TJ Lawton Finds His Stride on Driving New Single 'Ecliptica'

TJ Lawton

TJ Lawton isn’t chasing trends. He’s building his own sound, one emotionally charged, club-ready cut at a time.

His latest single 'Ecliptica', out now on Swiss label Enormous Vision, hits that sweet spot between power and precision. A hypnotic lead line drives the track forward, underpinned by a rolling groove and a breakdown that clears the floor before locking back in with purpose. It’s built for peak time but leaves room to breathe. Grab your copy HERE or stream it below.

“Honestly, I just wanted to write something that would work in my sets,” TJ says. “A track that hits hard but still has emotion behind it. I wasn’t overthinking it, just chasing that balance between energy and atmosphere. Once I had the lead hook, I knew it had potential.”

That instinct-led approach has been central to his rise. Already supported by respected labels like Purified and Natura Viva, TJ’s sound continues to evolve. With 'Ecliptica', he’s found the perfect home in Enormous Vision.

“This one felt a bit more playful and driving, and I wanted it to live somewhere that really supports that sound,” he says. “Enormous Vision has been consistent with quality and energy, so it just felt right. Also, I’m friends with the A&R Innessa there. She actually helped me get the track over the line, so shout out to her.”

The track plays with tension and release, slowly building a hypnotic mood then snapping back with weight. This is no accident. It’s something TJ focuses on with purpose.

“I’m always thinking in terms of contrast,” he says. “Light and dark, tension and release. I want the track to feel like it’s going somewhere, keeping people locked in but not exhausting them. I try to trust my instincts and let the music breathe.”

That confidence comes from time spent on stage. From Egg London to Bluedot Festival, TJ’s DJ sets have given him real-world feedback on what works and what doesn’t.

“There’s stuff that works in headphones but doesn’t connect on a big system,” he says. “Playing live shows helped me realise what kind of impact I want my music to have. It’s changed how I build drops, tension, and how I mix things too.”

His studio process starts with the basics. Kick and bass come first. Then the hook. Always with the club in mind.

“I always begin my projects with the kick and bass to make sure I have a solid foundation,” he says. “After that, I focus on the main melody or hook to make sure I've got something memorable which will work across club and streaming.”

Although his music moves between genres, TJ doesn’t overthink that either.

“It’s honestly just a reflection of what I love,” he says. “I’ve always been drawn to melodic ideas, whether that’s in house, techno or something more leftfield. I don’t really see the need to stick to one box. If it feels good and it’s honest, I’ll run with it.”

His current setup is minimal but effective. It’s not about gear. It’s about knowing your tools and making them work.

“I keep it pretty simple, mostly in the box,” he says. “I’ve been using Serum 2 a lot for synth work and then a lot of digging for cool samples to fit the vibe. The main thing is just knowing your tools inside out. I’ve also got a few chains I built over time that help me move quickly without overprocessing.”

With more releases planned for the year ahead, 'Ecliptica' acts as a statement of intent.

“It’s definitely a signpost,” he says. “I’m leaning more into that melodic techno space with a bit more attitude. Still emotional, still musical, but with more weight. I’ve got a few collabs and solo projects coming that build on this sound.”

He’s also keeping close tabs on how the scene is evolving. The direction excites him.

“People are pushing the sound into new territory,” he says. “Blending cinematic elements, breaks, vocals in interesting ways. Artists like Innellea are still innovating, and there’s a wave of new talent coming through that’s not afraid to experiment. That keeps things fresh.”

With 'Ecliptica', TJ Lawton shows he’s not just part of the scene. He’s shaping where it goes next.
