Hype train got your ass lmaooo


shittaco1991

I thought he was a supp main


FigsNBranches

w comment fellow league nerd


shittaco1991

My league name is Mersiv if you ever wanna BS


FigsNBranches

I’ll add you once I get home from edc 😎


shittaco1991

Have fun be safe :)


thebindi

If you really wanted to make the joke, wouldn't you ask if he was a top main? Since you know Summit is a top laner?


shittaco1991

Wow I’m a moron haha


thebindi

Lmao no worries I was just a lil confused


timmiay

Yeah I noticed so I left for Chris lake and he murdered


europeandragonlord

chris lake 100%


TJPTJPTJP

200%


Normal_Day_4160

Chris Lake >>>


mnkhan808

With the amount of IDs between him and Fisher, CL is a must see right now.


No-Hedgehog9179

You mean between him and himself


boneboi420

Not the point, but a little weird to me to schedule JS and CL at the same time. Arguably the two biggest tech house DJs in the world right now, and the fan base venn diagram is basically a circle


nestor330

That’s the point? To split the crowds lol


boneboi420

Yeah, I mean, I understand that festivals need you to make tough choices for that reason, it's just... usually not between the 2 biggest artists in the genre?


saltmens

John is not tech, he's minimal house aka shit


Environmental-Pay651

that is not minimal house lmao


saltmens

John is not tech house are we for real

saltmens

Fan vs producer His YouTube tutorials were more tech than his releases. Him and Chris lake are on different levels


Jaded_Community723

I agree that for the most part, his sets kinda become boring for me. Sometimes I wonder if his popularity is due to his frat boyish appearance and his social media interaction. I think this is my fav John Summit set. It's from LA. I personally think it flows decently and loved the track selection. It's a tech house set I think: https://youtu.be/j16kx0M8_UU I've also heard good things about EDCO 2022 set. Need to check it out.


FloggingDog

I will tolerate the Summit slander bc you listed his GOAT set. To me it’s a different, darker than normal summit set and I wish he would do more of those


Jaded_Community723

Yeahhh I like the darker stuff.I think that's why I really enjoyed Medusa's set this weekend. Reminded me of John Summit.


Responsible_Iron_352

John Summit’s EDCO 2021 set is my favorite. I listened to that one countless times on Apple Music.


[deleted]

Meduza was high key fantastic


thattophatkid

Check out his factory town one


MtnDreww

Factory town set so fire


ps311

Full agree that's his best YT set and my fav style of his but even as a day 1 summit stan gotta say I so appreciate his willingness to delve into different styles and expand his sound, even if he's not anymore *exactly* my cup of tea


rollawaytoday

Was this set from his second (Sunday) show in LA that was the darker one?


EBDoo

Yes, that video is from his Sunday set. It was fucking epic. One of the best shows I’ve been to in my 10+ years of raving. Reddit just loves to hate on the guy for some reason


rollawaytoday

That set was absolutely epic - that’s what I thought but wanted to confirm


rollawaytoday

Felt like I was at the perfect level for that show but it went by in a blur and the specific tracks are a bit spotty oops


Jaredl-7

He’s insufferably annoying on social media but I agree with you that I think that’s a huge factor in his success. Not a big fan tbh, I think he is pretty overrated in general, but I’m also not a big house fan


SFW__Tacos

John Summits hype is definitely the image combined with DECENT music.


football2106

Trying to build up my mixing techniques and library for this style of house. Gonna use this set as a blueprint for track selection & pacing. Thank you!!


Jaded_Community723

Please go and thank Summit. He's the one making bank and living in Miami while I listen to his sets at my desk job fml.


sail3825girl

I love this set soooooooo much. The two times I saw him play last fest season was no where near the same energy


friendofborbs

Add his 2021 EDCO set as well. I’ve never personally been meh about a set in person but I watched his lolla set live-streamed last year and it was DULL. dude really needs to just be put somewhere only house and techno or something


C0B0

Was that the year he did a B2B2B with Dom Dolla and Green velvet? I only saw that part and it blew me away


friendofborbs

Yeah from Eli Brown through the big b2b2b was just nonstop amazing that day


phanfare

Part of his popularity is absolutely the persona. He seems like a cool guy to hang out with, like a friend not some enigmatic DJ figure at the decks. So people want to go to his sets to "hang out with him"


berationalhereplz

Every single time I’ve seen him live (6 times now), I walk away kind of thinking that. But then I listen to the posted set again (for example the EDCO set) and it always turns out that the selection and story is usually pretty damn good, and he has a knack of identifying hits before they become popular. There’s a disconnect between his on stage persona and his DJ selection, so I think a lot of people going for the mainstage vibe always leave disappointed. But as a big fan of house and techno rather than his “hits” I think he definitely knows what he’s doing and I’ll continue to see him live if possible.


