Our guest this week is Pachyman, an LA-based, Puerto Rican DJ and multi-instrumentalist producer.
On his RNZ Mixtape, Pachyman pays tribute to legends like King Tubby, Scientist, and Lee "Scratch" Perry, who have influenced his instrumental dub music with heavy basslines, echoing delays, and vintage production techniques.
Pachyman’s music has been described as sun-kissed and he’s here in New Zealand for the summer, celebrating his latest album Switched On with a series of shows:
27 February - Whammy Bar, Auckland
28 February - Meow, Wellington
1 March - Port Noise, Lyttelton
2 March - Hamilton Garden Arts Festival, Hamilton
If you want to support the recovery after the wildfires in LA you can buy the charity compilation on bandcamp. The compilation has 88 tunes for a good cause, and Pachyman’s song is ‘Playita’.
