Founder/Owner @true-identity-records

Francesco Argentieri, class '96, is a South Italy based DJ and producer.

Since he was a child, his parents noticed his natural attitude to the music's listening and appreciation, developing in the early years of adolescence his love for rock and metal music.
Since then, he started studying music, at first with classical guitar to then approach to the electric one.

Growing up, developing his own musical taste and getting experienced, even attending his first parties in the clubs, he matured an affinity with techno music, and so he started at first learning the roots of mixing, while still always searching for the most unheard music from all over the globe, making of him an ever-growing DJ, who thanks to his various musical influences, always manages to offer high impact DJ sets on the dancefloor.

2019 marks his debut as a producer, releasing on a VV.AA. for the infamous Dutch label Planet Rhythm, to then release in 2020 his first EP on Insolate's Out Of Place and in 2021 his first LP, "Natural Killer", on Diffuse Reality.

Welcome to Mad Dog's HOUSE, where the vibrant beats of Washington, D.C.'s music culture come alive! Nestled in the heart of Upper Marlboro, Maryland, just a stone's throw away from the bustling streets of Washington, D.C., Mad Dog's journey through music is nothing short of extraordinary.

Growing up in the eclectic music scene of the D.C. Metropolitan area, Mad Dog was deeply influenced by the pulsating rhythms of the local "Go Go" music culture. This early exposure laid the foundation for his enduring love affair with music, expanding to embrace the realms of Hip Hop, Dancehall Reggae, and the infectious grooves of House Music.

Mad Dog's passion for deejaying was a seed planted in his youth, nurtured by the musical camaraderie of his high school friends, John Ashford (DJ AyCE), and Andrew Zook (DJ Andy Z). However, it wasn't until 25 years later, while navigating the challenges of post-military life and battling bouts of depression, that he found solace in the art of deejaying. For him, the turntables became more than just instruments; they were therapeutic tools, providing an escape from the shadows of depression without relying on constant medication. Mad Dog firmly believes that House Music isn't just a genre; it's a healing elixir for the soul.

At Mad Dog's HOUSE, you'll experience a musical tapestry unlike any other. His mixes are a fusion of Soulful House, Deep House, Latin House, Jackin' House, Tech House, Gospel House, Afro House, Nu Disco, and Disco, all meticulously woven together in a single set. The result? An immersive experience that transcends boundaries and invites you to unwind, kick off your shoes, and make yourself at home. ¡Su casa es tu casa!

Mad Dog is not just a solitary artist; he's a collaborator, a networker, and a passionate advocate for the House Music community. Actively engaging with fellow House Music DJs on platforms like SoundCloud, he strives to uplift and promote the genre through collaborative efforts. His 30 for 30 House Music Mix Series stands as a testament to this dedication, showcasing unique pairings and creative collaborations that have birthed a close-knit "family" of DJs. Together, they craft entertaining 30-minute mixes, driven by their shared love for House Music and its diverse sub-genres.
