OFFAIAH set to soundtrack the new year in Koh Samui

OFFAIAH is set to infuse the night with his infectious energy at Chi Samui Beach Club for the Defected Worldwide NY'23/24 event, setting the stage for an electrifying welcome to 2024.

As the clock ticks down to midnight, attendees can expect a sensory onslaught against the backdrop of the club's minimalistic yet modern architecture, panoramic ocean views, and the sultry tropical breeze — and maybe even take a peek (or more) at Koh Samui's first-ever cannabis menu.

Renowned for crafting edgy mixes and seamlessly blending beats, OFFAIAH’s latest sonic offering of 2023 came via DFTD in the form of the tech house banger ‘Tempo’, which features the fierce vocals of Canada’s Dope Earth Alien. The track’s gritty rap vocals, chugging basslines, and hypnotic synthplay deliver an unmissable club-ready experience for die-hard followers of the genre.

OFFAIAH himself has graced the decks of renowned electronic music festivals such as Creamfields and Parklife. He's left his mark on iconic venues like Echostage in Washington DC and Ushuaïa in Ibiza. With a killer knack for connecting with crowds, he feeds off their raw energy, constructing meticulously crafted mixes that command the dancefloor, loaded with anthems, pulsating beats, and formidable productions.
