How do I incorporate a Hotline Miami vibe into a campaign?

Let your players wear animal masks of their choosing and play the HM theme in the background.
Also,every time a player dies ingame you beat him to death with a blunt object.

Whats the system/genre?

If your players are onboard for unreliable narration, I'd suggest that. It'll go along way if you call roleplay hitmen too coked out to trust their own eyes.

Randomly send notes to the players as the voices on their answering machine?
Have the same NPC running every single late night diner, petrol station, etc etc.

Make it surreal as possible. Dead people being alive again next session. Party receives orders via innocuous messages, when they get there, the people are hostile and the players have to kill all of them. You'd have to railroad that pretty hard, though if a player decides to not follow the orders.
Bumping for interest, my players are in Miami and getting closer to an hotline-miami themed gang (think the fans except with more cyberware)

I don't see why. Just them off on a tangent adventure akin to Biker's search for the truth. You could even have it become weirder and more violent the further off the path they go.

just play this on repeat in the background:

I can see the game theme working with the following:
>WoD: Mortals / WoD: Slasher
>street level Shadowrun
>Violence RPG (yes, it's parody system, but it fits here)
>heavily refluffed Dark Heresy system
>very twisted game ofMaid RPG

I'm using a hack of Streets of Marienburg to do Shadowrun meself.
Violence RPG is actually pretty good at what it says it does if you disregard the weird dices.
It just occurred to me that a good system for a Hotline Miami RPG, assuming you're going for the first game and ignoring the second, isEveryone Is John. Each player controls Jacket as a different mask persona, Richard et al.

Add that dank music and focus on the colors of things while narrating.
How is the music genre from HM called?
