Pachyman — live event
<p><em>“If you're looking for good reggae-infused notes and sun-kissed percussion to be the sound of your summer — look no further.”<br></em><strong>- </strong><a href="http://NPR.ORG"><em>NPR.ORG</em></a></p><p><br></p><p>Ever since Puerto Rican music-maker <strong>Pachy García</strong> entered the arena as <strong>Pachyman</strong>, making a splash with his 2019 solo debut, the musical landscape has been a much sweeter place. García’s tireless dedication to creating the perfect dub-drenched dispatches has been practiced to perfection on his latest sonic transmission <strong><em>Switched-On</em></strong> on ATO Records<em>. </em>To celebrate, <strong>Banished Music </strong>and <strong>Strange News Touring</strong> are announcing the return of Pachyman this summer.<strong><em><br><br></em></strong>Following a scorching set at last year’s<strong> The Others Way Festival, </strong>Pachy is set to bring his Lover’s Rock and Studio One inspired sounds to <strong>Auckland </strong>and <strong>Wellington </strong>this February, before heading to <strong>Lyttelton’s Port Noise Festival</strong> and <strong>Hamilton Arts Festival</strong> in March.<br><br>The Korg Poly-800-flavoured tunes on <em>Switched-On</em> act as a kind of homage to the generative artistic era when musicians first began manipulating synthesizers to emit gloriously off-kilter bleeps, bloops, and whooshes. The album finds Pachyman expanding his palette to include synth beats that evoke the likes of Kraftwerk and Boards of Canada, while paying tribute to his time growing up in Puerto Rico.<br><br>With his newest masterclass branded “an instant dub classic” by Fader, there’s never been a tastier time for Pachyman to come on down to show us how it’s done.</p><p><em>“Pachyman is not to be slept on” </em><strong>- Aquarium Drunkard</strong></p><p><strong><br></strong></p>
