GoldFish

Before changing the electronic music game in South Africa as GoldFish, Dominic Peters and David Poole were mild-mannered students by day – that blew the roof off house parties by night. Their trail-blazing live show, which mixed tireless house beats with multiple live instrumental performances, earned the attention of a swelling house and electronic music fan base. As their fame grew, so did their scope, scouring obscure sources for unique and cheeky samples that they twisted into endlessly fun hooks and choruses. Stirring African rhythms and sax melodies into the mix helped GoldFish evolve a truly unique house sound. After seven years basing themselves between Cape Town and Ibiza, Dom and Dave have settled in San Diego to concentrate on the burgeoning US market. A consistent string of chart-topping hits — and a live show that has seen countless festival appearances from Coachella to Glastonbury — has helped GoldFish become one of the most enduring and influential groups in live electronic music.

Lohrasp Kansara delves in Afro House and Afro Tech, building sets that move from cinematic melody to tribal percussion and read the room every step of the way. Born in Geneva, rooted in New York, he has spent the last decade turning residencies and festival stages into a personal map across more than 60 countries. His own weekly New York party has become a regular home for some of the genre’s heaviest names, and his catalog runs through homes like Pete Tong’s Places & Spaces, Insomniac’s In / Rotation, and MDLBeast.
