No Comments Music

Manchester’s very own Tom Wills is an openly queer vocalist and performer who is boldly redefining what it means to lead modern dance music. His debut single, “Mid-Night Moves,” pulses with sleek, vocal-driven club energy and a confident Northern edge, expertly produced by Sholz-Y. On October 24th, Tom expanded on this vision with the release of a four-track EP, also titled Mid-Night Moves, a collection that seamlessly blends infectious beats, emotive vocals, and a fresh, forward-thinking take on dance music. Let’s talk more about it.

“Mid-Night Moves” is the title track. Right from the start, shimmering synth-pop tones sweep in, evoking the high-gloss, dancefloor-ready energy of a Calvin Harris track. This title track is the definitive statement on the EP’s core subject: the irresistible energy of late-night attraction. The lyrics capture the tension and excitement of a shared gaze and the urge to surrender to the moment on the dancefloor, focusing on physical and emotional chemistry. Musically, this is the quintessential Commercial House/Dance-Pop centerpiece. It features a driving, highly energized four-on-the-floor beat and an anthemic, high-register vocal hook delivered by Tom Wills. Sholz-y’s production is bright, utilizing glistening synth riffs and a massive, euphoric buildup-and-release structure, making it instantly club-ready and infectious.

The second song is called “Mid‑Night Moves (Plant-Based Remix)”

The Plant-Based remix takes the energy in a more reflective, ambient direction. Layers of airy synths and subtle textures replace the punchy rhythms of the original, giving the track a softer, introspective vibe. Tom’s vocals shine even brighter in this version, emphasizing nuance and emotional depth. This mix transforms the song from a club anthem into a meditative nighttime journey — perfect for moments of quiet reflection or chill listening.

Next is “Mid‑Night Moves (Fire Pit Remix)”

The Fire Pit remix heats things with a richer, more grounded sound. Percussive elements and deeper basslines evoke warmth and intensity, turning the track into a communal, almost ritualistic dance experience. Here, “mid-night moves” feels like release and transformation — a celebration of energy, passion, and shared connection. It’s a version that makes the night feel alive, ready for movement and liberation.

The last song is called “Mid‑Night Moves (Giddy Monkey Remix)”

The EP closes with the Giddy Monkey remix, a playful, quirky reinterpretation that injects fun and spontaneity into the song. Bouncier beats and whimsical synth flourishes make it impossible to sit still. This version highlights freedom and joy, turning the night into an adventure of self-expression and dance. It’s the perfect reminder that the EP isn’t just about mood — it’s also about embracing the lighter, joyful side of nightlife.

Tom Wills and Sholz- Y’s Mid‑Night Moves EP is a compelling collection of songs that explores a single idea from multiple emotional angles. From the polished club energy of the original to the reflective, intense, and playful remixes, each version offers a unique listening experience. plant-based vocal talent anchors every track, making this EP a bold introduction to an artist who blends modern dance music with depth, personality, and heart.
