.. It’s hard to imagine that one of the most exciting live electronica acts in the world right now comes from a small city on the southern-most tip of Africa. But the success story behind Cape Towns’ electronica phenomenon Goldfish, has been nothing short of extraordinary. Two Jazz musos hook up while studying music at varsity, and form a live electronic duo. They record an album themselves with little more than a double bass, a saxophone and a couple of synths. This self-released ‘underground’ album, Caught in the loop, goes on to propel them into the stratosphere, with a cult-like following and numerous 1s in their home country...

They take their incendiary multiple-instrument live act across the globe, with sold-out shows from Ibiza to Tokyo, from Dubai to Cannes. They open for electronica giants Fatboy Slim, Mr Scruff, The Audio Bullys, Paul van Dyk, Pete Tong and Stereo MC’s. They are hailed as the Re-invention of the DJ, and voted best live act in South Africa. VThis is Dominic Peters and David Poole, the unassuming surfer/jazz muso/electronic maniacs that are Goldfish. You couldn’t find two guys more passionate about music, and if you’ve seen their live show, you will agree that ‘Re-invention of the DJ’ is about as close as you can get to describing what they do. Combining live instruments like Double bass, Saxophones, Keyboards, Flute, and Vocals with Samplers, Effects, Synths and a healthy dollop of freeform improvisation, Goldfish have hit a nerve on dance floors across the world. Known fondly just as the ‘Fishies’ to their legions of loyal fans, it was always a matter of not ‘if’ but ‘when’ for this duo. Suddenly Goldfish have found themselves on the brink of a rollercoaster ride that will launch them full throttle into the international spot light. After extensive negotiations Goldfish’s second album has been signed to Pacha, one of the worlds’ biggest club and lifestyle brands, a massive achievement and further confirmation of the duo’s destiny to take the world by storm. The new album Perceptions of Pacha, released at Miami’s Winter Music Conference March 2008, features 10 brand-new Goldfish tracks and the international release includes a second disc featuring a live Goldfish performance video and remixes by top DJs from around the world. With tours of the US, Europe, and a 4 month Friday night summer residency at super-club Pacha Ibiza inked for 2008, the future is looking golden…

“One of the first acts to truly jump the great divide between dance and live excitement” - 24.com “Make no mistake, these boys are gonna to be BIG! The two multi-instrumentalists captivate the crowd, and have the UK contingent scratching their heads and saying to each other ‘we’ve got to get these boys over to Europe…’ Essential.” - TrusttheDJ.com “GOLDFISH ... store that name in your memory for longer than 3 seconds, cause these guys are going places.” - Thunda.com “This album shows that heavy jazz cats can make music that is accessible and bursting with groove” - MIO.co.za “Did I mention there are only two of them? Go see a live set, and then buy the disc at the show along with the bonus DVD. You will thank me.” - Blunt magazine “We dig these guys!” FHM “With Goldfish, you can clearly see they are brilliant. There is nothing like playing a classic instrument to prove you’re a real artist, and people thrive off this element of their show. In fact, unless you are standing right up in the front row, you wouldn't be able to grasp the full complexity of what they are doing…Goldfish are breaking traditional mindsets about this music genre” - Durbanscouts.co.za ‘Their musical class shines through with elements of Nu-Jazz and traditional African Jazz mixing brilliantly with bluesy Café jazz ala St Germain. But they’re no copycats. Goldfish has their own sound and it is wonderfully South African with the sophistication of Europe.” – BPM magazine "GOLDFISH are without doubt the most exciting live band in the country at the moment. Their unique blend of deep house grooves, live instruments and hypnotic vocal samples have made them the must-see band of the year."
