Goldfish | Live DJ Band

Dom Peters

Double Bass, Keyboards, Groove Box, Production.

Dom's music career began at age 6 when he made the Recorder First XI. His first actual electronic keyboard followed a few years later, and after a brief and regrettable "Roxette" phase, Dom discovered Jazz and never looked back, coupling a Bachelor's degree in Jazz Performance from UCT and a busy session musician schedule on piano, keyboards and double bass.

The beginnings of the idea of an electronic project began when he began programming tracks to take to band practice, frustrated that he couldn’t always verbalise what he was hearing inside his head to his band mates…and soon realized his passion for production.

Dave and Dom then hooked up on the concept of a live electronic duo on long trips to a regular Jazz gig. The name came about when Dave joked about Dom's legendary short term memory skills - able to remember vast amounts of irrelevant data, but clueless to where his car keys were. And thus began a match made in heaven. He is an obsessed surfer, a bit hey-shoo-wow, hates margarine and still has the alcohol tolerance of a mosquito.

David Poole

Tenor and Soprano Sax, Samplers, effects, mixing, Production, engineering. 

Daves musical journey began with a sadistic violin teacher at age 6. A bit later he was put in a room with wall-to-wall instruments and told pick one. It turned out to be a sax. Fast forward a few years and he did his first gig age 13 with his rock band (which eventually became Dorp). After school he went to study Jazz at UCT, this is where he met his long time studio partner Emagics Logic (Audio recording and sequencing software) .In the studio with Dorp he spent more time behind the desk than in front of it. 

All along James Brown and Jamiroquai had been infiltrating their way into his music in-between all the jazz and rock. This combined with his prolific Jazz band Breakfast Included eventually led to him and Dom joining forces in this Electronic/live Duo. With goldfish Dom and Dave get to explore the dark depths of electronic music production more extensively to create genre bending music. 

Influences include: Kruder and Dorfmeister, Jamiroquai, Dexter Gordon, John Coltrane, Joshua Redman, Moby, Winston Mankunku, Air, Rae and Christian, James brown.
