Rising UK-based artist TJ Lawton steps up with a powerful debut on the Swiss label Enormous Vision. Out on July 18th 2025, 'Ecliptica' is a high-impact melodic techno track built for peak-time play full of tension, groove and emotional pull.

Driven by a hypnotic synth line and anchored by a heavy, rolling groove, 'Ecliptica' captures both the energy of the club and the depth of a well-crafted studio cut. The breakdown hits with real intent, opening space before launching back into a tightly wound finale. It's a confident and engaging release, the kind that stays with you long after the last drop.

Already known for his releases on Purified, Natura Viva and many more, TJ Lawton is fast carving out his place in the melodic and progressive space. His productions blur the lines between house, techno and electronica, with a sound that draws influence from the likes of Maceo Plex, ARTBAT and Colyn yet feels entirely his own.

As a DJ, TJ has brought his sound to some of the UK's most respected stages, including Egg London, Ritz Manchester and Bluedot Festival, where his high-energy sets continue to earn him a growing following. With a focus on emotion, precision and forward-thinking ideas, he's becoming a go-to name for club-ready tracks that carry weight and atmosphere.

TJ Lawton shares with 6AM the evolution of his emotive, genre-blurring sound, the story behind his latest release "Ecliptica," and his drive to keep pushing creative boundaries.

 

Hi TJ! Thanks for talking to 6AM, how are you doing?

Doing great, cheers! Excited to have “Ecliptica” out in the world and seeing how people are connecting with it.

 

For those that are just being introduced to you, your sound is often described as blurring house, techno, electronica. What brought you to this combination of sounds? Are there any artists or tracks that have made a large impact on your artistic journey?

I’ve always gravitated toward the middle ground between club energy and emotional storytelling. Early on I was really into dark disco and indie dance, stuff with a bit of weirdness. Then over time I found myself more drawn to the melodic world. Artists like Maceo Plex, Colyn, and ARTBAT definitely shaped that shift. But honestly, anything with a bit of bite and feeling will catch my ear.

 

 

You’ve released on labels like Purified, Natura Viva and now Enormous Vision with Ecliptica. How does each label shape your creative choices (if at all), and what made you feel Ecliptica belonged on the Swiss imprint?

Each label brings its own vibe and community, but I try not to write for a label too much. With “Ecliptica,” it just had that big melodic energy and confidence I felt aligned with what Enormous Vision is doing. The team got it straight away, so it felt like the right home.

 

If someone who’s never heard your music before listened to Ecliptica first, what would you want them to learn about you as an artist just from that track?

That I like to balance power and emotion. “Ecliptica” isn’t just a functional club tool—it’s got movement, character, and a bit of drama. Hopefully it leaves a mark, whether you’re in a dark room or listening on a solo walk.

 

You’ve played everywhere from clubs like Egg London to festival stages such as Bluedot festival. Do you prefer the intimacy of a dark club or the energy of a big open-air crowd, and why? Throughout your performances is there any venue/event that sticks out to you the most?

Both have their magic, but I’d say I lean toward intimate clubs where you can really control the energy in the room. Egg has always been a highlight, those extended sets where you can dig deep. But there’s something unforgettable about playing to a big, outdoor crowd at sunset too… so it depends on the moment.

 

 

Looking ahead to the rest of 2025, what’s the next creative risk or challenge you want to take—something you’ve never tried but want to push toward?

I’m working on a few collaborations that are a bit outside my usual lane, stuff with live instrumentation and more cinematic elements. I want to explore writing for listening as much as for dancefloors. Just keep evolving, basically.

 

Thanks again for taking the time to talk with us! Is there anything else you would like to add?

Appreciate you having me. If anyone reading this feels stuck with their music, just know that every artist starts somewhere. Keep showing up, keep experimenting, and back yourself—you never know where one idea can take you.
