DMZ
DMZ has been described as one of dubstep's two "most influential regular clubnight[s]" (with its predecessor FWD>> the other one)
[5] and "central to the scene."
[6] Since starting in March 2005, the club's attendance has increased steadily.
[7] DMZ's first anniversary, when a queue of 600 people
[8] forced the club to move from its regular 400-capacity space
to Mass' main room, has been cited as a pivotal moment in dubstep's history.
DJ
Mary Anne Hobbs, whose support of dubstep has increased the music's popularity, discovered it at DMZ.
[9] The club is known for the power of its bass, always an important element in dubstep;
[10] fliers carry the slogan "come meditate on bass weight."
[11] In 2005, an assortment of songs were created specifically to be played on the club's soundsystem.
