Multi-instrumental - Live Dance act - Producers Bookings: bookings@goldfishlive.com US / Worldwide | Ben Hogan | Circle Talent Agency South Africa | Raymond Bloom | Afterhours Management: Jay Rogovin | jay@kompassmg.com Catch us on tour: http://www.goldfishlive.com The secret is officially out. An electronic duo from the Southern-most tip of Africa have gone from one of Dance Music’s best kept secrets to an act tipped by industry tastemakers as the band to watch this year. Their genre-defying mix of live instruments, House beats and searing live performances has seen Goldfish go from impromtu jams at a tiny beach club in Cape Town to headlining Amsterdam’s Olympic Stadium, cracking a top 10 on the US iTunes Dance chart, a residency at Pacha Ibiza with David Guetta and DJ’s like Fedde le Grand knocking at their door to do remix their tracks. It’s almost hard to believe that not very long ago they were just Dom and Dave, two music students who lived a relatively chilled life of surfing and playing music in their home town Cape Town. All that really did change when they decided to record an album. Not having a record deal or much money, they simply locked themselves in a bedroom...with a double bass, a saxophone and a couple of synths, recording their debut Caught In The Loop on their own. A charming dance record that received massive support from the international dance music scene, desperate for something fresh and new. Pete Tong even called it his Ibiza Poolside Album of the Summer. The two guys quickly found themselves maintaining gruelling international tour schedule that saw them play sold-out shows from Amsterdam to Miami, from the Sydney Opera House to Sao Paulo, in-between still finding time to mix the covermount CD for DJ mag international, garnering a record-breaking 8 SAMA nominations, numerous number ones radio at home, as well as performances at Glastonbury, Sensation White, Ultra Festival Miami, 46664 and Get Loaded in the Park amongst others. They even got their hands on a residency to die for; Friday night at Ibiza super-club Pacha. Here they developed their sound further and presented it on their second album Perceptions of Pacha. As no other album, Perceptions Of Pacha captures the carefree vibe of the magical island of Ibiza, with their track Fort Knox cracking the Top 10 on the US iTunes Dance Charts. Following that up with the SAMA award-winning album Get Busy Living featuring the smash Youtube hit video We come together that garnered millions of online views for it’s hilarious and ground breaking animation work that has become a Goldfish trademark. With props coming from everyone from Dr Dre, Sebastian Ingrosso, Pete Tong, Sander Kleinenberg, Fedde Le Grand and Faithless, watch this space. The Re-invention of the DJ has arrived.

Hayden James - Something About You by Check out Goldfish's Organic House Mix: Goldfishlive – Goldfish-presents-organic-house-mix 1 - How do you go about making your track selection? We keep our ears and eyes open all the time for tracks the peak our interest and basically earmark them for inclusion in a mix. On top of that we are always creating unique edits and remixes to perform live and sometimes we include these in our mixes to give them a certain exclusivity that no one else could replicate. For instance this mix features the live festival mix of our track “Three second memory” which we have been opening our shows with during the Goldfish Organic House Tour around the world in the last few months (it’s not available to listen to anywhere else currently). 2 - Is a mix like this different from seeing you live in action on the stage? We have more freedom from a repertoire point of view with a mix like this than was we do live as fans come to show’s to hear the Goldfish songs that they know and love. The main difference is that our live show includes live instruments and an audience! Ultimately we would like these mixes to be more similar to our live shows but because we play largely only original music plus some exclusive remixes at our live shows the mixes would be too similar if we just posted these, however we do post live set’s from time to time so watch this space! 3 - Why are you excited to play Mysteryland USA? When the call came through for us to perform at Mysteryland USA we all did cartwheels around the studio as we have spent loads of time in The Netherlands and we always hear about how awesome Mysteryland is! On top of that hearing that the show is on the grounds of Woodstock ’69 is too epic for words. 4 - What do you think that you’ll bring to Mysteryland USA that sets you apart from other artists? Our live show includes Flute, Sax, Double bass, Keyboards and a bunch of electronic gizmo’s all played by Dom and myself live on stage, I don’t think anyone else uses this combination between only 2 people. Add to this us both being borderline hyperactive and you have a unique high energy live Deep/Melodic/Organic House set.
