Old school. Pre-credit crunch. UK music. Grime, garage, pirate radio — and the culture that shaped a generation.
Weekly essays on UK music, memory, and the culture that formed us. First piece dropping soon.
One article. Straight to your inbox. No algorithm between you and the culture.
missthedaze.fm is a weekly cultural publication about UK music before everything changed. Grime. Garage. Channel U. Pirate radio. MySpace. The era when music felt like it belonged to you because you had to work to find it.
"Recreating the feeling of growing up with UK music before the credit crunch era."
This isn't a blog. It's not a community platform. It's not a merch brand. It's an archive — expressed through writing, sound, and occasionally, objects. One piece a week, every Friday, without fail.
The mixes aren't just DJ sets — they're emotional timelines. The articles aren't just reviews — they're cultural autopsies. Built around one question: what did we lose when music got easy?
Based in NW London. Broadcasting on 101.7 FM — fictional frequency, real transmission.
"We don't sell merch. We make objects that belong to the era we're documenting. Occasional editions. Small runs. When they're gone, they're gone."
Vintage football shirt silhouette. Retro collar. Oversized fit. The kind of shirt you'd have seen in a Channel U video, if they'd had the foresight.
Left breast: miss the daze when i was a kid in small serif. Right breast: 101.7 FM radio badge. Nothing else.
