A hard-hitting, striking piece, ‘Down’ is the perfect meeting place between intensity and dreaminess, pairing gritty electronica with blissful textures and heavenly vocal samples. The result is a record that’s fast-paced and dance-oriented, yet reflective and otherworldly. The contrast between those two extremes leaves listeners in awe, really puzzled about what they are hearing.
Such a strong impression is guided by Consequential, English producer with a knack for imaginative material and out-of-the-box thinking. Drawing from the great UK dance tradition, he’s also looking ahead, fully framed in contemporary aesthetics. What’s more, the way he reportedly produced ‘Down’ – via a Bluetooth headphone and with a crackling CPU – is what gives the track a real earthy, twitchy quality.
Speaking about the inspiration behind the record, Consequential explains: “First heavier tune I’ve made in a while, felt good to release some tension and groove. Made all in the box with crackling CPU, even used Bluetooth headphones which is pretty disgusting really.” Such honesty is admirable: sharing his authentic artistry with the wider world, the British creative has certainly connected with us, and judging by his prolific release schedule in the past year or so, it won’t be long until we hear about him again…
