frenzy. This moment was captured on video and has since exploded across social media, racking up 90 million views across TikTok and Instagram and solidifying his reputation as an artist who thrives in chaos. Taking his vision to the next level, Restricted officially debuted his label and event brand, REVIVE RECORDS in Summer 2024 with the earth-shattering hit, "Tunnel Vision", a collaboration between Restricted and Nik Sitz. REVIVE is more than a label—it’s an industrial soundscape where the BPMs are faster, the bass hits harder, and the energy never stops surging. A breeding ground for high-intensity, industrial hard techno that doesn’t just demand attention—it takes it by force. What sets Restricted apart isn’t just his sound—it’s his ability to capture the underground’s intensity and inject it with modern rave’s chaotic, unfiltered energy.
