Listen to OFFAIAH at 8pm UK on the last Thursday of the month, on We Get Lifted Radio.
OFFAIAH is the house and tech house alias of Michael Woods—a London-born, Argentinian-rooted DJ and producer whose career is built on musical depth, versatility, and a relentless drive for groove. Raised in East London by a piano-teaching father, Michael’s early mastery of piano, trumpet, guitar, and drums set the stage for a journey that’s taken him from classical training to the heart of global dance music.
OFFAIAH broke through in 2016 with “Trouble,” earning BBC Radio 1’s “Future Dance Anthem” and support from icons like Annie Mac, Pete Tong, David Guetta, and Martin Garrix. Since then, his catalog has delivered club and festival staples—“Push Pull,” “When I Push,” “Find A Way”—and chart-topping releases on Defected and Toolroom. His productions are known for deep basslines, rolling drums, and infectious, dancefloor-driven energy.
As founder of the All Fire label, OFFAIAH champions creative independence and curates music that stays true to his groove-first ethos. With appearances at Creamfields, Tomorrowland, Ushuaïa Ibiza, The Brooklyn Mirage, and more, he’s earned a reputation as a dynamic performer and a trusted tastemaker in the global house community.
Now, as he approaches a decade of OFFAIAH, Michael is leveling up—expanding his team, evolving his sound, and setting the stage for new collaborations and brand projects. Driven by passion, craft, and a commitment to the dancefloor, OFFAIAH continues to shape the future of house music—one groove at a time.
