If you only do one thing in Ibiza, you have to see Goldfish at Pacha! Pacha seem to be dominating this season with the slew of top notch artists and event nights lining the roster each week, and taking more than a little after-sun glow from some of the supersized and industrialised clubbing abodes. Or so the whispering winds tell me; Viva the house revolution!
Goldfish are two classically trained muso’s from Cape Town, South Africa holding down a weekly Wednesday residency on the terrace. Their solid live act sees them mixing their own tracks live and rocking the bones off proper instrumentals at the same time! Yep, while they’re DJing they literally haul out a cello, a saxophone and a flute - well, at least I think it’s a flute - and take turns to serenade the audience over a really afro-grooved house set. Take a moment to hear it and feel that breeze my friends...
It’s actually the second season the Goldfish boys are running the gamut at Pacha’s White Isle HQ. Last year they were signed to Pacha Records and their album ‘Perceptions of Pacha’ was hailed as a sort of Cafe Del Mar meets Groove Armada soiree; in other words, it’s pretty nice! Already this summer they’ve taken the stage at Glastonbury, Sensation in Amsterdam and Gatecrasher in Birmingham with Australia’s sun-goddess of house, Sarah Main and doused sold-out audiences with their sound.
I’ve seen them live several times and it’s truly a performance to be witnessed. They’re also really cool guys; I think one of them bought me a drink once, although it might have just been water. Anyway, DJ Mag also wanted a piece of the Fish and featured the boys and a special DJ Mag mix in the August edition - it’s bound to go gold so get involved!

FYI- Goldfish hit London Town several times over the next few months, but next up is Pacha on August 8th, so get you flippers and your favourite faces together - I hope to catch you in the mix!
