UK producer Contact Point returns to Make Your Era with his latest single ‘See Me’. The vocal-led UK garage record captures a moment of seasonal shift. Built on crisp 2-step rhythm, warm melodic textures and confident vocal presence, the track balances physical groove with emotional lift. Elastic bass movement drives the energy while subtle atmospheres create space for the topline to breathe.
It marks another step forward for Contact Point within the label’s core roster. Curated by Vibe Chemistry, Make Your Era has steadily evolved into a platform supporting forward-thinking UK club music across bass culture, garage and drum and bass.
For this edition of Hot Picks, Contact Point shares the music shaping his mindset right now. From UK rap and drum and bass to emotional vocal records and personal studio moments, the selections reflect the sounds that keep him inspired both in the studio and in everyday life.

Contact Point’s selections reveal a producer shaped by a wide musical palette. UK rap attitude, emotional vocal music and bass-driven club records all sit side by side, reflecting the diversity of sounds feeding into his productions.
That blend is evident throughout ‘See Me’. The record taps into the rhythmic DNA of UK garage while embracing modern melodic detail and a clear vocal centre. It feels designed for movement but rooted in emotion.
