Contrary to his outgoing and flamboyant personality, John Summit has always approached his music with the utmost vulnerability.
A massive touring schedule that includes headlining performances at Coachella, EDC Las Vegas, Tomorrowland and hundreds more concerts sounds like a dream. But the house music superstar’s life has been a balancing act between passions and priorities, weighing the highs and lows of touring and partying against those of returning to an empty hotel room, staying healthy on tour and maintaining her emotional well-being.
Summit explores this difficult dichotomy in Consolation in the chaoshis long-awaited debut album. True to its name, it explores the battle of trying to control the uncontrollable, reflecting the Chicago-born beatsmith’s own journey.
A kind of coming of age, Consolation in the chaos uncovers Summit's more introspective and veiled side. The album cements him as a musician who is not only capable of dominating the dance floor, but also of illustrating the complexities of the human experience through electronic music.
The album Summit combines powerful, vocal tracks like “Tears” and “Give Me Anything” with contemplative interludes like “Comedown” and the album’s title track, “Comfort in Chaos,” that perfectly reflect her background of recognition and acceptance. This dynamic range is further enhanced by collaborations spanning from fellow Chicagoan Kaskade to EDM.com Class of 2024 star Of The Trees, further showcasing Summit’s diverse influences.
Through sublime production and emotive songwriting, Summit conveys the idea that trying to control everything—whether it be chaotic life on the road or personal issues—isn’t sustainable. Instead, the record suggests that true solace comes from embracing the unknown and figuring out how to thrive amidst life’s uncertainties.
Consolation in the chaos is out now via Darkroom and Summit's own label Experts Only. Listen to the new album below and find it on streaming platforms here.