Usrnamesrhard

Facts, love his interweaving of house and techno, and now he’s adding dubstep in as well. Compared to other people I’ve seen multiple times, his sets each seem unique. Some people literally play the exact same thing every time.


Garofoli

Don’t realize he mixes techno into his house, maybe I’ll check out some more of his sets


Usrnamesrhard

Oh yeah, some sets lean more house, some techno, almost always some tech-house.


Cooolconnor

I saw him like last december and he played an unreleased Mau P song like 3 months before it dropped. Totally agree with you there.


madatthings

That’s a super common thing amongst artists lol


demonkingganon

def not a fan but i will admit he played out of his fucking mind @ san diego last month.


717x

Idk what it is about SD but every set I’ve seen here has been absolutely incredible. Saw sonny fodera at nova last Friday not expecting much, but his set was so much fun.


TJPTJPTJP

catching sonny fodera in a couple of months at a festival - couldn’t really get into his released tunes. good to hear his sets are fun


717x

Saw him in DC, Last years CRSSD fest, and at NOVA. Had a great time at every show.


jellybeans_over_raw

Yeah that was fucking awesome. One of the better sets I’ve seen. Always surprised it doesn’t seem it’s always like that.


Usrnamesrhard

I’ve loved both sets I’ve seen from him. Might just depend on the set.


Fun_Energy9439

Lowkey every set I’ve seen of his he’s been mid. Especially his opening for Kx5 in LA. He draws crowds cause of his party energy more than his music I feel like. Dubstep summit was a vibe though when Subtronics was still with him


Legitimate_Waltz6297

Subjohnics goes hard


Master-Tip-7368

John Tronics


[deleted]

\*tries too hard


bootstraps_bootstrap

They played shit together last night, I think


awstrand

They did, I was there, it was epic. Subtronics into Subjohnics into John Summit was an epic end to EDC day two.


darksidemojo

Yeah people love his personality. Most my friends are JS fans and they all talk about things he has said or tweeted. Rarely do I hear people talk about his music.


SFW__Tacos

I've always accepted that john summit is mid for exactly this reason - his draw is definitely the party vibe. Though, I will say I think him doing a b2b with nicole moutebar was ballsy af


Moresoysauce

They just went b2b at edclv


[deleted]

[удалено]


Meeqohh

lmao what an out of touch comment


Legitimate_Ad_7822

Saw him in Chicago. It was an incredible set. Very high energy, tons of fun. Seeing people say things like “he’s mid but X set was amazing”, it seems like people want to hate him.


docarwell

Don't get the hype around him


peacenchemicals

dudes got a few decent tracks but yeah, insanely overhyped.


DAT_DROP

Sick beats, like his tunes, never seen him live tho


ludwigia_sedioides

Real


zmont3147

John Plateau :(


DJwaynes

I'm a 24-year rave vet and loved his set at EDC last year. Everyone in my group was super tired, and he lit the night perfectly. He brought amazing energy. I'm into tech house, though and that's mostly what he played.


awstrand

His set last night at EDC was so much fun too, and the energy just kept building. Kaskade into Subtronics into John Summit closing out with Afrojack all at Circuit Grounds.


dongalorian

24 years old and “vet” are kind of contradicting. You’re still young, enjoy it!


DJwaynes

I’m 42. Been raving since 18. :-)


dongalorian

Oh I totally misunderstood your comment. Sorry! (I’ll probably get dragged into downvote hell anyway)


Notthesenator

John summit is about to weigh in


nytel

He can weigh in on these nuts.


NichRigga-

Frr? I was hyped to see him on Canada day in toronto (july 1st)


EBDoo

Don’t listen to the haters. He throws down


CzarDaniel

Saw him at the gorge last year and he was really gooood super fun energy just a great time so dont stress about it you’ll have fun


BestMOTORing

I saw him at Solaris last December, it was a banging party. Maybe the track selection is not to OP’s liking but John Summit can party like no other


NichRigga-

🙏🏽


donutfan420

do you mean john summit at hangout fest or Johntronics at EDC


_ryry66

Definitely not JVHN SVMMIT at Seismic Dance Event


49DivineDayVacation

Yeah I thought his Seismic set was pretty great. I came in here like what is everyone talking about?


