Artist
Chris Menis (aka Wattage / Vitalix / one half of Wingsuit) is a Perth-based DJ, producer, and APRA-registered composer with over two decades at the forefront of Australian electronic music.
Emerging from Perth's 1996 rave scene, he secured landmark residencies at GRAVITY Nightclub and RISE, where he performed alongside Ferry Corsten, Robert Miles, Paul Van Dyk, and CJ Bolland — before lighting up festivals like Southbound, Laneway, Two Tribes, and Fantasia.
His production catalogue spans UK imprints Notorious Vinyl, Next Generation Records, and Blatant Beats, with forthcoming 2026 releases. Whether Hardcore, Jungle, DnB, Trance, or Techno — Menis bridges underground heritage with precision-engineered dancefloor mastery.

Word
I've been chasing the same dream ever since I walked into Gravity and saw DJ Menis play some 95 style hardcore. He's such a talented DJ that it was impossible for anyone to walk out of the club that morning and not want to do the same thing one day. Its crazy to think I've had the same goal for 25 years and it actually feels like it's only just starting.
LondonSample Culture / Point Blank Music SchoolMenis is my neighbour. Just wanted to gloat about that. Still goes bananas in his studio keeping my kids awake at night.
NeighbourDJ Menis old skool bizness is still one of my all time fave mixes. Old Skool Biz Vol 2 really changed my taste in beats — I have since collected most of the tunes on vinyl. Suburban Bass, Mike Slammer, Red Alert!! Love the intro. It will always be legendary in my opinion.
Epic set from The One, The Only DJ Menis. Chris you never disappoint — such energy, talent and wisdom on the decks. Thanks for all the magic Gravity memories. Musik is always guaranteed to get me on my feet.
Just finished a round trip from Mandurah to Perth and back, listened to the mix twice in a row. Could not stop smiling the whole journey. Scalp tingling, body muscle memory rushes — that is as close as you could get to time traveling back in time. Superb.
Legend of the scene!!! Maybe not the godfather, but most certainly the god son.
Always love a Menis mix — and this one does not disappoint. Full of memories and what a selection of influential tunes. Big upz sir — respect!!
Absolute don behind the decks. His sets were often the highlight of the night — not just the ballsy mixing but the selection was always on point. So much respect for this guy.
Can't wait to wrap my ears around this. Always the nicest of people and a killer DJ to boot. Respect to Menis.
My favourite Perth DJ of all time.
Ripper set as always. Love your energy!
