Available now through Verknipt label, the high-octane collaboration is already climbing the Beatport Hardcore/Neo Rave charts.
In a time when the underground is colliding with the mainstream, Restricted and Anderex have unleashed a seismic force onto the hard techno scene with their latest track, “WTF?” Released under Verknipt, the powerhouse label known for shaping the harder sounds of the underground, this high-intensity collaboration is already making waves.
Blending the aggression of rawstyle with the relentless energy of hard techno, “WTF?” delivers a pulsating, adrenaline-fueled ride, tailor-made for the peak hours of a warehouse rave. With thunderous kicks, distorted synths, and a hypnotic vocal hook, this track doesn’t just demand attention – it takes complete control of the dance floor.
Following the success of his previous singles, “FCKIN LOUD” with Vortek and “Rockin to the Rhythm,” Restricted has doubled down on his signature chaotic and abrasive energy, perfectly aligning with Verknipt’s notorious events. “WTF?” is already climbing the Beatport Hardcore/Neo Rave charts, cementing its place as a defining release in the scene.
“When Anderex and I started working on WTF? We wanted to make a crossover track with both hard techno and raw elements. The idea was to bring the raw and hard techno communities together and make something that could be played at both techno/raw events.” – Restricted
Restricted’s rise has been fueled by his viral presence on TikTok, Instagram, and YouTube, where his videos have amassed over 500 million views. His music has been championed by industry heavyweights like Azyr, Sara Landry, and Dimitri Vegas, further solidifying his influence in the new wave of hard dance. Meanwhile, German-based producer Anderex has been carving his own path, earning support from Code Black, Sub Zero Project, and Atmozfears with his innovative rawstyle productions. Having dominated stages at Defqon.1, REBiRTH Festival, and Decibel Festival, Anderex brings his intricate sound design and raw, distorted kicks to “WTF?” with electrifying results.
As the track continues its rapid ascent, both artists are poised to shake up the scene even further, with major festival appearances lined up at Teletech Festival on August 2 and Insomniac’s Electric Daisy Carnival (EDC).
