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 Language”, weaving their signature Afro House rhythms and organic instruments into a fresh, modern sound.“South Africa has always been in our DNA,” says Dom and Dave ofGoldFish. “This track is about the unspoken communication that music creates. South Africa may have 11 official languages, but Body Language 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 label33 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.
