"Comfort in Chaos": John Summit's Debut Album Is an Ode to Emotional Resilience and Self-Discovery
Contrary to his outgoing and flamboyant personality, John Summit has always approached his music with the utmost vulnerability.
A massive touring schedule featuring headlining sets at Coachella, EDC Las Vegas, Tomorrowland and hundreds more sounds like a dream. But the house music superstar's life has been a balancing act of passions and priorities, weighing the highs of touring and partying with the lows of returning to an empty hotel room, staying healthy on the road and maintaining his emotional wellbeing.
Summit explores this difficult dichotomy in Comfort in Chaos, his long-awaited debut album. True to its name, it explores the battle of trying to control the uncontrollable, reflecting the Chicago-born beatsmith's own journey.

A coming-of-age of sorts, Comfort in Chaos uncovers the veiled, more introspective side of Summit. The album solidifies him as musician who is not only able to command the dancefloor, but also elucidate the complexities of the human experience through electronic music.
