As a teenager he went on to co-found the weekly hip-hop party Indie 5000 (along with DJ Max Glazer, artist Stephen “ESPO” Powers, and Ari Forman of On The Go Magazine). With Goias at the helm, Indie 5000 hosted weekly, celebrity, guest DJs including Cipha Sounds, Peanut Butter Wolf, PF Cuttin, Lord Finesse, DJ Premier, Kid Capri, DJ Soul, Lord Sear, and Prince Paul.

Goias, along with Max Glazer, Ari Saal Forman, and Fancy, garnered media attention with the creation of "The Bench" on the corner of Houston and Orchard Streets in New York City. The conceptual piece was an exercise in "creating something out of nothing meant to raise questions about what exactly it is that makes an event or place "cool" or "relevant." The goal was to prove that with the right combination of attendees, artwork, location, and viral propaganda, the artists involved would be able to make nothing at all, four friends sitting on a bench, the "coolest" party in New York City. The “event” was covered extensively by Gawker, Time Out New York, Gothamist, AdBusters, and The New York Observer. Goias and The Bench were featured on the cover of the Arts and Culture section of The New York Observer on August 7, 2007.
As a writer, Goias has written a monthly column called "Sexytime Explosion" in Mass Appeal Magazine and one called "The Gospel According to Matthew" in Missbehave Magazine . He has also contributed to Complex Magazine and YRB.
