John Summit’s been selling out arenas like Madison Square Garden, and we had the opportunity to talk to him about his latest album ‘Comfort In Chaos,’ his relationship with Kaskade, closing out EDC 2024 with childhood idol, Green Velvet, being accepted by the house music scene in Chicago and more!

John Summit:

The only way to get people to not say your name is by doing nothing, is by saying nothing. 

Katie Baine:

Exactly. 

John Summit:

And I do not want to choose that route. Hi, I’m John Sumit and you’re watching Billboard News.

Katie Baine: 

We have a lot to talk about yeah cuz you’re a busy man. Tell me about closing out EDC and playing with Green Velvet and what that moment was like for you.

John Summit:

That was like absolutely surreal, like Green Velvets been my childhood hero for you know, ever Since I started listening to house music, when he came out with “Percolator” like the year I was born. 1994, which is crazy. And then yeah, closing out EDC which is like, if you like every DJ stream, I think it was like 150,000 people in the crowd so… Which is weird like I thought I’d be nervous walking up. It’s like so many that like he kind of like your mind can’t even process and we just played it like a straight up Chicago house set and people liked it. So we’re happy.

Katie Baine:

Did I catch you crying for a minute there? At the end. 

John Summit:

It got a little emotional. 

Katie Baine:

Okay well tell me what was going on through your mind or like your your emotions at that moment? Because that’s a big deal.

John Summit:

I mean, I closed out the festival with “Go Back,” which is my new single with Sub Focus and Julia Church, you know. The writing behind it is you know, when I hear that sound…

Keep watching for more!
