Great article. As a Chicagoan that's been into dnb since '97, these last few years have been fantastic. Sam Binga's opinions really mirror mine as a "junglist" that's been turned off by the "loudness wars."

Read this earlier, this little movement has its haters... Im backing any kind of innovation in music though. Just waiting for that machinedrum LP to drop next and take people back to school

All the sub genre's will have their haters. For years we had arguments on DOA about tech steppers vs the choppage crew. At some point, I just realized that both sides were so far up their own asses that the music became sonic masturbation and stopped being fun. "How loud can I make this snare" vs "how many edits can I get in each bar."
