His tracks have been featured on major playlists from Spotify and Apple Music and include hits like “Rockin’ to the Rhythm” and “FCKIN LOUD,” placing him in Beatport’s Hardcore/Neo Rave Top 10. He gained further recognition through his collaboration with Anderex on “WTF?, “ which reached number 1 on Beatport. Restricted is known for powerful performances at festivals like EDC Las Vegas and Dreamstate Australia.

Junkie Kid, originally from Mexico, began his music career at 16, influenced by iconic DJs like Mauro Picotto. He explored various genres, ultimately creating Neo-Hard House with his hit “Perfect.” His career advanced in 2013 with his EP “Check This EP” and the track “Claps Up,” leading to collaborations with artists like Sandro Silva and support from major DJs. Junkie’s music has consistently performed well on Beatport charts, and he is expected to make a significant impact in the hard techno scene in 2025, including a debut at Tomorrowland. His commitment to his craft suggests an exciting future ahead.
Restricted now teams up with his Mexican counterpart Junkie Kid for their sinister new single, “Pump This Party,” out now on REVIVE RECORDS. Pulsing at breakneck speed, the track fuses hammering percussion with distorted synths and commanding vocals – “Oh yeah, you want to rock now… Pump this Groove, Pump this Party.” It’s the kind of intense cut destined to both underground warehouses and mainstage festival rigs. Fresh from a sold-out show at Wasteland in Los Angeles, where both Restricted and Junkie Kid performed, and Restricted‘s stream of European appearances in Portugal, the Netherlands, Switzerland, and Italy, Restricted is now back in North and South America to continue to channel the Industrial and Rawstyle energy that have made him one of the most in-demand names in electronic dance music today. Not to be groundless, Restricted‘s debut at EDC Vegas 2025 saw him close out Saturday night with a set so powerful that his stage surpassed capacity within minutes, requiring fire marshals to step in and manage the surging crowd. Now, he’s set to take things even further – announced on the lineup for this summer’s Teletech Festival in the UK and has already sold out solo Headlining Teletech events in Manchester, Sydney, Melbourne, Perth, and Brisbane, selling out 17000 tickets in minutes.
“If ADHD was a track, it would be this. With all 3 drops, all we wanted was to make them completely different, but still make them fit in one track while keeping it exciting and energetic. We took influence from early hardstyle (artists like Showtek, TNT) and merged with industrial/raw elements, old school vocals, and too many fake drops. Have been loving to play this one out over the summer and is always a highlight in our sets.” – Restricted
“Working with Rhys on this one was so much fun, since we use the same DAW we are always talking about how bad or good the DAW is, haha. So we finally decided to finish this collab; we have been working on it for months now. I love how it came out, a total crowd hyper. I’m pretty sure this is not gonna be our only collab together. But in the meantime, enjoy this banger.” – Junkie Kid
