Today, multi-genre artist and global dance sensation, John Summit, and eight-time GRAMMY Award-nominated musician Kaskade debut their brand new collaboration “Resonate” out now via Darkroom/Experts Only. Experts Only is a house, tech-house, and techno music label & events brand founded by Summit. Listen to “Resonate” HERE.
“Resonate,” takes listeners on an electro-musical rollercoaster kicking off with hazy vocals from electro-soul songstress Julia Church set to a hallucinogenic musical backdrop. The track builds momentum before ultimately changing the tempo for an emphatic beat drop. With Summit and Kaskade’s enhanced musical production abilities and creativity on full display, “Resonate,” is a standout track illustrating how good it can feel to be on the same page with the person you love. Both hailing from the same hometown of Chicago, the new release serves as a full circle moment for Summit who has continually noted Kaskade as a source of inspiration throughout his career.
On “Resonate,” Summit shares, “Being born and raised in Chicago myself, Kaskade was a huge inspiration & a dream collaboration of mine. Along with Julia Church’s epic vocals, we were able to merge our styles by combining emotional melodies and heavy techno production to create this dancefloor anthem.”
Additionally, Kaskade says, “It is exciting to see talent coming out of my hometown, Chicago. I’ve been keeping an eye on John Summit since he kicked the door down to be in this world, and I couldn’t be any happier for his success. I knew we would collaborate from day one, and “Resonate” is our first offering. It’s been an easy fit working and playing live with him, and I’m stoked to see what comes next.”
“Resonate” serves as the latest single off of Summit’s highly anticipated debut album Comfort in Chaos releasing Friday, July 12th. With this project, Summit reveals the man behind the icon, injecting his usual body-first approach to dance music with genuine heart and emotion. Summit strived to push himself musically and emotionally – hence tapping into a part of his identity that might not be immediately apparent to a lot of fans. Fans old and new will find moments of extraordinary beauty (and hedonism) across the album, which nods to Summit’s core Chicago house roots while touching on British genres he loves like garage, liquid and dancefloor drum & bass.
John Summit has been on a nonstop tear. He was recently announced as the brand new face of Bose and released a collaboration with dance music virtuoso and drum & bass pioneer Sub Focus, “Go Back,” featuring Julia Church, to major acclaim with the song first premiering on BBC Radio 1’s New Music Show. This Spring, he performed two electrifying sets at Coachella, including a massive solo set closing out the Sahara Tent as one of the headlining acts along with an unforgettable performance with Dom Dolla as Everything Always at the Outdoor Theatre along with two exhilarating performances at EDC (one solo and another closing out the festival B2B with Green Velvet). Additional album singles, “EAT THE BASS” and magical collaboration “Shiver” with hotly tipped and in demand UK artist/singer & songwriter Hayla, have made waves on dance floors everywhere. He’s set to hit the road on a global run of shows with stops in New York, Toronto, Mykonos, Ibiza and many more.
His rise in the dance music scene has been nothing short of meteoric, being the only DJ named in Forbes 30 under 30 list along with a significant callout as the next “dance music sensation” in Rolling Stone’s Future 25, selling out his first stadium headline show (22,000 tickets) at Los Angeles’ BMO Stadium last December, and announcing the sell out of his June Madison Square Garden headline less than two hours after tickets went on-sale.
