The April Fools…

Join Zakia for some birthday treats, indulging in all-time favourites from Pharaoh Sanders, Dionne Warwick, and Everything But The Girl, plus a Dreambience mix from Barbarelle.

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…

It’s Zakia’s birthday! Join her for a bit of indulgence on this special day, with some of her all-time favourites from Pharaoh Sanders, Dionne Warwick and Everything But The Girl, alongside some lovely new releases including Johanna Warren, Sheldon Agwu and Satomimagae.

There’s also a stack of sounds from Argentina this week, including the Buenos Aires artist, selector and sound explorer Barbarelle who is on Dreambience mix duties this week. She takes us on a voyage through her dreams, diving into the music that connects her with beauty.

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