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.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The deal shifts the duo’s stateside booking business away from United Talent Agency, where Chase Caskey<\/a> and Ben Hogan<\/a> previously oversaw the account. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

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.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

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. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

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.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The signing follows GDA’s pickup of UK bass trio Gentlemens Club<\/a> in February and Dutch drum & bass artist Buunshin<\/a> earlier this month, extending the boutique agency’s run of culture-forward electronic signings in 2026.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Takeaways<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

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.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

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. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

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.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

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?<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
