DOCTOR VOODOO & D-REBEL: (NYC/Moto Oto Records & Empire Traxx) (Hardstyle/Hardcore)
Notoriety and credit is superfluous after nearly two decades as an underground artist, DJ and producer. Being a performer goes way back to the early 1990’s for these two Hardstyle pioneers! Filling out warehouses and abandoned buildings these guys slayed NYC with their incredible sound of Hardness and thrashed every dance floor they were put in front of! Booked at the High Times Cannabis Cup in Amsterdam for several years Doctor Voodoo brought the Netherlands a real dose of some serious Dutch Hardstyle! It is a true pleasure for Maddraver Productions to have the opportunity to bring Doctor Voodoo and D-Rebel into Pittsburgh, PA for the first time ever! Do not miss this opportunity to see a truly amazing tag team set which is quickly becoming a serious force not to be reckoned with!
DJ KONVERGE: (Konverge Music/Pittsburgh, PA)
(Drum N Bass)
If you know Rob aka DJ Konverge then you know he is constantly striving to perfect his music and he spends hours daily practicing and finding new ways to deliver harder, crisper and heart thumping Drum N Bass! DJ Konverge is probably one of the hardest working DJs in Pittsburgh who puts his love of music before life itself! Constantly he’s either mixing, making promotional materials or gathering new sound equipment and new tracks to deliver the finest performance he can each and every time he’s placed on a lineup!
JOHNNY KAOTIC (Moving 4ward /Kikwear / NOWO/ Pittsburgh, Pa)
(Deep House/Tribal House)
Johnny Kaotic is an one of those old skool hardcore DJs/Promoters who for good reason have the support of original scene members such as 7UP who goes back to the early 90's and who is well respected as one of the largest contributors to EDM in the steel city. The Maddraver asked Johnny Kaotic if he would step outside of his normal realm of electro house and breaks and put together a very special first time on any lineup deep house set. What Johnny Kaotic delivered to the Maddraver himself was something with such melodic harmony that the Maddraver instantly knew that this lost genre known as deep house had to be revived and delivered to the masses as a final closing set to a wonderful and magical summer night!

Maddraver productions has been an extraordinary entertainment provider since 1998! Throwing some of the largest and most memorable EDM events in the city of Pittsburgh. It is time that Maddraver Productions takes you back in time to the way a party was and should be. One room. One vibe. We are proud to still be here through thick and thin. Even if you never had the pleasure of encountering one of our spectacular insane events with tons of visual eye candy including mouth watering lasers and heart thumping sound, it is now your turn to see and hear what you've been missing with the return of the Maddraver and his Summer Maddness! It all started with Maddness- an entire line-up of nothing but headliners comprising of UK, Russia, and US performers from east to west coast. With much luv from NY, we pulled off the unthinkable and gathered thousands of party kids in a college gymnasium dome! Next we took on the extreme, the unimaginable, 12 parties in 12 months known as the Zodiac Series. One party for each zodiac sign! With a little help from our friends and partners we pulled off something no other production company has ever done. After these intense, enduring and agonizing months, the Maddraver was placed into a dark and tortuous asylum for the past 13yrs. Confined to a straight jacket, rubber walls and nothing but eat, sleep and repeat. The Maddraver found a way to make his escape. On this 13th year of Maddness, the Maddraver and friends welcome you to an insane event of old skool proportions! We'll be welcoming back headliners from our past events and headliners from the present to help collaborate on this night of Summer Maddness. We'll be debuting a new virgin venue of over 10,000sqft of dance floor to get down and boogy woogy! We'll be welcoming those of the future and those of the past who have supported us all of these years. So get ready Pittsburgh for an extreme party! The Maddraver has made his escape back into society and he's ready and armed with more crazy ideas than before! With an arsenal of fellow friends and supporters who seek what he seeks and shares the visions he has! Remember follow the white rabbit...
