Influences: This extremely talented and relatively new producer is turning the heads of some of the drum & bass scene’s most respected DJ's and label owners. His music is getting serious support from dBridge & Instra:mental, featuring on their Autonomic Podcasts, and also on Goldie’s Metalheadz pod cast 5 which attracted over 50,000 downloads. Consequence’s recent solo productions have been getting love from DJ's such as dBridge, Instra:mental, ASC, Loxy, Sabre, Cern and Doc Scott. In early 2009 he was given the prestigious task of creating an album for Exit Records. He has risen to the challenge without even breaking a sweat (well maybe a little) and the debut LP is due for release in the latter part of the year. The rest of 2009 is set to see many collaborations alongside dBridge, Instra:mental, ASC, Joe Seven and Cern under the alias Conscern. Cam McLaren aka Consequence was originally born in Toronto, Canada. Early on in life he moved to New Zealand, this is 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 Zeplin) 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 and bass. In this time he honed his skills and took influence from his previous musical experiences. As well as music production, Consequence is an accomplished club DJ, and is resident at NZ drum & bass haven, FU Bar, promoting and playing at Auckland club nights In-depth. Also nights such as Tech Support and Your Sound alongside artists such as Cern, Bulletproof, Teknik, Menace, Dose, Logistics, Phantom, Presha and performed at New Zealand's biggest drum and bass festival, Phat which attracts over 8000 people. Since arriving in Melbourne his DJ services are in high demand and has started his brand new night, Polaroid. Look out for Dreadtone/Timeless forthcoming on Darkestral Excursions
