About

Restricted, the Adelaide producer behind a pile of TikTok born hits, has made a name by blurring the line between underground and mainstage. His sound mixes techno, hard dance and hardstyle, and he's open about wanting to make those subgenres easier for bigger crowds to enjoy. He uses short form social media as a testing ground, dropping tracks online and following the reactions. That's how "Big Jet Plane", his remix of the Angus & Julia Stone song, took off, even charting in Germany and Poland in 2023. His minimal techno take on the Squid Game chant also went round the internet and picked up close to a million streams on SoundCloud. In 2024 he launched his own label, Revive Records, with "Tunnel Vision" alongside Nik Sitz, a hard techno and hardstyle collision that other DJs in the scene picked up and that later got its own remix EP. Since then he's teamed up with Anderex, Rebelion and Junkie Kid on harder, heavier tracks. He's played festivals like Ultra Australia, Parookaville, Airbeat One, EDC Vegas and Creamfields.
