Make Your Era returns with ‘Redeem’, a collaborative single from SEAMUS, HALLI and Rasmus Batelly that leans into the more melodic and expressive side of Drum & Bass while maintaining a clear sense of dancefloor intent. Built around vocal identity, clean production and emotional weight, the track positions itself as a record capable of reaching both club and radio audiences with equal strength.

At its core, ‘Redeem’ is driven by balance. Rolling drums and controlled low-end give the track its movement, while layered melodies and harmonic progression provide lift without overwhelming the arrangement. The production remains focused and deliberate, allowing space for the vocals to lead while keeping the energy consistent throughout.

HALLI’s vocal sits at the centre of the record, delivering a performance that feels both direct and reflective. The writing explores themes of self-worth, redemption and personal growth, shaped by a shared creative process between all three artists. Rather than leaning into excess, the vocal remains clear and intentional, giving the track its emotional anchor while maintaining its accessibility.

The collaboration itself came together during a songwriting camp hosted by SEAMUS in Orkney, bringing together three artists from different backgrounds with a shared approach to songwriting. That setting plays into the final result, with the track developing naturally through conversation, shared experience and instinct rather than forced direction. The chemistry between SEAMUS’ production, HALLI’s vocal delivery and Rasmus Batelly’s songwriting is evident throughout, each element supporting the other without competing for space.

While rooted in Liquid Drum & Bass, ‘Redeem’ carries a wider appeal. Its structure and topline lean towards a more commercial edge without losing credibility, making it as suited to late-night listening and radio rotation as it is to festival sets and club environments.

The release also reflects the ethos behind Make Your Era, the label curated by Vibe Chemistry. Known for championing developing artists and creating space for new voices, the imprint continues to build a catalogue that prioritises identity, collaboration and long-term growth.

With ‘Redeem’, SEAMUS, HALLI and Rasmus Batelly deliver a record that feels both personal and outward-facing, capturing a moment of connection while pointing towards wider potential ahead.
