Look to the stars… with Zakia

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…

To start 2026 on the right foot, Zakia looks to the stars for our very first Dream Time voyage of the year.

To find out what might be in store for us, the astrologer Madeleine Botet De Lacaze is on hand to provide us with an astrological forecast, giving us a heads up on upcoming planetary movements and their meanings. Zakia also shares musical selections inspired by the Zodiac and the planets, from Mort Garson, Cannonball Adderley and Mary Lou Williams, as well as cosmic sounds from the likes of Andy Hay, Ichiko Aoba and Stereolab.
