they have a game plan and it strives for quality over quantity. makes every release a "must have".

i think Mala is focused on his Deep Medi label right now and Loefah is concentrating on his Swamp 81 label...

i think we would all like to see at least 1 or 2 DMZ releases this year though no doubt...

I'm intrigued to see how a label like DMZ playing the long game might help dubstep ride out some of the hype turbulence that comes with sub-genres coming and going...

funnily enough i interviewed mala last night for the bassmusicblog.com site and asked him about this - but he said it wasn't down to any particular game plan, that's just the way it happens...

anyway, will transcribe it shortly, hope to have it up on the site in the next couple of days

Dubstep is bigger than a sub-genre TBF - I'm sure in its current "popular" form it will continue for some time. What we have now is a small continuum of what the sound stood for all those years ago becoming a sub-genre including the UK Funky thing and the deeper sub-genres of that movement that echo some of the ideals we saw in the early DMZ releases. It'll be interesting to see where the label goes next if indeed it continues to release music.

this interview (imo, one of the best interviews on you tube, in relation to this scene) explains a lot of the reasons why the dmz label is so important, and its already created its own legacy. quality over everything else. sound first...then everything else.

i think the same mate, each to their own. Every1 has diff taste and has the right to say they don't like a track without getting shit. But if ya gonna be rude and say tracks are shit, then expect to get some shit. But i must say DMZ have some very very fine music. It's not about the lable it is simply down to the great artists that release the music on the lable. Thing i love about DMZ releases is the diversity, there is somrthing for every1
