Restricted and Junkie Kid Light Up the Dancefloor with “Pump This Party,” Premiered at Restricted’s Headline Show at Wasteland. Out Now on REVIVE RECORDS


Restricted has quickly become one of the most influential names in the global hard dance movement, with over 100 million streams, multiple Beatport Top 10 hits, and high-profile support from industry heavyweights like Sara Landry, Azyr, and Dimitri Vegas. His explosive singles, including “Rockin’ to the Rhythm,” “Tunnel Vision,” and the #1 Beatport smash “WTF?” with Anderex, have cemented his place as a pioneer in industrial and rawstyle techno. Beyond the stage—where he’s delivered massive sets at EDC Las Vegas and Dreamstate Australia—Restricted has built a thriving digital community with millions of followers and half a billion video plays. In 2024, he launched his label and event brand, REVIVE RECORDS, a home for fast, industrial techno that embodies the energy of the underground while pushing the genre into the future.

Junkie Kid, born in Mexico, has carved out his own lane in dance music with a fearless sound that blends hardstyle, house, and dark melodies into his signature Neo-Hard House. Influenced by legends like Mauro Picotto and DJ Sammy, he began producing at 16 and quickly rose to prominence with early releases like “Claps Up,” followed by collaborations with Sandro Silva and Carnage. Over the years, he’s signed with powerhouse labels including Spinnin’ Records and Mixmash, earned support from Tiësto, Hardwell, and David Guetta, and consistently dominated Beatport charts. Now preparing for his long-awaited debut at Tomorrowland 2025 alongside major new collaborations, Junkie Kid is poised to carry his bold, boundary-pushing vision into a new era of hard techno and beyond.

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 ShowtekTNT) 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

Australian powerhouse Restricted and Mexican innovator Junkie Kid unite on their ferocious new single “Pump This Party”, out September 12 on REVIVE RECORDS. The track is a relentless collision of hammering percussion, distorted synths, and commanding vocals that embody the raw, industrial energy both artists are known for. Designed to tear through underground warehouses and mainstage festival systems alike, it captures the intensity of two pioneers pushing hard dance into a darker, heavier future.

The release arrives on the heels of major career milestones for both producers. Restricted recently ignited a sold-out Wasteland show in Los Angeles alongside Junkie Kid, fresh off his European run through Portugal, the Netherlands, Switzerland, and Italy. His meteoric rise hit a new peak at EDC Las Vegas 2025, where his closing set packed the stage beyond capacity, requiring fire marshals to step in. With upcoming appearances at Teletech Festival UK and a string of sold-out headlining Teletech shows across five cities—selling 17,000 tickets in minutes—Restricted is cementing his reputation as one of the most in-demand names in electronic music. Paired with Junkie Kid’s bold neo-hard house vision, “Pump This Party” stands as a defining anthem for the harder side of dance music in 2025.
