In a scene where underground sounds are muscling into the mainstream, Restricted has emerged as a force to be reckoned with. The Australian-born producer’s latest release, “WTF?”, sees him join forces with Anderex to deliver a hard techno anthem that’s already tearing up the Beatport Hardcore/Neo Rave charts. Released under Verknipt, a label known for shaping the harder sounds of the underground, this track is a brutal blend of rawstyle aggression and relentless hard techno energy.
“WTF?” is designed for the peak hours of a warehouse rave – the track follows Restricted’s previous bangers like “FCKIN LOUD” with Vortek and “Rockin to the Rhythm,” bringing an even more chaotic energy to the table. As if the track’s success isn’t enough, Restricted’s recent announcement for Teletech Festival and Insomniac’s Electric Daisy Carnival is proof he’s on the rise to say the least.
Both artists are no strangers to the limelight. Restricted’s rise has been supercharged by viral moments, including a jaw-dropping festival set that exploded across TikTok and Instagram, racking up millions of views. Anderex, meanwhile, kills it with raw-style anthems that have rocked major festivals like Defqon.1 and REBiRTH. Together, they’ve crafted a crossover of styles, leaving fans and critics alike asking, “WTF just happened?”
