“Mid-Night Moves” marks a dazzling debut for Manchester’s own Tom Wills, whose unapologetic charisma and powerhouse vocals make an unforgettable entrance onto the global dance scene. Produced by Sholz-Y and released through The Dance Division , the powerhouse label behind giants like Tiësto and Armin van Buuren, the track is a masterclass in modern dance-pop precision. It’s sleek, bold, and confident, dripping with that distinctive Northern swagger that only a true performer like Wills could deliver. From the opening synth pulse to the euphoric final chorus, “Mid-Night Moves” invites you straight into its hypnotic rhythm, reminding listeners that club music still has a heart, a soul, and a voice that demands to be heard.
At its core, the track is an anthem for connection , that fleeting yet electric moment on the dancefloor when music dissolves boundaries and the world narrows to just sound and motion. Sholz-Y’s production is lush and immersive, building a sonic architecture of deep basslines and shimmering synths that cradle Wills’s soulful, commanding vocals. It’s the kind of song that thrives in strobe-lit rooms and festival fields alike, but it also lingers the kind of hook you catch yourself humming hours later. There’s a sophistication here, a sense of restraint and control that elevates the track beyond simple club fodder into something emotionally resonant.
Tom Wills is not just another vocalist but he’s a performer in the truest sense. Raised in Lancashire and steeped in the energy of live music from an early age, his artistry carries echoes of disco royalty and queer icons, from Diana Ross’s poise to Freddie Mercury’s magnetic showmanship. “Mid-Night Moves” channels that lineage but modernizes it for a new generation, blending disco flair with contemporary electronic pulse. His voice moves effortlessly between silky vulnerability and commanding power, embodying the tension and release that define a perfect night out. Whether on the Liverpool Pride Main Stage or the BBC afterparty circuit, Wills brings not only sound but spectacle, a celebration of identity, glamour, and self-expression.
What makes this debut truly stand out is its authenticity. In an era where many chase trends, Tom Wills reclaims the dancefloor as a place of freedom and community. “Mid-Night Moves” doesn’t just invite you to dance ,it welcomes you to belong. Supported by DJs across Europe and already making waves on Dance Charts Germany, the single signals the rise of a new kind of dance icon: one who isn’t afraid to be real, visible, and boldly queer. With Sholz-Y’s polished production and The Dance Division’s global reach behind him, Tom Wills is not only redefining what it means to front modern dance music, he’s reminding us that the best moves happen when you let the night take over.
