Didn't DMZ lose the Mass, or decide to find a new venue? So the rumour goes anyway.
Its probably been a topic that has made the rounds before but I don't understand why people still decide to harp on about their beloved Dubstep being ruined by Skrillex and his ilk. I'm sure Mala isn't being payed a handful of pennies anymore, probably far from considering these days an artist with a forthcoming release/one release to his name can cost £500 + travel/accomodation. Skrillex isn't stopping Mala from producing music, playing out or making a decent living.
Its not even like Skrillex is taking the crowds away from DMZ or 'deep' dubstep. 14 year old kids that listen to chart music will still listen to Skrillex and the 'underground' will still listen to DMZ. The only cross over is in name, other then that the two things are worlds apart.
The biggest threat to dubstep is people on forums that complain and bitch about everything. So it would seem, anyway. Does anyone remember when Quest and a few others decided to announce their retirement on DSF a couple of years ago?
