Cochemea Gastelum is a NYC-via-California saxophonist, composer, and Dap-Kings member of Yaqui and Mescalero Apache Indian ancestry. On September 26th, Cochemea released the wonderful album Vol III: Ancestros Futuros that serves as the third and final chapter in his epic quest to explore and express the spiritual connection between his art and his native roots.
In regards to the beautiful mix he put together for Midnight in a Perfect World, Cochemea says the three words that describe his mix are "Space, Energy, Memory" and also offered this beautiful insight: "These tracks carry a range of emotional depth for me — from ecstatic to mournful, meditative to joyful. Some are complex while others are simple, yet they all hold multiple worlds, evoking a deep feeling of histories and memory embedded within them."
