acclaimed DJ and producer John Summit returns with his new single “SHADOWS,” out via Experts Only / Darkroom Records. The second release off his highly anticipated new album introduces another long-teased crowd pleaser and continues to reveal the project’s versatility. CTRL ESCAPE is out April 15. LISTEN & WATCH HERE.
Featuring striking vocals from LAVINIA, where she beckons “come follow me into the night, we can go further than a million miles,” the track invites listeners into a seductive escape from reality. Intimate yet mysterious, the lyrics pair seamlessly with tech-house flourishes and layered synths, heightening a sense of desire and the pull of the unknown. This shared surrender reflects Summit’s broader album ethos, framing music not just as escape, but as a communal experience—where collective euphoria becomes both rebellion and belonging.
CTRL ESCAPE pushes boundaries by exploring and fusing a wide array of genres, from heavy-hitting tech-house flair to dubstep, drum & bass, and other broader influences. Fans are captivated by the new sound Summit is introducing, with teaser videos going viral of his new music featuring artists like Feid and Julia Wolf.
The transformation comes to life in the visuals for his debut album track, released just two weeks ago, “LIGHTS GO OUT,” which mirror the suffocating repetition of routine before bursting into explosive freedom, using the shift from cubicles and office life to club lights and chaos to tell a deeper story of self-liberation.
