Pachyman, the Los Angeles-based artist originally from Puerto Rico, has unveiled a new single titled Calor Ahora, offering a first glimpse into his upcoming album Another Place, due out on May 23 via ATO Records. The track signals a creative shift for the musician, marking a pivotal moment in his evolving sound.
Described by Pachy Garcia as the “backbone” of the record, Calor Ahora blends stripped-back dub with shimmering, otherworldly synth textures and meditative vocals. It captures a moment of artistic breakthrough, where Garcia tapped into a sonic palette he hadn’t previously explored, bringing depth and freshness to his signature style.
Rooted in a personal ritual of wintertime experimentation with classic reggae aesthetics, the song emerged from a particularly introspective period. Inspired by a journal entry written during an anxious episode in the cold season, Calor Ahora reflects a turning point — a shift from emotional tension to clarity, and a return to inner warmth.
