Tony Dixon (1958–25 November 2010) was an Irish disc jockey, blogger and a member of the "Northside mafia". He specialised in the hip hop and R&B genres.
Dixon grew up in Pinewood, Dublin's Northside.[1][2] He was associated with Ian Dempsey, Tony Fenton and Gerry Ryan.[1][2] He was part of the "Big D" station during the 1970s and Sunshine Radio during the 1980s.[2] Then he managed a nightclub called "Hollywood Nights" which occurred at the Stillorgan Park Hotel.[2]
In February 2000 Dixon became part of FM104, presenting a show on Saturday nights and possessing his own catchphrase, "If it's Hip Hop and RnB, don't miss me, Tony D".[1][2] While at FM104 he brought artists such as Mary J. Blige, Puff Daddy and Destiny's Child to the attention of the Dublin public.[1] Blues & Soul magazine named him as one of the UK's Top 5 DJs.[1] He blogged regularly.[1]
