Personally, I'm not a fan of this shift. I prefer EDM from the era of the track you linked to, and/or contemporary artists who emulate the older styles.

Mainstream it is not, and THANK GOD for that
Listen to dnb from two decades ago you can still see where current stuff comes from. Compare early Digital Mystikz stuff with Skrillex and you wouldn’t call them the same thing.
To save a click... It’s the garage track largely credited as the birth of dubstep
Here are some other "true" dubstep tracks, in no particular order:
- Burial - Archangel https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=3J1gvgwHblI
- Rusko - Jahova https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=1OE_jjJkkD8
- Coleco - Taostic https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=krGadL6Je6A
- Kode9 - 9 Samurai https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=1-rEAe4C8gk
- Skream - Mignight Request Line https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=vJGXRQ9vBoU

A lot of proto-wobble in this one.
Side anecdote... My oldest bro was in a band with her brother Davey in school and my second oldest bro was in her class.
The Loefah track in the parent comment though, I can get behind that.
On the other hand I love Fonik, for example.
I love even more Deadmau5, E.T.H, ...
I hate that guy.
