Biography

As the Autonomic sound continues to evolve in 2011, Consequence remains at the very core with 3 full-length albums released on Exit Records. Since breaking through in 2009 with releases on Exit and Darkestral, he has worked with dBridge, Instra:mental, ASC and more recently Joe Seven (as 'They Live'), further developing his own unique take on bass-heavy electronica. His 2009 debut LP "Live for Never" set the standard high and balanced traditional drum & bass aesthetics with progressive production techniques to win plaudits from the wider electronic music scene

Now relocated to a new home in London, UK in 2011, this accomplished DJ/producer presents his second long-player of 2011, with the "Test Dream" LP (Exit)

Cam McLaren aka Consequence was born in Toronto, Canada and moved to New Zealand early on in life where he found his love of music. Early childhood experiments with a variety of instruments led to his love of composition and melody. Utilizing these elements in his current productions has given great variety in his sound and methods. At the age of 17 he decided to leave NZ for London where he pursued a career in music and played in a band as lead guitarist, performing in a number of successful live shows which led to record deal for the band. During a number of recording sessions at the Olympic studios (world famous for recordings of Jimi Hendrix/Led Zeppelin) he developed an interest in audio engineering and decided to move back to NZ to study this profession. He became focused on Electronic production, specifically drum & bass. In this time he honed his skills and took influence from his previous musical experiences.
