Dream dub vibrations… with Zakia

Zakia serves up some dubby, jazzy, dreamy selections, and is joined in the studio by Jamaican producer, vocalist and label founder Gavsborg.

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…

Zakia is joined in the studio by special guest Gavsborg for a bit of a chat and to share some musical recommendations. Sometimes known as Unkle G, Gavsborg is the founder of Equiknoxx Music - a label and collective creating ‘outernational Jamaican music’. Gavsborg brings with him a selection of tracks - some of his own, including an exclusive collaboration with Kenyan vocalist Rafiiki - and some discovered on his travels.

Elsewhere Zakia serves up some dubby, jazzy, dreamy selections - new music from the likes of Coby Sey, Lunch Money Life and Courtney Bailey, alongside some old favourites including Freddie McGregor, D*Note and the Michael Garrick Septet.
