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…

Elsewhere, plenty of Zakia’s new musical discoveries, including improvised meditative, healing sounds from California courtesy of Phi-Psonics, a beautiful jazz record recommended by a listener, and a forthcoming track from the visionary producer, Gavsborg, inspired by the “ancestral energies of the Mexican jungle under the moonlight”, and approved by his own mother…
