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.
Keep it compact: a lyric you come back to, a live memory, or the part of the catalog you would point someone toward first.
