Digital Mystikz are a dubstep production duo (consisting of Mala and Coki – when the two started making music together as teenagers they were known as Malibu and Coke) from the South London suburb of Norwood.[1][2] Along with Loefah and SGT Pokes, who make up the group ASBO (All Soundbwoy Out), they operate the DMZ record label and host the influential[3] bimonthly[4] nightclub DMZ, held at the Mass club complex in Brixton, London.[5] BBC Radio 1 DJ John Peel was an early supporter of Digital Mystikz, eventually putting them in his annual 2004 top 50 list at number 29.[6] They are among the scene's most famous producers.[7] Their song "Anti War Dub" appeared in the 2006 film Children of Men, although it wasn't included in the soundtrack. In the summer of 2008, Mala was chosen to headline the night portion of the Sónar Festival in Barcelona.[8] In April 2011, Mala travelled to Cuba with Gilles Peterson who was returning to Havana to produce the second instalment in the Havana Cultura series. While Peterson recorded new material with local musicians, Mala began work on a new album Mala in Cuba,[9] which was released in September 2012.

DMZ

DMZ has been described as one of dubstep's two "most influential regular clubnight[s]" (with its predecessor FWD>> the other one)[10] and "central to the scene".[11] Since starting in March 2005, the club's attendance has increased steadily.[12] DMZ's first anniversary, when a queue of 600 people[13] forced the club to move from its regular 400-capacity space[5] to Mass' main room, has been cited as a pivotal moment in dubstep's history.[10] BBC Radio 1 DJ Mary Anne Hobbs, whose support of dubstep has increased the music's popularity, discovered it at DMZ.[14] Straight outta Croydon fliers carry the slogan "come meditate on bass weight".[7] In 2005, an assortment of songs were created specifically to be played on the club's soundsystem.[3]

gollark: You also need to add those comments or it doesn't count.

gollark: This is the ultimate Go formatting.

gollark: ```go// detect if err isn't nil valueif err != nil { // if it isn't a nil value, make the function's return values be nil and the error in question return nil, err }```

gollark: Also, I'm semi-pointlessly asking again: anyone want an Ender Mailbox? I have them sort of half-working (needs fixes and lots of refactoring...). The idea is that you can send mail through ender chests to other people, somewhat securely and possibly automatically.

gollark: All shall be furnaces.
