Groove as ritual: the world of Menesix
On the dancefloor, Menesix doesn’t just build sets: he builds rituals. The groove becomes a tribal call, a pulse that unites strangers and pushes them beyond their limits, transforming the floor into a moving community. Genres or trends do not shape his philosophy, but by shared energy: an ancestral language everyone understands, even without words.
Each track is an offering, each choice an act of trust. First, he makes people feel at ease, then he takes them out of their comfort zone, where the unexpected turns into discovery. That is where Menesix finds his most profound connection with the crowd: in the moment when the groove is no longer just music, but a collective experience, liberation, ritual.
"I love making everybody feel comfortable with the right choice of music, and then letting them dance out of their comfort zone. When I reach that level, I know I can connect with and control any crowd."
It’s an approach rooted in his heritage: Brazilian by blood, Dutch by upbringing. Raised between the tropical richness of Latin rhythms and Amsterdam’s electronic culture, Menesix made groove his signature. Funky basslines, warm percussion, sharp kicks: every sonic choice is a declaration of identity that has carried him from intimate clubs to monumental stages.
"The most important thing is the groove, a groovy bassline, and sometimes a heavy kick helps to keep the balance. I try to feel the people, and when you listen to the beat of your heart, you always know what they want."
From the small Lovelee club in Amsterdam, where he grew as an artist, Menesix went on to deliver marathon sets in Dutch techno temples like Gashouder and AFAS Live, playing to thousands of people. Each stop has been another piece of a journey driven by the same guiding principle: pure energy and authentic connection.
What makes this trajectory unique is not only how fast he has risen on the scene, but also his ability to stay true to a simple, radical philosophy: groove above everything else. That is what gave birth to OVRDOSE, first as a personal platform and today as a label that welcomes new, bold, and independent voices.
"When choosing tracks, I always look at the energy of the sound, the creativity of the producer, and the strength of their vision. I started my label because I didn’t want to wait for people’s reactions or deal with label rejections. That’s why I also wanted to release music from others, to keep motivating them. If I feel that someone has truly put their heart and soul into their music, I can instantly hear whether it fits the label, because I’ve been through that same struggle myself."
OVRDOSE is not just a logo stamped on records, but a community bound by shared values. For Menesix, the dancefloor is never a neutral space: it is a social laboratory, a place where new ways of being together are tested. And that is the spirit he wants to preserve, even beyond music itself.
"I see OVRDOSE more as a community. Our mission has always been to grow like a family and build a connection that hasn’t been felt or seen before. The way we treat each other on the dancefloor is something special, and I’d love to see that energy continue throughout my life in this scene with our label."
It’s no surprise, then, that Menesix dreams of expanding this vision into fashion. For him, clothing is an extension of music: symbols of belonging, visible signs of an invisible community. Collaborations with brands like FOUR Amsterdam are only the beginning of a journey aimed at turning groove into a tangible identity.
"I’m always aiming for the next step, because I never stop growing and learning. Creating my own clothing brand has always been a big dream of mine, and right now I’m working hard on it. I want to inspire people not only through music but also through clothing, which brings a different kind of energy. For example, when you wear it, you feel part of the family."
His creative balance feeds on collaborations as much as on private moments. Menesix is an artist open to new projects and influences, but one who also knows how to step back, finding peace and stability among friends, family, and long walks on the beach with his dog.
"I always feel inspired by new collaborations and projects. Outside of that, I try to find peace and balance with the support of my family and friends, and by taking long, relaxing walks on the beach with my dog."
From Brazil to Amsterdam, from Ibiza to Marrakech, with stops in London and Switzerland, each international stage becomes a laboratory of energy. It is never about replicating formulas, but about staying true to the creative process, surrendering to the flow of music without the anxiety of results.
"It’s about feeling that deep connection with yourself, the moment you start making music. Don’t focus on creating one specific hit, just enjoy every step of the process. Time will show if you create something that resonates."
This is how his legacy is being built: not in the size of the crowds he draws, but in the quality of the impact his music leaves. Truly touching someone, imprinting yourself in their memories, lingering as a vibration in their mind and body: that is Menesix’s accurate measure of success.
"Always stay true to yourself and don’t compare yourself to others. At the end of the day, it’s all about you. It’s not about the number of people you attract, but about how you make them feel with your music. When you truly touch people, your music will live in their minds and souls forever, and that’s what keeps music alive."
That is what makes Menesix different: his ability to turn groove into a philosophy of life, a code that runs through stage, studio, label, fashion, and community. Every choice, every project, every dream revolves around a single vision: creating spaces where people can recognize themselves and set themselves free. Looking beyond, his message grows even deeper. His music is not just about what happens in one night, but about what remains the day after: the echo vibrating in memory, the sense of having shared something that goes beyond entertainment. For him, groove is a spiritual legacy, a mark written into bodies and souls, destined to survive even after the lights go out.
Every dancefloor becomes a microcosm, a social experiment, a space where people from different cultures find common ground. This is the heart of his philosophy: not simply to offer a show, but to create an experience that can change those who live it, even if just for one night. Because, as Menesix reminds us, it is not about numbers, but about the intensity with which you can touch those who listen.
The future may not be written yet, but one thing is sure: as long as there is a dancefloor to ignite, Menesix’s groove will continue to move bodies and minds, reminding us that music is, above all, an act of sharing.
