Hitting play on Consequential’s “ComeAround” is like turning on the engine of a sleek sports car, a prelude to a neon–lit night race. With this Bury St. Edmunds, England native, this is a liquid drum and bass track that is pulse pounding and simultaneously follows the footsteps of the genre’s pioneers but also charts a new path. It’s razor sharp production with clean beats, textured bass and shimmering synth melodies all intersect into euphoric and soulful soundscape.
On the first note, “ComeAround” hits like a freight train–driving rhythms that speak to the panic and thrill of speeding down a coastal highway. Vocal snippets are captivating and very perfectly layered, it lends a human touch to it, weaving in and out of the mix as if a guiding light. You feel alive and ready for whatever is going to happen, that's the kind of track that takes even a quiet evening and makes it electric. You can hear how much drum and bass means to them and how much of an unmatched energy the feelings that genre fills you with has.
So what makes this track special is the balance between power & subtlety. Crafted in unconventional settings (their bedroom and garden), consequential infuses the song with intricate details which are impossible to discover on the first, second or even third listen. It's high energy yet thoughtfully built around flowing basslines, meticulously placed rhythms and atmospheric layers that invites reflection. It is club ready, very cinematic and suitable for both dance floors and late night headphone sessions.
“ComeAround” shows that Consequential takes its indie art seriously and give back to the music that has inspired them. Still very much a feel good anthem which proves their firm presence in the DnB scene. This is a must hear gem for liquid funk fans (or for anyone wanting to hear music that brings about joy and movement).
