Floating through the night… with Zakia

Dream Time

Available for 17 days

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 dimensions… Float through swirling selections with your Dream Time guide Zakia and her bag of musical treats. To mark St David’s Day, there’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. There’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 we’re transported to the Dreambience mix of the ethereal French composer and multi-instrumentalist Colleen, aka Cécile Schott. We’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 A Reduced Listening Production for BBC Radio 6 Music
