Drift away… with Zakia

Drift away into distant musical realms with Zakia and some otherworldly selections to soundtrack your dreams. Plus, a Dreambience mix from Tomo Katsurada and Jonny Nash.

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.

Drift away into distant musical realms with Zakia and some otherworldly selections to soundtrack your dreams. Expect Thai psychedelia from Khun Narin, Welsh fuzz from Tai Haf Heb Drigolyn, sounds from the seaside towns of Japan courtesy of Maya Ongaku and bike-riding tales from Berlin-based Jamaican producer Unkle G. There’s a huge stack of new releases this week, including Copenhagen’s Sofie Birch, Rotterdam’s The Hobknobs, Leeds’ Ancient Infinity Orchestra and Rio de Janeiro’s Negro Leo.

Plus, Zakia hands over the Dreambience mix duties to Netherlands-based duo Tomo Katsurada and Jonny Nash. Their first record as a duo, At The Emerald Pool, came out earlier this week and showcases their fingerpicking guitar sounds alongside ethereal vocals. Their Dreambience mix is a selection of music that they listen to in late hours that’s inspired and influenced them, woven together for you to lose yourself in.

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