Tom Wills x Sholz-Y: Mid-Night Moves
Tom Wills Steps Into the Spotlight with “Mid-Night Moves”
by Jack Rush
Manchester’s own Tom Wills steps onto the global stage with Mid-Night Moves, a debut single that redefines what it means to front modern dance music as an openly queer vocalist and performer. Released through Stockholm’s The Dance Division—home to icons like Tiësto, Armin van Buuren and Infernal—the track is a sleek, vocal-driven club release with a distinctly Northern edge.
Built on hypnotic synths, a deep bass pulse and Tom’s magnetic, soulful vocals, Mid-Night Moves captures that electric moment on the dance floor when the lights drop, the crowd exhales, and connection takes over. It’s a late-night anthem engineered for emotion as much as movement.
Already climbing charts across Europe, the track has entered the German Dance-Charts Top 100 (reaching No. 35) and hit No. 11 on the Commercial House Chart (GSA), placing it above releases from David Guetta, MK and Armin van Buuren. It’s also been named Outreach Radio’s “Hot Track of the Week” and continues to gain club and radio support throughout the UK and EU.
Tom Wills' partnership with producer Sholz-Y is a natural fit. Blending techno, house and commercial dance-pop, they create a sound that feels both polished and euphoric. Sholz-Y brings his melodic, international production style, while Tom delivers those big, expressive vocal moments that modern club music often forgets.
“‘Mid-Night Moves’ is about that rush of energy and attraction…
when the beat hits, the lights flash and two people connect.” — Tom Wills
The track unfolds like a small journey—beginning with a slow burn before blossoming into a vibrant, cinematic dance record. The percussion grounds the groove, the synths shimmer, and Tom’s voice steers the emotional arc. It’s made for the club, but equally suited for late-night drives when the city lights blur and the world feels wide open.
Lyrically, the song taps into the heat and thrill of falling for someone in the moment—the rush, the pull, the shared chemistry amplified by the midnight atmosphere. The energy spills beyond the speakers, consuming the listener and inviting escape, liberation and movement.
Beyond the music, Tom’s visibility matters. As an openly queer artist and mental-health advocate, he brings authenticity, vulnerability and charisma to a genre too often stripped of personality. His openness about anxiety, depression and ADHD reframes struggle as strength, grounding his artistic voice in resilience.
Mid-Night Moves also arrives during The Dance Division’s 21st anniversary, extending its legacy of bridging credible house, trance and pop for global audiences. Tom Wills and Sholz-Y carry that torch effortlessly—where style meets sound and rhythm meets confidence.
In just 3 minutes and 12 seconds, the track sweeps in, shakes off the rust of the day, and leaves you brighter, lighter and recharged by the time it ends. Sleek, groovy and emotionally alive, Mid-Night Moves isn’t just a song for your body—it’s one that gets into your spirit.
