TJ Lawton has been quietly putting in the work. Releases on Purified, Natura Viva, and a string of respected underground labels have established him as a solid reputation in the melodic and progressive scene. His DJ sets are tight, his productions sharper with each release, and his direction is clear.
His latest single, ‘Ecliptica’, marks a turning point. Out now on Swiss label Enormous Vision, it’s a full-bodied slice of melodic techno. Heavy on groove, rich in emotion, and designed for peak-time. It captures everything he’s been moving towards: club energy with real substance.
To mark the release, TJ shares five tracks that have been shaping his sound lately. From atmospheric builders to acid-tinged club weapons, each one tells you a bit more about where his head’s at and what he’s playing out.
TJ Lawton – Ecliptica [Enormous Vision]
My own latest release—designed as a peak-time weapon with a balance of groove, melody, and tension. It’s playful but driving, emotional but club-ready – a proper statement track for where my sound is heading next.
Stone Van Brooken – INSOMNIA [ERRORR]
Stone breathes new life into the iconic classic, delivering a slick, modern rework with crystal-clear production. It’s punchy, dynamic, and hits all the right spots—an effortless crowd-pleaser.
Marksman, Sleepless Skies – Lucid [Monowave Records]
A beautifully crafted track from two good friends of mine. It’s a touch more laid-back than my usual picks, but the emotion runs deep—perfect for open-air sets or those more reflective dancefloor moments.
Corren Cavini – Agoraphobia [Purified Records]
The latest masterpiece from Purified—soulful, dramatic, and totally gripping. Corren Cavini manages to squeeze real emotion into a peak-time weapon, and that lead melody? Absolutely one of a kind.
Losless – Fastlane [Radikon]
No playlist is complete without some acid. Losless has been a favourite of mine for a while—his productions are always pristine, and Fastlane hits hard with that gritty, old-school rave energy. You can really feel the heritage in every sound.
With more new music lined up for later this year, ‘Ecliptica’ feels like the start of something bigger. TJ’s carving out his space with a sound that connects, built for late nights, but rooted in feeling.
Keep an eye out. He’s not trying to be everywhere, but the right people are paying attention.
