Noel Goessens (Maddee V) is a veteran DJ, producer, and label executive with nearly three decades of experience in the global underground electronic music scene. Active since 1996, Noel has developed a multifaceted artistic identity expressed through several aliases: THEMADDEEJAY (hard-hitting techno and Schranz), Maddee V (Hard Techno, Techno, Tech House, Organic House, House, Tribal House, Hip Hop, and R&B), and XenTraX (deep and experimental Psy-Trance productions).
As a performer, Noel is known for his ability to read the crowd and shape immersive journeys across genres and settings—from underground raves to beachside sunset sessions. His technical mastery spans Pioneer, Traktor Pro 4, Kontrol S4 MK2, Maschine MK2, and advanced streaming setups, allowing him to bridge traditional DJing with modern hybrid and livestream formats.
In the studio, mainly using Ableton Live, Noel is equally versatile, crafting tracks that balance raw underground energy with refined sound engineering. His skills in sound design, mixing, mastering, and phase alignment make him a trusted audio engineer as well as an innovative producer.
Beyond his own artistry, Noel is the CEO & A&R Manager of MadMinds Records Philippines and A&R Manager at Basscontrollism Records Netherlands, where he supports emerging talent and curates influential releases such as the upcoming Hard Techno In My Veins Vol. 1. His vision extends to event promotion and creative branding, shaping experiences that merge sound, culture, and community.
From the pounding energy of THEMADDEEJAY to the eclectic versatility of Maddee V and the futuristic soundscapes of XenTraX, Noel Goessens stands as a true architect of underground culture.
