That was just young, dumb me, and I know I should not do that anymore.” A Self-Aware King That introspection was certainly evident on Summit’s debut album, 2024’s Comfort In Chaos, a collaborative-heavy re- cord featuring vocal work by Paige Cavell and Julia Church and production from Elderbrook and Kaskade. The album splits the difference between Summit’s per- sona as a tech-house carouser with on-the-nose titles like “Eat the Bass” and tracks begging to be played at a festival’s main stage, while also shining a light on the weightlessness of his other productions, complete with silky pads and sun- drunk vocals. There are clear inspirations stemming from the melodic and stretched-out synths of Deadman5 and Kaskade’s “I Remember,” a track that inspired Summit greatly. There’s even a touch of Chicago house music if you know where to look. In past interviews, Summit has remarked that Comfort In Chaos’s dichotomy is the point — the mainstream artist versus the underground DJ. There is the Summit the world knows, but then there is John Schuster, an introvert who wants to spend evenings watching anime, catching a Pan- thers game, and making beats. “I feel like I’m rooted in the underground,” he says when asked how he managed to traverse EDM-focused spaces like Ultra or LIV at the Fontainebleau as well as more tradi- tionally underground-oriented venues like Club Space or Detriot’s techno-focused bacchanal Movement. “I started going to these warehouse parties and heard sounds I had never heard before and became fascinated, and that was the sound I was originally producing. Then, when I went out and went to festivals from college, my friends and I would go to Movement and see Richie Hawtin. It was blowing my mind.” Summit considers himself a tastemaker, showing what new sounds there are via his label as well as being the trend starter. “Now, of course, since I make a sound that is more on the EDM stages, what is fun is taking these underground beats and maybe splicing them or bringing it down with vocals that can present it as a John Summit set. At the end of the day, it’s production. I do everything from techno to dubstep.” Summit has achieved a lot in a short time, but he has al- ready shown that he’s devoted to his craft. Whether you like the music or the persona is not the point. John Summit’s greatest ability seems to be his adaptability because just when you think you’ve figured him out, he’s ready to prove you wrong. “I’m more hungry and eager than ever. I’m still trying to learn new skills every day,” he says. “The second you lay off the gas is when life is boring.” Ultra Music Festival 2025.
