Editor's note

Goldfish: Cape Town's house-jazz duo

An electronic act from South Africa that blends dance rhythms with live instrumentation.

For a good sense of their sound, try 'We Come Together' or 'In Too Deep'. They're both typical of that house-jazz blend they've been doing for years.

Goldfish matters because they've been making accessible, rhythm-driven electronic music for over two decades, and their sound has a specific Cape Town flavor. Their 2006 single 'Fort Knox' became a global hit that brought them wider attention beyond the underground clubs where they started. Tracks like 'We Come Together' and 'Get Busy Living' show how they mix house beats with jazz elements and African influences.

Dominic Peters and David Poole formed Goldfish in 1999, playing Cape Town's underground scene before releasing their debut album 'Caught in the Loop' in 2006. They've kept a steady output since, with albums like 'Perception' in 2008, 'Get Busy Living' in 2013, and 'Late Night People' in 2019. Their music has stayed in the same upbeat, dance-oriented lane throughout.

Archive material and source history

Goldfish is an electronic music duo from Cape Town, South Africa, formed in 1999 by Dominic Peters and David Poole. They started playing underground clubs and festivals, building a following before releasing their debut album 'Caught in the Loop' in 2006. That album's single 'Fort Knox' became a global hit that brought them wider attention.

Their music blends house rhythms with jazz elements and African influences, creating an upbeat sound that's carried through tracks like 'Get Busy Living' and 'We Come Together'. They've released several albums including 'Perception' in 2008, 'Get Busy Living' in 2013, and 'Late Night People' in 2019.

While their existing biography mentions some controversies and collaborations, what's clearer is their steady output of dance-oriented music that incorporates live instrumentation alongside electronic production. Songs like 'Colours & Lights' and 'One Million Views' continue in the same vein of accessible, rhythm-driven electronic music they've been making for years.
