She was PREPARED. She knows her shit, perfect questions.
I don’t know why this man questions himself. Obviously he has said that he doesn’t know how to accept his success but like this man is unbelievably talented. I do not think I’ve ever seen an upcoming like him. All of his fans love him and will support him no matter what but regardless. He does not miss on any of his tracks and you can tell he puts his heart into it. The dream would to be on his label some day
Because he is still just a guy in his bedroom makin tunes. It's really hard sometimes...

Seen him 6 times now. Every set was a comlpete different vibe and that’s what I love about him. From the Tech house masterclass at Arc afters to his wooky side at Scamp, he knows how to read a room that’s for damn sure
love that he's still so humble!!! "hardest part is making connections with people and not seeing them again"
After Friday, he is career is going to sky rocket even more; I’m here for it
Palm Of My Hands is really something else. So much emotion.
“Palm of my hands” is one of the most beautiful from the album! John, you can’t do wrong! So freaking excited for you! Thank you for sharing a bit more of yourself. 🫶🏼
Idk if this was scripted or not but he killed those questions precise no awkwardness or unsureness, congrats John I can see the work talent and passion, goals
half way through and she hasn't asked the question that all the reporters ask: "sO iS iT TruE yOu wEre An acCOuntanT?????"
MAJOR PROPS
Great interviewer! She knows her shit I appreciate that
Great interview. She knew whats up. Also loved that these questions were genuinely career driven, and questions were a little more personal. I feel like in other interviews he has done, the interviewer’s questions were more party driven
I vividly recall the first time I saw John Summit; it was in early 2020, just before everything was closed. This was especially significant because I typically avoid social outings, being an extreme introvert who has no interest in EDM. While on holiday, I decided out of the blue to try something new and went to some random ass club in the city. The atmosphere and choice of music that Summit curated was completely new to me and different from anything I had experienced. I am typically quite difficult to please or persuade, but that night truly changed my life; not only did I enter a new scene, but I also evolved into someone more receptive to individuals and experiences in general, somewhat transitioning into an extrovert. From then on, I made sure to catch him at every opportunity I can, this year thus far I just broke my 2021 record of seeing him 20ish times. Witnessing his sound develop from when he was grinding it out in the underground scene to what he has become now is a joy to see.
Wow! 🤯 what an amazing story and experience 🫶🏻
Being from Denmark/Europe, I’ve only had the opportunity to see him a few times at a festival in Croatia hosted by Defected Records who released a few of his early tracks.
But I was blown away by his sound as well.
So I totally get where you’re coming from ❤
Thank you for sharing your joy and happiness
i used to not fuck with john cause i listened to the small sect of pompus no fun edm crowd and its just wild that now i love john and furthermore have reeeeeaaaallly come around to house and techno. man This dude is super dope and a huge inspiration and like to think he was just a guy a while ago doing the same thing all of us other djs are doing, just grinding HAVING FUN, and just doing it. Thanks john really!
I’ve seen John about like 15 times now. He is my favorite DJ. What you’re doing is amazing and I’m so proud. Definitely doing something different and I love to see how much you’ve grown. After seeing you at Centro in Miami (iykyk) your career is just going UP! 🚀 Congrats John!
Palm of my hands makes me feel some type of way.. Can't wait for Friday!
Chicago work ethic! One of the hardest working guys in the biz!
John seems nervous (it's probably still overwhelming i can imagine) it's good that he seems humble hope he stays that way! & his album is crazy good so far! Haven't heard the newer tracks before but i hope i can see him on tour!
Also she is reall good at interviewing him!
John we thank you for leaving your comfort zone / being vulnerable in your new album because it is fireee 🔥
go back makes me cry everytime tooo 😭
We ❤ you John!! So very excited for his album and so very proud of him 🥲
Can’t wait for your album to come out! Wish you luck with everything!!!🔥
People really don't understand the idea of being an introvert. Nice to hear that Kascade is mentoring him. You can tell that he really doubts himself. That is sad to me because he's soo incredibly talented.
this was an awesome interview! great questions and the interviewer really knew her stuff which made for some great conversation topics. i love listening to him talk about his passions related to music!!
John Summit comes off as a pure homie. So many DJ's have an untouchable persona like Diplo and Deadmau5 but artists like Griz and John Summit seem like dudes I actually want to see at the BBQ.
Get it all, John. You rock! ❤❤❤
Go John go!! ❤🔥
I remember seeing John in Jacksonville Florida in a tent stage on a deck bar area for cheap and I had the time of my life!!! Congrats on the success. This was what 4 years ago? And I’ve seen him in space Miami. Love the music and the vibe! Keep it up
we love you Johnny boy 🥹🙌🏻🌩️🪩
My absolute favorite DJ of the last couple years
Wooo hooo!! Keep rising, homie.
Get em John 🤙🏽😎🖤🕺
Katie Bain does the best dance interviews 🔥
resonate is soo gooood! 😢🙌🏾
This interview slaps! Congrats John
I want a set or an experts only episode with all summys fav indie & jam tunes
This is great because I think edm will just continue to grow and they never give platforms for edm goats to use besides Zane sometimes and Zach but other than that I’m very happy people are still continuing interviewing edm artists
I’ll probably look back at this hundreds of times over the course of my life and I’m happy that others have it as well
Such a life pin to come back to
We need more people like John in the industry ❤
Wassup John summit I’m the first comment 😎 congratulations on the success I first heard of you with Deep End and saw you grow it’s crazy
Amazing album
GOAT
I have a strong feeling this album is going #1…
Something that reporters don’t really touch on and people may not know is the fact that John was actually an accountant prior to being a DJ. So crazy
🤣😂
billboard NEWS how the **** we feelin baby?
The 150,000 people in the crowd at EDC wasn't all for him. That was the total for the whole place
John should do Anime Expo next year, can't imagine the spin he'd put on some anime themes lol he got some opinions on anime too 😂
The Peggy reference was kinda ehhh haha but overall good interview.
Chat, how TF we feeling baby?!
Anime always wins 🎶
summmy so yummy!! 😍
I wonder how much his team pays for these features, it’s like an endless stream of money for promo
I was the 500th person to like this video look at me go
He's so nervous for playing a pre-recorded set at EDC lmao
