Born Steffen Berkhahn in Hamburg, Germany, Dixon emerged as one of the most influential DJs and producers in modern house and techno. Cutting his teeth on the Berlin club scene during the early 1990s, he soon forged a signature style marked by seamless, emotive mixing and a keen sense for narrative progression. As a resident at clubs like Tresor and WMF, Dixon crafted extended sets that became legendary for their cohesiveness, depth, and emotive impact.

In 2005, he co-founded the seminal label Innervisions with Âme (Kristian Beyer and Frank Wiedemann), establishing a platform that quickly became synonymous with forward-thinking, melodic dance music. Under Dixon’s guidance, Innervisions pushed the boundaries of deep house and techno, propelling artists such as Henrik Schwarz, Agoria, and Marcus Worgull to global recognition. Both as a solo artist and as part of this creative collective, he contributed essential remixes and original productions that have become staples of dance floors worldwide.

Dixon’s reputation rests largely on his formidable DJ skills, earning repeated recognition as Resident Advisor’s #1 DJ in the world. His meticulously constructed sets—imbued with deep emotion, razor-sharp selection, and technical prowess—have captivated audiences from intimate club settings to major festivals like Movement Detroit, Dekmantel, and Time Warp. While selective about studio work, his remixes, including those for The xx, Depeche Mode, and Disclosure, have demonstrated a precise balance of subtlety and innovation.

A respected curator, Dixon extends his influence through visual art, immersive party concepts like “Lost In A Moment,” and close collaboration with cutting-edge fashion and design. Whether behind the decks or shaping the ethos of Innervisions, Dixon remains a pivotal figure in electronic music, revered for his visionary artistry, commitment to quality, and relentless drive to evolve.
