Here's one for your diaries... Pachyman is coming to Birmingham in February 2024????

Get ready for sun-kissed Puerto Rican sounds infused with roots dub reggae

Puerto Rico native Pachy García started playing guitar at a young

age but his developing interest for early Jamaican music made him

switch to piano & bass instead. It wasn't until he relocated to Los

Angeles that he began self teaching himself drums. Around that time

he formed the band Prettiest Eyes and started collecting inexpensive

recording equipment that he found at thrift stores and second hand

music shops.

After having enough gear to make his own recordings out of his

basement, Pachy began recording music to pay homage to the early

reggae pioneers he grew up listening to. He named the studio "333

House" and started learning techniques used by the engineers

responsible for shaping the sound of early dub reggae, particularly

Scientist and King Tubby. The recording process of the music was

documented on his Instagram account with videos that showed him

playing every instrument and ultimately mixing the end result in

one live dub take.
