Pachyman, the dub project of LA-based multi-instrumentalist Pachy García, releases his ATO Records debut The Return of Pachyman. Pachyman, who won this year’s Latin Alternative Music Conference Discovery Award, is a one-man band – García plays and records all of the instruments on the record himself, and his songs take influence from the old-school Caribbean reggae sound he fell in love with growing up in San Juan, Puerto Rico.

“With this project, I was looking to make positive music and radiate good energy; something to kinda disconnect from the negative things that were happening at the moment,” says García. “I am trying to make this project a service for humanity in the sense that I just wanted to shine a positive light.”
