Floating through the nightā€¦ with Zakia

Zakia guides us through two hours of swirling dreamy selections with a few Welsh picks as a nod to St Davidā€™s Day, plus a Dreambience mix from French composer Colleen.

DJ, broadcaster, writer and dreamer Zakia Sewell provides the soundtrack to your dreams - playing music to ease the mind, soothe the soul, and open portals to new dimensionsā€¦

Float through swirling selections with your Dream Time guide Zakia and her bag of musical treats. To mark St Davidā€™s Day, thereā€™ll be a few Welsh picks including Queen of the harp Nansi Richards, 70s folk fourpiece Y Gwenwyn, hypnotic bassist Huw Marc Bennett and otherworldly ambience from Aisha Vaughan. Thereā€™s also plenty of new releases including from ZENA, Alabaster DePlume, Ms Ray, From 2 and Marisa Anderson, plus some timeless classics including from the likes of Larry Heard.

Plus weā€™re transported to the Dreambience mix of the ethereal French composer and multi-instrumentalist Colleen, aka CĆ©cile Schott. Weā€™ll hear about her new album Libres antes del final, her dreams and the music that makes her dance horizontally, before we dive into her spacious and mysterious Dreambience mix.

We want to hear your dreams! Send in tales of your sleepy adventures to dreamtime@bbc.co.uk or text us on 03700 100 600
