Good DJ’s always start their sets by creating a mood; setting the tone that will define
what’s to come. ‘Sold my Soul’, Goldfish’s opening track does just that as the subtly
filtered beat meanders in and out for a few bars before dropping into the most gorgeous,
effortless groove and you know you’re in for a groovylicious, ride that simply makes you
want to cry with joy. Do I sound like I’m gushing? Goldfish will do that to you. They’ll
make you want to hug the stranger dancing next to you and say, “man, Africa… I just
love this place.” A good artist album is a cohesive body of work. The Goldfish groove
sticks like superglue! From laidback to downright funked up, electro tinged boogie
music, when the disc finishes you’re gonna want to press replay.
Best track: All of them – not one filler.
“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
“…these two freeform improvisation geniuses from South Africa are a real find. Using classic instruments to bring dance music to life, Dominic Peters and David Poole really are the sh**t.
It’s no wonder that Pacha have signed them up for a residency in Ibiza this summer.
Check out their forth coming album Perceptions of Pacha and prepare to be amazed! We Love ‘em!”

“…Goldfish are the next Basement Jaxx, I really feel that” - Pacha MD Danny Whittle
“….It’s Goldfish who really bake the biscuits. 100% their own material, these South African Funksters really are as good as we have hyped them to be. Jazzy, groovy and loaded with live instrumentation, it’s one helluva party with more horns, guitars and double bass than a second hand instrument shop. Think Kraak and Smaak making sweet sonic love with Derick Carter and you get the picture…” - IDJ
“GOLDFISH ... store that name in your memory for longer than 3 seconds, cause these guys are going places.” - Thunda.com
“That was fantastic!” - Pete Tong
From a technical point of view what Goldfish does is blinding…and the fact that they have combined this with catchy hooks and licks makes it doubly so. A brilliant night out! - thechiz.co.za
The duo are the closest thing celebrity-dry South African music culture has to offer the globe in terms of recognisable, press-heavy popular icons. No. The duo are full-blown popular icons, and whether you’re a sideline fan, appreciative musician or a crazed groupie, you’ll find a way to give the Fish props. Overtone.co.za
“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
