Shoegaze sounds… with Zakia

Available for 23 days

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. Join Zakia for a deep dive into the woozy world of shoegaze and dreampop, guided by the writer Simon Reynolds and his new book ‘Still in a Dream: Shoegaze, Slackers and the Reinvention of Rock, 1984–1994’. We’re taken on a swoony journey through the genre - filling our heads with the fog and losing ourselves in the blazing guitars of My Bloody Valentine, escaping into the ethereal magic of Cocteau Twins, and lucid dreaming with A. R. Kane. Elsewhere Zakia plays more hazy sounds, including new music from FAUZIA, Barreleye, Reverse Death and Discovery Zone, as well as some dreampop deep cuts including Manila’s Daydream Cycle, Madrid’s Paperhouse and Hanoi’s mối. 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 A Reduced Listening Production for BBC Radio 6 Music.
