The streets' favourite station.
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 an archive — expressed through writing, sound, and occasionally, objects. One piece a week, every Friday, without fail.
People who find this place keep saying the same thing: it makes them feel warm. Emotional. Like they miss a time they can't return to. That feeling — nostalgic, bittersweet, emotionally addictive — is what missthedaze.fm is built around.
Based in London. Broadcasting on 101.7 FM — fictional frequency, real transmission.
Channel U era. Sequenced like it matters.
Weekly essays on UK music, memory, and the culture that formed us.
Photos, aesthetics, and imagery from the era.
Listening events, mix launches, appearances.
missthedaze.fm is building toward its first live event — an intimate listening session for subscribers. A room. A sound system. The mixes played properly. No phones, no DJs. Just the culture, live.
Subscribers get first access to event tickets. Always.

Limited editions. Tied to the archive. When they're gone, they're gone.
"We don't sell merch. We make objects that belong to the era we're documenting. Occasional editions. Small runs. Editorially tied."
