Envisioned in the style of early dancehall records Pachy Garcia took upon the task of recreating the sonic endeavors of Scientist, King Tubby, Lee InchScratchInch Perry and the great engineers and players of early Jamaican reggae music. Inspired by Channel One Studios and the Roots Radics band, the tone was set in a dancehall fashion with some detours into Rub-a-Dub and Rockers style playing. Recorded, written, produced, performed, and mixed by Pachy at his own 333 House in 2019.

In the spirit of classic Jamaican recordings of the late '70s and early '80s, Pachyman's sophomore record continues his ventures in dub and roots reggae. This time going further into the early Studio One sound, Sly & Robbie's steppers style and a bit of soul jazz reggae. Mixed using the techniques of Scientist and King Tubby, Pachy pays tribute to the sonic pallet of the dub masters themselves. Recorded in 2019 at his own 333 House studio.

Pachyman - InchAnother PlaceInch [Blue LP] Over four albums, Pachyman has proven himself a dedicated craftsman working in the lineage of dub reggae while mastering the methodology of masters like King Tubby and Scientist, using vintage gear, constructing glorious walls of sound, and developing an intuitive understanding of the power of repetition. With 'Another Place,' he synthesizes the myriad scenes that have recontextualized dub, from the synth-pop of William Onyeabor and Yellow Magic Orchestra to Basic Channel's amniotic dub techno. Available on blue color vinyl. Virgin Music Group; ATO Records; Reggae.
