Is this the spiritual successor to ‘Shiver’?
John Summit is not holding back. One of the most influential acts of EDM over the last 20 months, turned to social media to tease a special song he’s working on. He turned to Twitter to comment, “currently writing what i think will be next years anthem“, alongside a short video which teases said song. Watch below.
The song, currently under the placeholder name ‘Ritual‘ as can be seen from the video, features an engulfing atmosphere with a somewhat Reese-ey bassline, and a warm female vocal, which seems to go just right down Summit’s alley. If we’ve been able to notice a pattern in his productions lately is just how much his recent craft is meant for a vocal topline as opposed to, say, his earlier Repopulate Mars stuff. And this one surely delivers.
The track seems to be in that style of very melodic and singalong-worthy Tech House he’s been pioneering for a while. After the rousing success of tracks like ‘Where You Are’ and ‘Shiver’, it’s only fair for the Forbes 30 Under 30 to write yet another chapter of his story with a formula that has assured fruition.
We’re yet to see where this new demo goes, and when — potentially, and when — he’ll premiere it, but for now, we can just wait… impatiently.
