Chicago’s John Summit gives his hometown’s house history a futuristic pop update, fusing svelte grooves with sleek hooks and high-tech production. His 2021 single “Human” shows off his hybrid approach: The drums and synths recall ’90s progressive house, while singer Echoes’ vocals are refracted through ultramodern processing. He repurposes pop songs for prime-time club crowds on high-energy remixes of Diplo & Miguel’s “Don’t Forget My Love” and Jax Jones & Au/Ra’s “i miss u,” while his own melodic smarts shine on the Sofi Tukker collab “Sun Came Up.” For old-school grooves, meanwhile, his 2020 single “Deep End” stays true to classic house in all its punchy, bass-heavy glory.
