John Summit Inspires Vulnerability With Debut Album ‘Comfort In Chaos’

At last, the bender king blesses us with his masterpiece. From ‘Human’ , to ‘Where You Are’, we have followed and supported Illinois native John Summit. The golden child of this generation of EDM enthusiasts presents us his magnum opus. comfort in chaos is the debut album of the Experts Only label lead. With a long list of legendary collaborators including Kaskade, Sub Focus, Julia Church, Hayla and Of The Trees, to name a few. We will bask in the glory of this album, and honor the tracks that make us cry, dance, and cry again. With a little mix of Melodic House, Drum and Bass, Downtempo, and great vibes, we definitely pre-ordered the vinyls.

The Comfort in this Chaos

First thing first, let’s run back to the singles he has released in the last year that gave this album the expectation and excitement from fans all over the world. Singer and songwriter Hayla has become a major player in Daddy Summit’s team. Both ‘Shiver’ and ‘Where You Are’ channel her prowess with her ethereal vocals. Their lyrics are as lovingly and sentimental as the melodies. Unconditional love and the desperation to hold a moment in time is evident across the span of the album.

‘Resonate’ with Kaskade and Julia Church brought these feelings of being profoundly in love to life. This was also a heavily expected collab, as we all wanted Daddies Kaskade and Summit together, and after Summit’s legendary Arc Music Festival performance, we have waited for this track for almost a year. There is a lot of consistency in the album, with each track bringing a different melodic element to the table thar still encapsules similar sentiments. As a whole, the aesthetics of the album remain victoriuos.

Hidden Gems

Now we can get to the new tracks that pleasently surprised us. These tracks weren’t singles. However, they have a deeper connection to the idealities of the album that resonate heavily within the listener. ‘Stay With Me’ features organic bass and downtempo artist Of The Trees. The Maine native is a staple in the bass community with intricate sounds and focus on nature. His producing style is the perfect addition to comfort in chaos, with softer textures and inspiring vocals. ‘Undo’ continues the vulnerable side of Summit with a beautiful piano intro and vocals that remind us of the happy, good feeling of ‘What A Life’.

‘Comedown’ is a special track in LP with no features. It showcases the rawness of Summit in producing and the feeling after the party after the high is gone and everything slows down. Moreover, ‘Tears’ with Paige Cavell presents us with a very melancolic feeling, very similar to early 2010s progressive house we have all come to love. Lastly, we wanted to mention ‘Eat The Bass’. As the only sexy house track in the album, this track develops a different side of the album we don’t see in other tracks. Consequently, we could consider this song as part of the chaos.

Writer’s Pick

And alas, we still have to play favorites, cuz we can, and you can’t do anything about it. The pick for favorite track goes to… drum roll please… ‘Give Me Anything’ with Elderbrook. Where do we start? from Elderbrook’s sensational vocals, the inspiring beat, or the nasty Melodic Techno drop, this song merges the comfort and the chaos and brings out the perfect balance of both. If there is a track that fits right in the center of the album and pushes for a different sound that is totally different from all tracks but also is in perfect synergy with it, it’s this one.

We never doubted the ‘Deep End’ producer to provide us with a significant body of work. We have seen him transform from being an accountant to being one of the biggest DJs in the world. After massive number 1 hits, incredible sets in major stages all over the world, and great memes online, we give comfort in chaos our EDM Tunes seal of approval.

What’s next for Summit? We all hope there will be more music, more beautiful moments, and more memes. Bye bye!
