Alan Dixon Returns to the Decks at 77 with Max Menaged and the Launch of HOTLINE

In an industry obsessed with youth, trends, and the next big thing, there’s something inspiring about artists who continue evolving while staying true to their musical identity. For Alan Dixon, the journey has never been about chasing moments, it’s been about creating them.

Now, as he returns to DJ at 77 alongside collaborator Max Menaged, Dixon is entering a new chapter with the launch of their label, HOTLINE. The event marks more than another ‘club appearance’; it signals the beginning of a creative platform designed to champion the sounds, artists, and community they believe in.

Dixon has spent years carving out a reputation for emotionally charged dance music that blends disco influences, melodic house, and underground sensibilities. His productions and DJ sets have taken him from London's club scene to international stages, earning support from some of electronic music’s most respected names. Resident Advisor describes him as a London-based artist with releases on labels including Running Back, Permanent Vacation, and Correspondant, while also highlighting his longstanding connection to the city's nightlife scene.

The launch of HOTLINE represents a natural progression. Rather than simply releasing records, Dixon and Max Menaged are building a home for music that exists between genres, music made for dance floors, late-night journeys, and lasting connections. The pair recently introduced the label with their collaborative release "The Light," a record that blends melodic and Afro-house influences with atmospheric vocals and uplifting energy.

Speaking about the project, Dixon announced that HOTLINE was created as both a label and a community, a space for artists to release music they genuinely believe in and a platform for sharing the sounds that inspire them.

That vision comes to life as HOTLINE arrives at 77. The event brings together Dixon and Menaged not only as DJs but as curators of a movement that extends beyond individual releases. Their sets are expected to showcase the musical philosophy behind the label: warm grooves, melodic storytelling, and a deep connection between artist and audience.

In an era where electronic music moves faster than ever, HOTLINE feels like a reminder that culture is still built through people, relationships, and shared experiences. Alan Dixon’s return to the booth at 77 alongside Max Menaged is therefore more than a gig, it’s the public debut of a new creative identity.

For fans of melodic house, disco-infused rhythms, and forward-thinking club music, HOTLINE is a project worth paying attention to. And if the energy behind "The Light" is any indication, this is only the beginning.

As the doors open and the music starts, one thing is clear: the line is live, and HOTLINE is officially open for business.
