For those fearing an EDM revamping, nothing could be further from the truth. The deep, dreamy remix is testament not only to Goldfish’s high-end production and composition skills, but also their close affinity to and understanding of the track. The hazy, heady, almost hallucinogenic spirit of Rodriguez’ ‘Sugar Man’ is still very much intact, in parts stripped down to a few lush piano chords, other times sweeping the listener up in a warm envelope of sound and emotion, Rodriguez’ haunting vocals guiding the single the entire time.</span></div> <div style="text-align: justify;"> </div> <div style="text-align: justify;"> <span style="background-color: white; font-family: inherit;"><b>Dave Poole</b> and <b>Dominic Peters</b>, who fly out to Rodriguez’ home country after their <b>sold out ADE Special</b> with <b>Bakermat</b> <span class="aBn" data-term="goog_276821947" style="border-bottom-color: rgb(204, 204, 204); border-bottom-style: dashed; border-bottom-width: 1px; position: relative; top: -2px; z-index: 0;" tabindex="0"><span class="aQJ" style="position: relative; top: 2px; z-index: -1;">this Friday</span></span>, (<a href="http://t.ymlp299.net/mebwyaxauwshhacaemyaoauuuhw/click.php" target="_blank">available to view live on www.be-at.tv</a>) spoke about why they decided to pay tribute to one of South Africa’s highest grossing artists.</span></div> <div style="text-align: justify;"> </div> <div style="text-align: justify;"> <span style="background-color: white; font-family: inherit;">“<i>Going over to America as South Africans, it made sense to highlight the biggest connection for us between the two countries</i>.” Poole said. “<i>For any South African, Rodriguez is as legendary as they come and we all grew up knowing his music. He’s an icon.</i>”</span></div> <div style="text-align: justify;"> </div> <div style="text-align: justify;"> <span style="background-color: white; font-family: inherit;">For decades, South African fans thought the folk singer had committed suicide. Wild rumours circulated varying from him shooting his brains out on stage, to setting himself on fire in front of a horrified audience. The truth, it turned out, was that the man ‘Cold Fact’ co-producer Mike Theodore deemed “better than Dylan” was working as a construction worker in Detroit. A curious and enigmatic figure, he had absolutely no idea of the impact or commercial success he’d enjoyed thousands of miles away on another continent.</span></div> <div style="text-align: justify;"> </div> <div style="text-align: justify;"> <span style="background-color: white; font-family: inherit;">“<i>It’s kind of crazy thinking about just how influential Rodriguez has been on generations of South Africans – including us</i>,” Peters said, “<i>and he never knew a thing about it. For us there was no better way to show our love and appreciation for a man that really was only about the music, than to put our twist on one of his greatest tracks. We hope people enjoy it and we hope that it introduces his music to a whole new audience in the process.</i>”<i> </i></span></div> <div> </div> <div> <span style="background-color: white; font-family: inherit;">For more information on Goldfish and to find out how to buy tickets to dates across the tour, visit  <a href="http://t.ymlp299.net/mebqsadauwshhaiaemyagauuuhw/click.php" target="_blank">www.GoldfishLive.com</a>.</span></div> <div> </div> <div> </div> <div> </div> <div align="center"> </div> <div align="center"> <span style="background-color: white; color: #f1c232; font-family: inherit;"><b>Goldfish Live US Tour Dates:</b></span></div> <div align="center"> </div> <div align="center"> <span style="background-color: white; font-family: inherit;">October 18^th – Mezzanine <b>SAN FRANCISCO</b></span></div> <div align="center"> <span style="background-color: white; font-family: inherit;">October 19^th – El Ray <b>LOS ANGELES</b></span></div> <div align="center"> <span style="background-color: white; font-family: inherit;"><b>NEW**</b> October 21^st – Brooklyn Bowl <b>LAS VEGAS</b></span></div> <div align="center"> <span style="background-color: white; font-family: inherit;"><b>NEW**</b> October 22^nd – Belly Up <b>ASPEN</b></span></div> <div align="center"> <span style="background-color: white; font-family: inherit;">October 23^rd – The Blue Bird <b>DENVER</b></span></div> <div align="center"> <span style="background-color: white; font-family: inherit;">October 25^th – Empire Control Room and Garage <b>AUSTIN</b></span></div> <div align="center"> <span style="background-color: white; font-family: inherit;">October 26^th – U Street Music Hall <b>WASHINGTON DC</b></span></div> <div align="center"> <span style="background-color: white; font-family: inherit;">October 28^th – Bardot <b>MIAMI</b></span></div> <div align="center"> <span style="background-color: white; font-family: inherit;">October 30^th – SoundGarden Hall <b>PHILADELPHIA</b></span></div> <div align="center"> <span style="background-color: white; font-family: inherit;">October 31^st – The Sinclair <b>BOSTON</b></span></div> <div align="center"> <span style="background-color: white; font-family: inherit;">November 1^st – Brooklyn Bowl <b>BROOKLYN (SOLD OUT!)</b></span></div> <span style="background-color: white; font-family: inherit;"><b>NEW**</b> November 2^nd – Lincoln Hall <b>CHICAGO</b></span></div> <span style="background-color: white; font-family: inherit;"> <div align="center"> </div> <div align="center"> <br /></div> </span></div> <div style="text-align: center;"> </div> <div style="text-align: center;"> <span style="background-color: white; color: black; font-family: inherit;"><a href="http://t.ymlp299.net/mebquarauwshhataemyalauuuhw/click.php" target="_blank">Goldfishlive.com</a> </span></div> <div style="text-align: center;"> <span style="background-color: white; color: black; font-family: inherit;"><a href="http://t.ymlp299.net/mebqeacauwshhafaemyaiauuuhw/click.php" target="_blank">facebook.com/goldfishlive</a> </span></div> <div style="text-align: center;"> <span style="background-color: white; color: black; font-family: inherit;"><a href="http://t.ymlp299.net/mebqmalauwshhagaemyazauuuhw/click.php" target="_blank">twitter.com/goldfishlive</a> </span></div> <div style="text-align: center;"> <span style="background-color: white; color: black; font-family: inherit;"><a href="http://t.ymlp299.net/mebqjakauwshhapaemyarauuuhw/click.php" target="_blank">soundcloud.com/goldfishlive</a> </span></div> <div style="text-align: center;"> <span style="background-color: white; color: black; font-family: inherit;"><a href="http://t.ymlp299.net/mebqbatauwshhaxaemyarauuuhw/click.php" target="_blank">instagram.com/goldfishlive</a> </span></div> <div style="text-align: center;"> <span style="background-color: white; color: black; font-family: inherit;"><a href="http://t.ymlp299.net/mebqhaoauwshhakaemyazauuuhw/click.php" target="_blank">youtube.com/goldfishlive</a></span><br /> <br /></div> </div> </div> <iframe frameborder="no" height="450" scrolling="no" src="https://w.soundcloud.com/player/?url=https%3A//api.soundcloud.com/tracks/172297698&auto_play=false&hide_related=false&show_comments=true&show_user=true&show_reposts=false&visual=true" width="100%"></iframe></div>
