Cameron McLaren, recording as Consequence, is a pivotal figure in the 'minimal' or 'Autonomic' movement of drum and bass that emerged in the late 2000s. Primarily associated with dBridge's Exit Records, his sound represents a radical departure from traditional jungle or techstep.
His debut LP, Live For Never (2009), solidified a style characterized by 170 BPM tempos played at half-speed, creating a spacious, 85 BPM feel that incorporates elements of IDM, dubstep, and ambient techno. Critically, he is lauded for his 'less is more' approach, using micro-percussion and deep, rolling sub-bass to create a sense of cinematic tension. His work often features collaborations with vocalists like Jenna G or peers like Instra:mental, yet maintains a consistent aesthetic of clinical isolation. Within the electronic scene, he is viewed as a producer's producer, influencing a wave of artists who prioritize sound design and spatial depth over traditional club tropes. His career arc reflects a steady commitment to experimentalism within the fringes of bass music.
