GOLDFISH
Before changing the Electronic Music game in South Africa as
GoldFish, Dominic Peters and David Poole were mild-mannered
students by day that blew the roof off house parties by night.
Their trail blazing live show, which mixed tireless house beats with
multiple live instrumental performances earned the attention of a
swelling house and electronic music fan base.
As their fame grew, so did their scope, scouring obscure sources for
unique and cheeky samples that they twisted into endlessly fun hooks
and choruses. Stirring African rhythms and Sax melodies into the mix
helped Goldfish evolve a truly unique house sound.
Their burnished grooves are rooted in pure pop pleasure, hooking even
the most cautious listener onto the dance floor (without next-day
regret).
After captivating dance floors from Ibiza to San Diego with their genre
defying live shows, GoldFish begins a new chapter with “Body Lan-
guage”, weaving their signature Afro House rhythms and organic in-
struments into a fresh, modern sound.
“South Africa has always been in our DNA,” says Dom and Dave of
GoldFish. “This track is about the unspoken communication that music
creates. South Africa may have 11 official languages, but Body Lan-
guage is the way we communicate best.”
This single marks the beginning of a brand new chapter for
GoldFish, teasing a broader Afro-inspired project and
simultaneously launching their record label 33 Degrees.
The label’s origins stem from having created their entire discography
based 33° South (Cape Town) and 33° North (San Diego).
It will see them explore deeper house textures and continue their
passion for showcasing new talent.
With forthcoming collaborations with top artists Zakes Bantwini, Zolani
Mahola as well as fresh talent, the storied book of GoldFish begins a
new chapter.
