Pachyman

Over the course of four albums under his Pachyman moniker, Pachy Garcia has proven
himself a dedicated craftsman working in the lineage of dub reggae. In a way, the Puerto
Rico-born, Los Angeles-based musician had mastered the methodology of genre masters like
King Tubby and The Scientist, using vintage gear, constructing glorious walls of sound, and
developing an intuitive understanding of the power of repetition.
As the cult around his music grew, Pachy began to seek new motivation.
“I was thinking, How do I feel and how do I evolve with this project? How do I inject excitement
and spontaneity in this process? I needed to break out of this formalist dub reggae purist
mindset to find a more personal sound, create my own niche.”
