A few weeks ago I took over Dom’s show on Colourful radio for 3 hours and in the final hour (11pm til midnight) I played a ‘lullaby selection’. I got a lot of e-mails and messages requesting it to download so here it is.
I’ve taken out some records that were doubles from previous podcasts and I’ve taken out a couple of records that might have shaken you up a bit if you were using this to ease you into sleep. So of course, I’ve also added one or two new things.
I hope you enjoy it. I’ve always had trouble sleeping and this is the sort of mix that would help me get in the right place to start snoozing happily with a smile. So I’ve also left a few minutes blank on the end to avoid any unwanted shocks from the next track on your playlist.
Enjoy.

For the third year we make September all about strings. I’ve always been moved by this sort of music, so we pay special attention at this time.
I couldn’t decide on one piece by Ennio Morricone so you ended up with two – I don’t think you’ll be sad about it. Gorgeous folk music from Iceland in the form of Ólöf Arnalds, who I was lucky enough to see this week – seek out her new album Innundir Skinni which also features a little appearance from label mate Bjork. One of my favourite tracks off Bonobo’s last album is here alongside a fair few Ninja Tune offerings. The classic Cinematic Orchestra/Roots Manuva track and something brand new from Ninja in the form of the much anticipated Floating Points Ensemble recording Post Suite.
We finish up with one of my favourite vocalists of all time Sarah Vaughan, stunning jazz vocals and strings.
I hope you enjoy. Back to normal next month.
