US-based house music mainstay OFFAIAH’s imprint steps into a new era, pairing cutting-edge production with a renewed focus on music that moves both body and soul.
House heavyweights OFFAIAH and Kyle Kinch join forces for the first time on ‘The Pressure’, a high-energy club weapon out now on ALL FIRE, alongside a lively refresh of the label’s branding.
Built for peak-time sets, ‘The Pressure’ delivers bottom-heavy frequencies, driving drums, and a bassline that hits deep. Tension builds around the classic, soul-stirring gospel vocals, made famous by Sounds Of Blackness, and OFFAIAH’s signature synth riff, captured in a single inspired take. The result is a late-night anthem that fuses underground grit with hands-in-the-air euphoria; a groove-driven record that moves both body and soul.
For OFFAIAH, the track captures his sweet spot. “It hits like a late-night warehouse rave where the bassline gets your chest thumping, but there’s this soaring gospel vocal pulling at your heartstrings,” he says. “It’s a battle cry wrapped in a groove, reminding you that when life turns up the heat, you’re not alone.”
On the flipside, Kyle Kinch brings his soulful disco roots into focus. “This sample’s been with me since childhood. It’s from my favourite film, First Kid. I’ve sung it all my life. When OFFAIAH jumped in, he turned it from a track into a spiritual experience.”
Their shared vision and Florida connection made collaboration inevitable. OFFAIAH adds: “We’ve hung out loads at each other’s shows and I’ve always loved Kyle’s raw groove. As soon as he sent over the idea, it blew up from there.”
‘The Pressure’ marks a defining moment for both artists. For OFFAIAH, it’s another step in his evolving sound, a fusion of classic house energy and underground bite. For Kyle Kinch, it continues his disco-inspired journey, bringing jazz, soul, and groove to the forefront.
The single has already garnered early tastemaker support from Tiësto on his revered Club Life podcast and tested across clubs from Tampa to London, the record has already been lighting up global dancefloors. Its release also signals a new era for ALL FIRE, OFFAIAH’s independent label, with a refreshed visual identity and renewed focus on high-impact, groove-first house music.
Running perfectly alongside this release is the launch of ALL FIRE Radio on 29th October, which will be syndicated through multi-award-winning audio production and distribution company Distorted, bringing OFFAIAH’s upfront house and tech house sound to a global audience each week. Expect the same club-focused energy that drives his sets, packed with fresh cuts and future favourites, designed to keep listeners locked in from start to finish.
The house and tech house alias of Michael Woods, OFFAIAH is a London-born, Argentinian-rooted DJ and producer with a catalogue spanning Defected, Toolroom and beyond. Known for club anthems like ‘Trouble’ and ‘Push Pull’, his sound blends deep basslines, rolling drums, and infectious grooves. As the founder of ALL FIRE, he champions creative independence with music built for dancefloors worldwide.
Groovy. It’s the only word that captures Kyle Kinch. Drawing from jazz and disco, he blurs the lines between house, disco, and techno with releases on Realm, Solotoko, Glasgow Underground, and EMI. His sound has moved crowds from Brooklyn Mirage to Printworks, earning him a spot as one of Dancing Astronaut’s ‘Artists to Watch’.
