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.

So, step inside Mad Dog's HOUSE, where music is not just heard; it's felt, embraced, and celebrated. Let the beats guide you, and let the rhythm heal you. Welcome to a musical haven where House Music isn't just played; it's lived and cherished, one beat at a time.
