Pachyman & MNDSGN
ALL AGESSTANDING ROOM ONLY PACHYMAN Over the course of four albums under his Pachyman moniker, Pachy Garcia has proven himself a dedicated craftsman working in the lineage of dub reggae. In a way, the Puerto Rico-born, Los Angeles-based musician had mastered the methodology of genre masters like King Tubby and The Scientist, using vintage gear, constructing glorious walls of sound, and developing an intuitive understanding of the power of repetition. As the cult around his music grew, Pachy began to seek new motivation. “I was thinking, How do I feel and how do I evolve with this project? How do I inject excitement and spontaneity in this process? I needed to break out of this formalist dub reggae purist mindset to find a more personal sound, create my own niche.” If his past work, while indelibly Pachy’s own, was indebted to the masters of dub reggae, Another Place — his fifth album for ATO Records recorded, as ever, in his basement studio 333 House — is the moment when all of those debts are paid off. He leans into the idiosyncratic elements of past projects, synthesizing the myriad scenes that have recontextualized the methods and aesthetics of dub, from pioneering synth-pop weirdos like William Onyeabor and Yellow Magic Orchestra to Basic Channel’s amniotic dub techno. “I was trying to understand who I am as a musician — not just operating in a distinct lineage but how I’ve metabolized and expanded upon it,” Pachy elaborates. “Who am I behind all of this? It’s a very personal, vulnerable journey. I wanted to build my own world and create these new connections in my brain, incorporating everything: vaporwave, chillwave, soul-jazz, James Brown, Kosmiche musik and krautrock, the driving repetition of drum n bass.” MNDSGN Mndsgn, aka Ringgo Ancheta, was born in San Diego, raised in the southern region of New Jersey, and is currently based in Los Angeles. The youngest in a family of Filipino descent, Ringgo grew up in a household where the love and appreciation for music was always synonymous. Ringgo has aimed to explore the human condition in his music. Taken as a whole, his body of work chronicles the evolution of self, asking throughout: how can we live in a way that is true to ourselves? How can we find beauty in the everyday and unfamiliar?
COLETTE (Candy Talk) and Friends
AGES 18+ STANDING ROOM ONLY CLICK HERE TO PURCHASE TICKETS! **COLETTE (CANDY TALK, APT)** Chicago native and Los Angeles resident Colette has a unique career trajectory and influence as an international DJ, singer, songwriter, and landmark figure of American dance music. A founding member of the pioneering DJ collective, Superjane — along with DJ Heather, Lady D, and Dayhota — Colette has been an integral part of the Midwestern underground since 1994. From her first mixtape in 1998 “Floating By” to her 2022 production commencement of her fifth studio album with production by Philadelphia’s deep beat guru, Pete Moss she has blazed her own distinctive trail through electronic music. Crafting events first as a promoter in Chicago — ones that would see most of Chicago’s 2nd generation of house music artists and DJs graduate to global scales — her Material events at the storied Club Shelter in the West Loop neighborhood were seminal in the development of the 90’s house sound of Chicago’s Northside. Charting her first Billboard No. 1 Dance Club Play Single with “What Will She Do for Love”, the debut long-play effort from Colette became the most downloaded dance album on Apple’s iTunes in June 2005, with the title track, “Feelin’ Hypnotized”, being licensed to the soundtrack of the movie, “The Devil Wears Prada”. Not her last silver screen placement, her track “I Like The Way” produced in 2004 with OM Records label partner, Kaskade, would be featured in 2008’s “Sex and the City” movie soundtrack. In 2016, LA Weekly named Colette one of “The 20 Best DJs in LA Right Now”, and 2017 saw the release of her fourth studio album, ‘Retrospective’, and the second on her own label. This 2-part album features a collection of remixed works spanning her entire career, featuring production from artists such as Gettoblaster, Derrick Carter, Demarkus Lewis, Local Options, Change Request, and many more. 2020 saw the return collaboration with her OM labelmate, Kaskade, on their single “When I’m With You”, which has been streamed over 5 millions times. 2022 saw Colette starting work on her fifth studio album, releasing a new EP “Message in a Bottle” alongside launching her “Future Deep” tour with Pete Moss, playing select Second City Sessions shows with DJ Heather while performing solo shows for fans worldwide. In 2024 we’ll see more new releases and a studio album set for release!
