We’re thrown back to the mid-2000s. The smoke rises slowly in the air, and the familiar scent of marijuana suffocates the small north London flat. The frantic pirate radio station, Blaze FM, blares Jungle and Grime illegally for their keen listeners.
Hughbert and the squad would tell you that Blaze FM is the heart and soul of raw new music, the hub for relevant news for the everyman. The constant signal cuts by DTI would tell you a different story.
Can the dying station survive? Can Hughbert keep his dark secret hidden from those dearest to him? Are the constant threats from various authorities justified courses of action, or targeted attacks on freedom? “Drill music is being used as a scapegoat for everyone’s screw-ups” and Blaze FM is the latest victim.
