Steffen Berkhahn, better known as Dixon, is the German DJ and producer who's been tearing up the underground electronic music scene for years. Born in Anklam in 1975 and based in Berlin, Dixon has made an indelible mark on the industry as a solo artist and co-founder of the game-changing label, Innervisions.
Dixon's music journey kicked off early, spinning vinyl at local Berlin raves. His unique blend of house, techno, and melodic electronic vibes quickly ignited the underground scene.
In 2005, Dixon joined forces with Âme’s Kristian Beyer and Frank Wiedemann to launch Innervisions. Now a global powerhouse, Innervisions is famous for its high artistic standards and cutting-edge sounds, making it the ultimate label for electronic music fans.
Dixon has crushed the techno scene with jaw-dropping performances, dropping beats at legendary spots like De School, Gashouder, Warehouse Elementenstraat, and Warehouse Houthavens.
He’s also rocked the hottest clubs and festivals around the globe, from Berghain in Berlin to Fabric in London and Circoloco in Ibiza, to major raves like:
Draaimolen (2018)
Awakenings (2019)
DGTL (2022)
Loveland (2023)
Epic DJ sets, immortalized in iconic drops like "Body Language Vol. 4" (2007), "RA.048" (2007), "Live At Robert Johnson Volume 8" (2011), and "RA.500" (2015), highlight Dixon's unmatched talent in blending genres and creating intense, emotional sound journeys.
On SoundCloud, his unique live sets have also blown minds worldwide. Highlights include "Live from the Village – Dixon", "In Our Wilderness", and "Dixon // Club Quarantäne (27.06.20)."
Dixon's Boiler Room sessions are straight fire, with killer sets like Transmoderna in London, Dekmantel, and the epic "Streaming From Isolation" set.
But Dixon is a top-tier producer too, dropping fire on labels like Innervisions, Sonar Kollektiv, and Poker Flat Recordings. His tracks are pure finesse and precision. Standout bangers include "Wait A Minute" featuring NEZ, "Never Alone (Dix_On The Phone)" with Jimi Jules, and "Snooze 4 Love (Dixon Remix)” with Todd Terje.

Dixon is shaping something that lasts. In 2025, he released a stunning remix of Saschienne’s “Unknown” on Kompakt. It's deep, emotional, and built for those late-night moments on the dancefloor.
Earlier this year, he wrapped up Coachella with a powerful back-to-back set alongside Jimi Jules. It was a reminder that Dixon still knows exactly how to command a crowd.
This September, he’s heading to Los Angeles to headline the 20-year Innervisions showcase, playing alongside Âme, Trikk, Julya Karma and more. It’s a milestone event for the label and for the scene they helped shape.
With fresh releases, standout sets and major shows on the horizon, Dixon isn’t looking back. He’s pushing things forward.
