South African dance duo GoldFish (Dominic Peters and David Poole) has signed with Good Direction Agency (GDA) for US live music and touring representation, with Brent Tactic as point agent.
The deal shifts the duo’s stateside booking business away from United Talent Agency, where Chase Caskey and Ben Hogan previously oversaw the account.
Outside the US, GoldFish stays with Music Mode Agency for Germany and Deepbloe Artist Agency for the Netherlands, while Kompass Music Group continues handling management worldwide.
GoldFish just released “Little Wonder,” the latest single from their 33 Degrees label era, and opened the New Orleans Jazz & Heritage Festival’s first night at Toulouse Theatre in April.
The duo is touring the US through July, blending DJ sets with live saxophone, flute and upright bass, the formula that carried them from a four-year Pacha Ibiza residency to Tomorrowland and Ultra Miami over two decades.
The signing follows GDA’s pickup of UK bass trio Gentlemens Club in February and Dutch drum & bass artist Buunshin earlier this month, extending the boutique agency’s run of culture-forward electronic signings in 2026.
Takeaways
This is a single-territory swap, not a full team shake-up: GoldFish’s European and management relationships stay intact, with only the US booking seat changing hands. That mirrors the exact playbook GDA just ran with Buunshin: pick off one market at a time instead of chasing a global takeover.
For a duo that’s spent two decades headlining festivals across six continents, choosing a boutique shop over a major agency for the lucrative US live circuit says something about where relationship-driven booking is heading in electronic music.
Stack GoldFish alongside Gentlemens Club and Buunshin, and GDA has landed three genre-defining signings in just a few months, a real signal in a touring market the majors have long dominated.
Can a boutique agency like GDA out-hustle the majors for major US festival slots with an act of GoldFish’s pedigree? Is GDA quietly becoming the go-to home for jazz-inflected, Afro-house crossover acts in the States?
