Under the name Pachyman, Puerto Rican singer, songwriter, and multi-instrumentalist Pachy García crafts rugged, old-school dub, dancehall, and roots reggae in the tradition of pioneers like Scientist and Lee "Scratch" Perry. Based in Los Angeles, Pachyman issued a pair of independent records in 2019 and 2020 before signing with ATO Records, which released The Return of Pachyman the following year. Growing up in Puerto Rico, García's early musical interests revolved around hardcore punk but as his tastes evolved he became fascinated with the experimental sounds of dub and roots reggae innovators like Scientist, Augustus Pablo, and King Tubby. After relocating to Los Angeles, he became heavily involved in the city's Dub Club scene and began building an arsenal of vintage instruments and equipment. While serving as the drummer and singer for L.A. synth-punk outfit Prettiest Eyes, García also began recording his own dub experiments, writing songs that reflected his mashup of retro tastes and playing all the instruments himself. His first collection as Pachyman, In Dub, appeared in 2019 via indie imprint Permanent Records. A second album, recorded in a similar fashion, arrived a year later, this time on the small vinyl label Mock Records. Titled At 333 House, a reference to the name of his home studio, it saw Pachyman venturing further into roots reggae territory. With his audience growing, ATO Records offered García a contract and released his third Pachyman album, The Return of Pachyman, in 2021. + Supports TBA

Returning from a short hiatus, Cold Brewed are back for their next party at Rough Trade Nottingham, and yet again, they haven't held back. Klose One (Rinse FM / Heras / Sports Banger) London-based Ruairi Kennedy, aka Klose One (@kloseone), has been tagged as 'The DJ's favourite DJ'. With fans from across the musical spectrum, Klose One has remained sonically significant, spanning two decades of club culture and a Rinse FM residency that has lasted and transcended many scene shifts. His in-depth knowledge of music and acclaimed genre-bending DJ skills make him comfortable in any situation, from underground clubs to eclectic party sets, often spanning five to six hours. Klose One's accomplishments shine beyond being a DJ; he is a Label Manager at Heras Records, Music Director at Sports Banger, A&R Disorder, and WHP Records, and has a vast back catalogue of music, with some of it releasing on the likes on Swamp 81. Liz-zie (NRG Cru / Subtle / Balamii) Bolton-born and bred promoter and DJ Liz-zie (@cowielizzie) has cemented herself as a mainstay in both London and Manchester's booming music scenes. With UK garage being her bread and butter, her diverse selection across house, bass, footwork, and jungle and being a regular with Cicely's NRG Cru and on stations such as Subtle, Balamii and Crop Radio has made her a left her being nothing less than a crowd favourite. Jimmy Rocket (Loud Planet / Mimm) No stranger to Cold Brewed, DJ, party starter, rapper and MC Jimmy Rocket (@younastyson) is one of 0115's most versatile artists. Forever making waves with his Loud Planet Records affiliates, from tearing up raves and gigs alike across the city to throwing his own parties and even making movements during festival season at the WOH festival, hosting a Cold Brewed without him doesn't make sense. Coralie (Spitskool / MXC) Having released for the likes of Unknown to the Unknown, Voitax, and Flippen Disks, to name a few, Coralie's (@scooby\_coralie\_mxc) gritty and grimy take on unconventional bass and techno has left a lasting mark on the scene and is a testament to Nottingham's OG murky sound. In addition to this, Coralie runs a joint alias and shares a record label with Maroki titled MXC and Spitskool, respectively, showing his dedication to his craft and the scene and landing him regular DJ sets in mainland Europe and seeing some of the UK's most prominent DJs regularly play his tracks. M75 (Cold Brewed / Mimm / Voices) Originally from the gritty West Midlands, British Indian DJ and Cold Brewed head honcho M75 (@msevenfive) has set pace over the last eight years not only at parties in Nottingham but nationwide and now even abroad. His forward-thinking, constantly dynamic approach to DJing and love for anything with a bassline have seen him shut down raves on a regular. A mainstay in Nottingham's dance music scene, M75's devotion to music has seen him work his way up into the scene from a support DJ to actively supporting artists and building foundations within the community. Tickets from £5; buy early to avoid disappointment. Cold Brewed and Rough Trade Nottingham have a zero-tolerance policy for all forms of discrimination. We have always recognised ourselves as a safe space for new and existing members of our community from the trans+ community.

This summer, Mac Adams sets out on his headline tour in celebration of his second single Never Know. Blending indie-pop with the soulful textures of jazz and R&B, Mac brings a sound that’s as vibrant as it is vulnerable-music that invites you in and asks you to feel deeply. As an independent artist carving his own path, this tour is a landmark moment. Every stage will hold something personal: stories sung with warmth, connection built through honesty, and songs that explore identity, self-love, and the unpredictable beauty of growth. Joined by a live band and a growing community of listeners, Mac is creating more than just a gig-it’s a shared space, filled with colour, joy, and meaning. Come ready to listen, to feel, and to maybe even see a bit of yourself in the music. Presented by Rough Trade. This is an 18+ event
