John Summit

An unstoppable force in modern dance music, COGO is proud to bring John Summit to Electric Brixton on Friday 21st October for his first ever headline show in the UK.
With his infectious style of feel-good, bouncing house, the Chicago native has amassed over 5 million monthly listeners on Spotify alone and was the top-selling Beatport artist across all genres in 2021. This is testament to his prolific output and hard-working nature, which has also seen him play on international stages including Coachella, Lollapalooza and Tomorrowland.
It is for these reasons that we cannot wait to have this young star take to the decks at Electric Brixton. It feels like the perfect match; one of the leaders of contemporary house music playing a venue that has been at the forefront of the British music scene for over 40 years. This iconic institution also compliments the artist’s love for dance music history – having grown up in Chicago, the birthplace of house, Summit wears this influence on his sleeve, often citing the city’s pioneers such as Mike Dunn and Derrick Carter as his inspirations.
It’s this knowledge and love for the culture that have made Summit a genuine global star, and allowed him to forge a deep connnection with UK mainstay Defected Records. The label has released smash hits including ‘Deep End’ and the 2022 sound-of-the-summer, ‘La Danza’, and Summit has performed regularly on Defected Radio. This transatlantic partnership with one of the biggest labels in dance music only increases our excitement for the artist’s first headline UK show.
