Pachyman kicks off co-headline tour with MNDSGN

PACHYMAN KICKS OFF CO-HEADLINING NORTH AMERICAN TOUR WITH MNDSGN  IN SUPPORT OF NEW ALBUM ANOTHER PLACE PLAYING NYC ON OCTOBER 8 + TWO NIGHTS IN LA ON OCTOBER 31 & NOVEMBER 1

PRAISE FOR PACHYMAN & ANOTHER PLACE “A kaleidoscope of influences only Pachyman could put together in such a fluid package." Associated Press “Combines the heavy, reverb-drenched grooves of classic 1970s dub reggae with the big synthesizers and keyboard sounds of Krautrock.” GRAMMY.com “Refreshing…a deep meditation on the moment.” NPR’s Alt.Latino “Galactic dub reggae…a funky, blissed-out good time.” CREEM “Taken the dub sound system approach and tweaked it with elements of synth-pop and psychedelia.” WNYC “Building on his love of dub reggae by morphing it ever further into mind bending sonics.” KCRW “A futuristic fever dream filled with all the right vibes.” KEXP “Much like LA, the soundscape embraces its influences of traditional sounds from dub, synth-pop, and reggae while digesting it into new, innovative outputs.” Remezcla “Vital and sincere…a sonic sculptor whose loyalty to one genre does not limit him.” PopMatters “Retains a homespun feel while nonetheless expanding what the Pachyman sound might be.” Aquarium Drunkard “Bridges dub’s hypnotic roots with everything from post-punk to vaporwave." METAL “Has a unique knack for merging the echo-laden space boom of Jamaican dubplates with playful, contemporary melodies and grooves…It’s all designed to make bodies move, and it succeeds wildly.” Treble

Tomorrow, Pachyman — the musical project of Puerto Rican-born, Los Angeles-based dub reggae auteur Pachy Garcia — starts a 28-date North American co-headlining tour with Stones Throw artist MNDSGN. The tour kicks off on September 25 in San Diego and concludes with a pair of hometown dates at The Lodge Room in Los Angeles on October 31 and November 1. Find all tour dates below, and purchase tickets here. Listen to Pachyman and MNDSGN's dublab guest DJ set here. This tour is an extension of Pachyman's worldwide live dates in support of his new album Another Place, which was released this spring on ATO Records. Earlier this year, Pachy had a run of live shows in New Zealand and Australia, Europe and the UK, as well as a run of West Coast dates alongside Darkside. Another Place is Pachyman’s most daring project to-date, one that builds upon its forebears by leaning into the idiosyncratic elements lurking beneath previous projects. In doing so, it synthesizes the myriad scenes that have recontextualized the methods and aesthetics of dub — from pioneering synth-pop weirdos like William Onyeabor and Yellow Magic Orchestra to Basic Channel’s amniotic dub techno — into a sound that, while still anchored in dub reggae’s glorious walls of sound, is undeniably Pachyman’s own. Listen to Another Place here. The VHS-warped video for "In Love" introduced a new quartet lineup that will  be joining the upcoming tour dates: Pachy on drums and vocals, Javier Perez on guitar, Jordan Brooks on bass, and Diego Gaeta on keys. Watch the "In Love" video here. “Calor Ahora,” which he describes as "the backbone of the record" and the moment when he "achieved a new sound that I had never encountered in my music before.” The track is rippling, minimal dub that incorporates sparkling, alien synthesizers and a koan-like vocal. Watch the video for "Calor Ahora" — a goofy, direct-to-VHS-style send-up of LA noir mysteries — here. Lead single "Hard To Part" is a skeletal drone workout that doubles as "a funky dub reggae love letter to Los Angeles" (Remezcla). KCRW called it "funky-spooky-cool" and put it at #2 on their Top 30 chart, adding: "ESG fans, take note." Watch the video for “Hard To Part” here.   PACHYMAN x MNDSGN TOUR DATES Sept 25: San Diego, CA @ Soda Bar Sept 26: Phoenix, AZ @ Valley Bar Sept 27: Albuquerque, NM @ Sister Sept 29: Dallas, TX @ Deep Ellum Art Co.
