Pachyman + Christoph El Truento

<p>Following his hugely loved Aotearoa visit in early 2025, LA-based Puerto Rican dub powerhouse&nbsp;<strong>Pachyman</strong> returns this summer with his brilliant new album&nbsp;<em>Another Place</em> in tow.</p><p>Since we last saw him, Pachy has pushed his signature dub sound into stranger, darker and more exhilarating territory.&nbsp;<em>Another Place</em> is being hailed as his &ldquo;most daring project to date&rdquo;, blending deep, hypnotic reggae rhythms with post-punk attitude, lush layers, improvisation and moments of raw, vulnerable songwriting.</p><p>PopMatters put it perfectly:&nbsp;<strong>&ldquo;What Pachyman is doing is too fresh to ignore, crossing enough lines that even the most cynical reggae skeptic will find plenty to enjoy here.&rdquo;</strong></p><p>From the warm, meditative grooves of &ldquo;Calor Ahora&rdquo; to the Slits-inspired &ldquo;False Moves&rdquo;,&nbsp;<em>Another Place</em> finds Pachyman stretching the possibilities of dub without ever losing sight of what makes the music so irresistible &mdash; the bass, the rhythm, the repetition and the sheer physicality of it all.</p><p>Now he&rsquo;s bringing it back to Aotearoa for another run of summer shows.</p>
