With the sweetly named ‘ComeAround,’ UK producer Consequential is back with a track that’s pure, exhilarating liquid drum & bass perfection. This ain’t a track to just hear, it’s a track to feel: a meticulously crafted, lively and energetic surge of sound built around the very essence of this music, all wrapped up with freshness and vitality. Channeling the liquid D&B legacy while drawing clear (yet surprising) inspiration, Consequential sounds both nostalgically resonant and thrillingly contemporary, with great results.
The first beat of “ComeAround” is hard to resist. Consequential’s evident skill is shown through production which is astonishingly clean and polished. Rock solid driving, energetic beats, along with a warm, propulsive, beautifully textured charismatic bassline that flows over them. It makes for that quintessential liquid funk sensation: you’re going too fast for the skills you possess, but you don’t care because you feel like you’re floating down some coastal highway on a stormy evening, wind whipping through your hair and everything forgotten.
It is a masterclass in balance and subtlety. Vocal snippets of etherealness ripple through the mix, giving the mix human texture and soul without the instrumentation getting overwhelmed. Sparkling and gliding, infectious synth melodies fill an atmosphere of infinite possibility – the sort of thing that dreams become when put to music. Repetitive listens are rewarded with delicate sonic details – subtle shifts, emerging textures and smart transitions that bear the hallmarks of Consequential’s stated love for nuance, this is far more than a dancefloor filler.
The recording process itself was entirely organic, beginning in bed and mixing out in the garden while doing the dishes, but this process seems to have translated perfectly into the track’s seamless, aerodynamic feel. It’s music that moves you, physically, emotionally.’ComeAround’ manages to do exactly what Consequential were aiming for, a soulful, feelgood D&B anthem.
A track that has an unmatched energy and euphoric potential, that will probably stay in your record bag for weeks to come. The producer has an in depth understanding of the genre and has crafted music that is visceral and that resonates on an artistic level. But as well as being a summer ready banger (though it certainly is that), ‘ComeAround’ is a beautifully produced, emotionally uplifting journey into the heart of liquid funk which solidifies Consequential as a very important and exciting name in the scene.
