John Summit took the stage on Saturday, February 7 for an amazing sold-out show at the Coors Light Bird’s Nest following the Phoenix Open. This marked the first time in years that a DJ sold out general admission at the Bird’s Nest. Summit recently released his new track, “Lights Go Out,” with a music video that quickly captured viewers’ attention. The video is a nod to his life before music stardom. Summit worked as an accountant before his rise to fame, thus the video takes place in office cubicles with employees dancing under strobe lights and throwing papers in the air.
Summit also hosted a competition where producers could remix his new song for a chance to have him play it live. Up-and-coming producer Dennet won the competition with a bass-heavy remix of the hit track. Summit opened his show with this remix, making the crowd go wild. He later closed the show with a short snippet of the original version of the song.
BUNT opened for John Summit and later took the stage at Maya Dayclub in Scottsdale following his Bird’s Nest performance. After BUNT, DJ Silver performed and incorporated some of John Summit’s hit songs into his set.
During his performance, Summit played one of his iconic remixes of “Die Young” by Kesha, transporting the audience back to 2012, as well as his remix of “Where Have You Been?” by Rihanna featuring Wooli. He also included his remixes of “Sweet Disposition” and “Silence,” which kept the energy high.
Summit performed his new song “Shadows” featuring LAVINIA, which was recently released on Wednesday, February 11. He announced that he will be releasing a new song from his upcoming album every other Wednesday before performing the entire album live during his closing set at Ultra Music Festival at Bayfront Park in Miami on March 29. Summit revealed that when he was working as an accountant, Wednesdays were the most difficult day of the week to get through. He chose to release new music on Wednesdays to help brighten everyone’s day and help fans push through the middle of the work week.
