HL & Elvii are ‘Fighting For Freedom’ with their new single on Make Your Era

Release:

---

Some tunes arrive quietly. Others kick the door off its hinges and demand your attention. ‘Fighting For Freedom’ does the latter. This latest collaboration from HL and Elvii lands with purpose, confidence and just the right amount of grit, staking its claim in that sweet spot between mainline Drum & Bass energy and underground intent.

From the opening bars, ‘Fighting For Freedom’ moves with momentum. Rolling basslines sit low and heavy, drums snap with precision, and the groove keeps pushing forward without ever feeling rushed. It is built for the dancefloor, but not at the expense of feeling. Festival rigs will love it. Clubs will feel it. Headphones will reveal the detail.

At the centre of it all is Elvii’s vocal. Direct, emotional and unfiltered, it carries the weight of the track without overplaying its hand. Written from a place of frustration and release, the lyrics tap into that familiar feeling of being stuck in a cycle that pulls you away from creativity and purpose. It is honest songwriting, delivered with confidence, and it gives the record its spine.

HL’s production keeps everything locked. There is a clear sense of control here, with sharp drum programming and a clean, uncluttered arrangement that leaves space for the vocal to breathe. The energy is punchy, with subtle jump-up touches woven into a broader Drum & Bass framework. This is music designed to move people now and still hit months down the line, not just chase a quick reload.

The collaboration itself came together naturally. After discovering Elvii’s vocal work online, HL reached out with a shared vision and a mutual understanding of where the track needed to go. That trust shows. Nothing feels forced. Both artists meet in the middle and let the tune speak for itself.

‘Fighting For Freedom’ finds its home on Make Your Era, the label curated by Vibe Chemistry. The imprint has become a launchpad for emerging talent and forward-facing Drum & Bass, and this release fits that ethos perfectly. It is about development, visibility and letting artists define their own sound without sanding off the edges.

HL continues to refine his identity as a UK-based Drum & Bass producer, blending impact-driven DJ sensibility with a growing focus on structure and longevity. Elvii, meanwhile, is carving out a voice-led lane rooted in lived experience and emotional clarity, putting songwriting front and centre.

This one is made for late nights, sweaty rooms and big systems. Turn it up and let it roll.
