Personally I think we should have a time slot for a dubstep dj this year, I think the time is right. Obviously a lot of people now know of the genre and most people either hate it or love it. During Fanime 2011 I heard a lot of people asking for dubstep or was asking if their was gonna be dubstep at the dance that weekend because I was playing a few dubstep mixes I have on my speakers on my backpack and people nearby automatically knew what kinda music it was. Also during the convention at night when the normal dance hours would be I went outside in the balcony area and people over there were playing dubstep on their speakers and there was quite a bit of people there during that night. I also think that most people come to these dance event's because they don't go to real EDM event's. I think the only true way for them to experience the greatness of a good EDM event is to give them different genre's for them to dance to, let them hear the different beats and tempos of this electronic music. One thing I love about dubstep is that it's multiple genre's in one if you think about it. First off theirs the "dub" in dubstep, this originates from traditional Reggae dub so their's one genre. It also has hip-hop influence in it too with it's beat pattern's and sampled vocals so that's a second genre. Also my favorite fact about dubstep, did you know the womp's / wobbles you hear in a song were most of the time made by bass guitar rifts that are simply synthesized and re-sampled and replaced into the song. That's why it sounds so crazy to most people at first. With that being said that add's another genre to the list, rock music. They also use drum pattern's and symbols from rock music too, a good example of that is that Korn's newest album is gonna be rock / dubstep infused music. I think it would be a great idea to have different set times for different genres, we just need to spread the word about what kinda genre is gonna be played at what time.      P.S. Also a fan of Drum and Bass! ;D
