Daptone Presents: Tomorrow's Hits Today

In an effort to continue delivering the very best in today's Soul music during these uncertain times, we introduce our limited digital music series: Tomorrow's Hits Today! The series will offer a first-class sneak peak into all of the incredible music we have on deck for 2020, and beyond! Every Friday, we will drop one track from an upcoming album or single featuring new music from familiar family favorites as well as debuts from rising stars in the Daptone/Dunham/Penrose galaxy. As a global community we still have many challenges to overcome, but our hope is that this series may provide some small respite till we can all drop the needle on the other side of this mess. 

 Follow the playlist where we will be adding all the singles as they are released 

Cochemea
"Chito's Song"

It is our distinct pleasure to present "Chito's Song", the latest single from Daptone's Electro-Sax Space warrior, Cochemea Gastelum. Expanding on the themes explored on his debut album "All My Relations" - a reference to the cosmic, spiritual, and familial connections we share within nature and amongst our fellow man - the song is a tribute to his Uncle, a free spirit who nourished Cochemea's love and appreciation for their kindred music, proving a roadmap for his own musical and ancestral journey: an exploration into the bonds we have with our past, present, and future.  The hypnotic, percussive groove grabs you from the start, giving Cheme a solid foundation to lay down a silky, soulful melody with his electrified, wah-wah-kissed Alto Saxophone. A touching homage to an extraordinarily, influential spirit.
