'Did I mention there are only two of them? Go see a live set, and then buy the disc at the show along with the bonus DVD. You will thank me.' - Blunt magazine
'We dig these guys!' FHM
'With Goldfish, you can clearly see they are brilliant. There is nothing like playing a classic instrument to prove you're a real artist, and people thrive off this element of their show. In fact, unless you are standing right up in the front row, you wouldn't be able to grasp the full complexity of what they are doing Goldfish are breaking traditional mindsets about this music genre' - Durbanscouts.co.za
'Their musical class shines through with elements of Nu-Jazz and traditional African Jazz mixing brilliantly with bluesy CafçȘazz ala St Germain. But they're no copycats. Goldfish has their own sound and it is wonderfully South African with the sophistication of Europe. BPM magazine

BPM Mag Review of Perceptions of Pacha
Good DJâs always start their sets by creating a mood; setting the tone that will definewhatâs to come. âSold my Soulâ, Goldfishâs opening track does just that as the subtly filtered beat meanders in and out for a few bars before dropping into the most gorgeous,effortless groove and you know youâre in for a groovylicious, ride that simply makes you want to cry with joy. Do I sound like Iâm gushing? Goldfish will do that to you. Theyâll make you want to hug the stranger dancing next to you and say, âman, Africa⊠I just love this place.â A good artist album is a cohesive body of work. The Goldfish groove sticks like superglue! From laidback to downright funked up, electro tinged boogie music, when the disc finishes youâre gonna want to press replay.
Best track: All of them â not one filler.
