Pachyman and MNDSGN

On October 31, 2025, the Lodge Room in Highland Park hosts a special double bill featuring Pachyman and Mndsgn, two artists at the cutting edge of experimental groove-driven music.

Puerto Rican multi-instrumentalist Pachyman has carved out a niche by reimagining vintage reggae and dub traditions with a modern sensibility. Known for albums like The Return of Pachyman and Switched-On, his performances evoke the deep studio vibes of classic 1970s Jamaican dub while pushing the sound into contemporary directions.

Sharing the stage is Mndsgn (Ringgo Ancheta), a Los Angeles–based producer and vocalist signed to Stones Throw Records. With albums such as Body Wash and Rare Pleasure, Mndsgn merges hip-hop, soul, and electronic textures into warm, hypnotic soundscapes. His live shows bring improvisation and cosmic energy to the underground beat scene.

Together, Pachyman and Mndsgn promise an eclectic, immersive Halloween night of rhythm and experimentation inside one of Los Angeles’s most beloved neighborhood venues.
