The future looks bright for David Poole and Dominic Peters as they launch their second album through Pacha
 

South African electronica band Goldfish is set to take the world by storm after signing a record deal and a three month residency contract with Pacha, one of the world’s biggest club and lifestyle brands.

Pacha Recordings launched a worldwide release of the bands second album Perceptions of Pacha last month, thus amplifying the bands sound on the international dance-music stage.

In addition, Goldfish will perform at Pacha Ibiza, the record label's flagship nightclub in Spain, every Friday night for a three month summer residency between June and September. Goldfish will play alongside other dance music favourites such as Faithless and Basement Jaxx.

Goldfish is made up of Dominic Peters and David Poole who describe themselves as unassuming surfers/jazz musos.

"This is an incredible dream come true for us," Peters told iAfrica.com.

"We have put in a lot of work over the last three years and taken a lot of chances. To have it pay off like this is incredible and we are excited, grateful and nervous all at the same time!"

The bands self-released first album Caught in the Loop was considered a re-invention of the DJ as they combined live instruments such as the double bass, saxophone and flute with electronic synths, samplers and effects.

Goldfish has since earned itself a strong following in South Africa and abroad. The band's international tours include appearences in the US, UK, Ibiza, Dubai, France, Japan, Namibia, Malawi, and the Seychelles.

Local fans can catch a glimpse of Goldfish before the duo heads off to Spain. Peters and Poole have just embarked on a national tour that will see them perform in Cape Town, Johannesburg, Bloemfontein and other South African towns.

Perceptions of Pasa is available through all major CD outlets.
