Peel was an early fan along with Hermeet Chadha of the genre and started playing it from 2003 until his death in 2004. At the end of 2004, listeners voted some of the dubstep acts in the 2004 Festive Fifty which included artists such as Digital Mystikz, DJ Distance and Plastician (formerly Plasticman). After Peel's death, Mary Anne Hobbs promoted the scene and played it often on her shows.
Mala of Digital Mystikz acknowledged Peel's contribution and visited Peel Acres to pick his favourite records from Peel's record collection as part of the Record Boxes: Mala theme. He also paid tribute to Peel after his death:
"In 2004 the late, great John Peel contacted me, saying he was enjoying my music. So I said I'll send him dubs. I did and true to his word he played them on his Radio 1 show. He would play Digital Mystikz exclusives. He was the first person to champion the sound on national radio, regardless of how underground it was. He also played some Digital Mystikz tunes which to this day have never seen a release. He also played tunes by others like Distance, Vex'd, Mark One as well as few more producers back then....So much was happening in 2004, so much music getting made so much love amongst a unit a producers/dj's and listeners. A community I was pleased to be a part of, it became my life."
