John Summit Shares Highly-Anticipated Single 'Focus' (feat. Cloves)
Listen to the song from the dance music artist.
Globally renowned dance music artist John Summit and Melbourne singer-songwriter CLOVES share their new single, “Focus” via Darkroom/Experts Only.
Since playing a snippet of “Focus” at his Experts Only set at Art Basel last December, there’s been insatiable demand for its release. John kicks off the new year on a momentous note, meshing trance-heavy instrumentals with an infectious and unforgettable chorus from CLOVES. Hushed, lulling vocals and pulsating rhythmic synth makes “Focus” as well suited for in-the-zone headphone listening as a festival crowd.
John Summit spent 2024 on a tear. In addition to his three sold-out shows at the Kia Forum, he headlined massive shows at Madison Square Garden (sold out two hours upon announcement), Coachella (closing out the Sahara Tent along with an unforgettable Outdoor Theater performance with Dom Dolla as Everything Always), EDC (one solo set and another closing out the festival B2B with Green Velvet), and two sold-out shows at Cow Palace in San Francisco. Playing Comfort in Chaos for the masses around the globe, the project has left an indelible mark and ejected him into the mainstream (debuting at #2 on Billboard’s Top Dance/Electronic Albums chart and #39 on the Billboard 200).

About John Summit
John Summit is one of the most sought-after names in global dance music. The superstar DJ, producer, and label owner has nearly one billion all time global streams across his catalog, two #1 US dance radio hits, two Top 10 tracks on the Billboard Hot Electronic/Dance Songs chart, and sold-out shows across the globe, including BMO Stadium in Los Angeles (22,000) in the fall of 2023, Madison Square Garden (17,000) in New York City in June 2024, with tickets selling out in under two hours, and three shows at the Kia Forum in Los Angeles in the fall of 2024, selling over 45,000 tickets. Whether he’s headlining a sold-out show or an intimate club, the Chicago native, now based in Miami, brings his signature brand of high-octane spirit everywhere he goes. However, behind the larger-than-life persona is a thoughtful, detail-oriented artist who once worked as a CPA by day and taught music production tutorials by night. As a recording artist, he logs long hours in the studio, perfecting each of his dynamic songs. He's toured the world, closing out huge festivals including headlining the Sahara Stage at Coachella 2024, and putting on his own shows in unparalleled locations like the slopes of Vail Mountain and the Caverns in Tennessee as part of his label Experts Only. One of the top touring acts in the world, Summit also has a keen interest in the underground scene, and Experts Only is part of his commitment to platforming the next generation of dance music talent. With global hits “Where You Are” (feat. HAYLA), “Human” (feat. Echoes) and “Go Back” w/ Sub Focus (feat. Julia Church) under his belt, Summit released his hugely anticipated debut album Comfort In Chaos, on July 12th, 2024 via Experts Only/Darkroom. The album, encapsulating themes of vice and virtue, highs and lows, total human duality, sees the artist revealing the man behind the icon, injecting his usual body-first approach to dance music with genuine heart and emotion. Summit is set to only get even bigger while releasing a body of work that’s rare in musical ingenuity and uncompromising in its memoir-like tone and texture.
