Consequential’s "Not The Type" soars with lush soundscapes & euphoric energy
Consequential is no stranger to pushing sonic boundaries, but Not The Type marks a pivotal moment in the artist’s evolution—a more commercial-leaning, yet deeply immersive drum and bass track that feels like a breath of fresh air. From the very first moments, the song sets itself apart with a truly unique touch: the incorporation of bird songs, blending natural ambiance with electronic textures in a way that feels both organic and otherworldly.
The intro hits hard but feels weightless, as layers of atmospheric synths and lush pads drift like morning mist over a soundscape alive with nature’s chorus. It’s cinematic, almost meditative—a moment of stillness before the storm. And then, the track picks up into a grandiose, high-energy drum and bass groove, rolling forward with an undeniable momentum that balances intensity and tranquility in perfect harmony.
Where Not The Type truly shines is in its masterful production. Consequential weaves together incredible layers of sound, creating an almost three-dimensional listening experience. The bass is warm and full, the percussion crisp and driving, the melodies dreamlike yet purposeful. It’s a track that demands to be experienced with headphones on, eyes closed, lost in its immersive sonic landscape.
What makes this single such a standout moment in Consequential’s catalog isn’t just its accessibility—it’s the way it seamlessly bridges introspection with euphoria. There’s a serene yet exhilarating quality to it, as if it exists between two worlds: one of quiet reflection, the other of boundless movement. It’s the kind of track that works just as well in a packed club as it does on a solo night drive, letting the city lights blur into streaks of color.
With Not The Type, Consequential proves that sonic experimentation and commercial appeal aren’t mutually exclusive. Instead, they can exist in a beautiful, immersive balance—one that feels as fresh and alive as the birdsong that opens the track. If this is any indication of what’s next, the artist’s future is looking bigger, bolder, and more sonically expansive than ever.
