DJ MADDOG MATT

The bulldog of the booth. A festival headliner who treats a 500-cap club like main stage — and main stage like his front garden. Loud, punctual, and impossible to ignore.

01

Festival Headline Set

Sixty to ninety minutes of main-stage control. A custom intro mix, walk-in programming and a set shaped to your festival's sound profile and curfew — not a preset. The Kennel travels in checked cargo, crew arrives three hours early, and the drop lands exactly when the pyro does.

04 — THE DOG

MEET MADDOG MATT

Festivals want a headliner they can't ignore.

Matt's been pressing play since the mixtape era — cutting in the back room of a record shop, then taking that same stubborn, unmissable energy to stages that get measured in decibels, not metres. The bulldog isn't a gimmick. It's a brief: wide stance, short leash on boring, and a low growl of bass before anything else moves.

05 — HOW IT WORKS

FROM SNIFF TO BARK

01

The Sniff

Send the form. You get availability, a full quote and the tech rider within 48 hours — no chasing, no "we'll circle back".

02

The Soundcheck

A planning call to shape the set: walk-in tracks, intro mix, set length, curfew, and how loud "loud" is for this room.

03

The Warm-Up

Crew lands three hours before doors. The Kennel gets built, the chain gets tested, the backup chain gets tested twice.

04

The Main Event

On time, on beat, on cue. When the set ends, the booth folds away and the only thing left behind is the echo.

07 — DOG TAGS

QUESTIONS, ANSWERED

01How far ahead should I book?

Festivals: six to twelve months. Club dates: two to six weeks. Private events: four weeks or more. Good dates get chewed up fast — if yours is on the list, the dog hears about it first.

02What do you actually play?

House, hip-hop, disco and bangers — sequenced to the room, not the playlist. For private events, your request list is welcome: curated, not commanded. The dance floor gets what it wants, delivered in the right order.

03Do you travel?

Worldwide. Flights and hotels billed at cost, line by line, on the final invoice. The Kennel travels in checked cargo — yes, really; no, the dog is not coming, the booth is.

04What does the venue need to provide?

3× 16A power, 3.5 m booth clearance and backline access. The full tech rider goes out with every quote, so your production team has everything before load-in, not on the day.

05How long are sets?

Festival: 60–90 minutes, built to your curfew. Club: three to four hours. Private: from two hours to whenever the last dance ends. Every format has its own set architecture — a festival slot is not a long club set in a trench coat.

06How do deposits work?

30% holds the date, balance due 14 days before the event. One reschedule allowed, no drama — the kennel has been run by adults with dogs, after all.
