Harnessing a distinct brand of artistry that knows no categorical bounds, the DJ, producer and record label head has cemented herself as one of the music industry’s most in-demand names at nothing short of breakneck speed. Her signature sonic approach masterfully blends genres with a visceral energy that commands attention, the ardent catalyst in her meteoric rise from Belgium’s underground to global phenomenon status.

Filippo Calcagni, better known by his artist name DJ Mad Dog, is an Italian DJ, producer,  and owner of Dogfight Records.

Known for his furious and flaming beats that range across all tempos, Italian Hardcore sensation Mad Dog is unquestionably one of the industry’s most consistent producers. Active in the scene since 1999 and an exponent of the Millennium and Modern Hardcore eras, Mad Dog has remained in an unshakeable position through all of the genre’s twists and turns. 

He’s performed on the world’s biggest stages at Thunderdome, EDC Las Vegas, Qlimax, Mysteryland, Dominator, and many more.

Making music since the age of fourteen and when busy doing so always forgetting other things to do, sounds familiar doesn't it? 

Thirteen years later and still making music with more experience, better software and hardware. But as any producer or performer: Never 100% pleased with the results. Always trying to expand my own creative libary and starting over and over again, just for fun.

Never could have thought that since octobre 2010 my tracks were played at party's in the Netherlands and all over europe. Mostly done by my own best friend: Steve, big respect! On the first of september 2011 my first release was a fact. Asked by GGM Records, Steve and I made: GGM Digital 009 and GGM Digital 022. In 2012 I had some appereances on various albums, some other labels and my first solo EP. 

Since then the bookings came one after another such as great gigs like: Masters Of Hardcore  -  Defqon.1 Festival  -  Beter Kom Je Niet  -  Army Of Hardcore  -  Dominator Festival  -  Footworxx and much more. Four years ago I signed at BKJN bookings and since then I still haven't had enough.
