In addition to her theatre and academic work, Maddie is an avid vinyl collector and DJ. (She welcomes new friends on Discogs.) She received her first turntable as a gift when she was nine years old, and has been passionate about crate digging ever since. Whether she’s spinning psychedelic soul, no wave, or obscure folk, she aims to craft sets that evoke the sense of warmth and community one feels at a cookout. Maddie’s approach to both collecting and selecting reflects the expansiveness of her musical interests and taste, driven by her aspiration of getting into the shared magic of the collective groove.

Maddie has been a guest selector at Folk Arts Rare Records (San Diego), Part Time Lover (San Diego), Sound By The Sea (Oceanside), and other Southern California spaces and private events. For inquiries, email maddie.williams.1997@gmail.com, use the contact form below, or DM on Instagram @maddiemaew.