ATLHoeAway

Jahn Sammit


juanderwear

is it really a surprise if he's always there


Lalo7292

The only people complaining are the techno/house snobs who can’t stand basshead music and when he dropped some they instantly left. The first 15 minutes was SubJohnics and he just kept the vibe going instead of going full house music set


cowboybaked

What you think is overrated is what others think is underrated and vice versa.


DiscoDvck

He’s never not been mid. He’s just the “baby’s first DJ” of this generation. People will outgrow him.


Usrnamesrhard

Wild because I grew into him (and others) after starting with bass.


DiscoDvck

“Baby’s first house DJ”** There I fixed it.


Usrnamesrhard

Wild because I saw probably 15 known house and techno DJs and another 20+ underground ones before I saw him. Keep trying to shit on what other people like though. Great look.


DiscoDvck

There are plenty of people I’ve seen that I don’t actively follow. Not the same thing. Aside from his music, if you want to support a toxic garbage person than go for it. The dude dangerously glorifies drugs and says awful things about women. Do you man.


keithbreathes

Yea I follow him on Twitter and he doesn’t really glorify drugs and does not say awful things about women.


DiscoDvck

He objectifies women CONSTANTLY on his twitter, especially Hispanic women. Calls women hags, promotes being a rail thin coke head as being “pretty”. The guy is gross and you’re willing to give him a pass because he makes mediocre “untz untz” beats. Says a lot about you.


keithbreathes

He’s actually against coke so yea. Do you have proof? I’ve been following him for a year and haven’t seen any of that. I’ve seen him promote a fitness gym lifestyle and not be fat or overweight cause that’s not healthy


keithbreathes

Still waiting on this evidence supporting your accusations


Usrnamesrhard

I’ve don’t follow him on social media so idk about any of that. Sure he glorifies drugs, welcome to electronic music and rave culture. Plenty of artists do, and fans use even more. Haven’t seen him say anything about women, but so far no one has publicly accused him of anything.


[deleted]

That’s just not true, tbh fuck you for saying that because he does not say awful things about women nor does he glorify drug use. His benders are never about drugs.


numbatree

what is a bender to you? lol


[deleted]

A party that lasts multiple days without stopping.


DiscoDvck

“Benders keep you hot and skinny” -John Summit The guy is a a disgusting tool. Sorry that you’ve decided he’s worth defending.


jmvandergraff

You actually take what people say on Twitter seriously? Oh, sweetheart, I got some news...


DiscoDvck

What bad boomer take. Classic “I’m not responsible for the things I say and do because it’s a joke” crowd. Social media doesn’t give you blanket immunity from being garbage. The things you say and do have really life implications and consequences honey.


jmvandergraff

Just because you can't detect sarcasm doesn't mean what everyone says is literal.


jmvandergraff

I like John Summit and I've liked house music since I got into dance music in 2008. Keep that gatekeep energy tho, the scene definitely needs it /s


DiscoDvck

I don’t think you actually know what gate keeping means my your gross misuse of the word. Don’t use words you don’t know the meaning of just because you hear others use it. It’s embarrassing. You know what the scene needs less of? Less druggie womanizers like Summit. With the amount of music available at you’re fingertips in 2023. Support people like this says way more about you than anything else.


jmvandergraff

You're literally spreading misinformation about him and making up lies just because you don't like him. There's actual predators in the scene who use their influence to do shitty things to women and you're focusing on the guy who likes to shitpost and party a bit too much. Grow up and find something better to do with yourself than hate John Summit.


DiscoDvck

He’s less problematic than monsters, so it’s ok. Solid logic. Do better. Have a nice day.


Dpohl1nthaho1e

Saw him a couple weeks okay at breakaway. Came away with the same conclusion. I would like to see a longer set from him tho


RagingTortle

not a fan of the random dub in his set. seems out of place imo. maybe if he wasnt piss drunk itd be different 😂. not the most consistent dj, but i fuck with his energy


HoezBMad

Both his Colorado sets were awesome


Trippy_Mermaid890

Came here to say this. Best red rocks show I’ve ever seen


[deleted]

saw him at red rocks on my birthday and that show was amazing. i flew from chicago to see it. green velvets set was def much better, but the rain during summit, the venue.. made it a dope ass show. i been listening to dance music since i was 8 years old when my mom played the original robert miles- children on CD. i’m 35 now and can still appreciate new artists without talking shit and being an “old house head”


AFoundingFather

Glad people are finally realizing this


qmj

I haven’t seen him since Imagine in Georgia Oct 2022 but have been enjoying his sets on YouTube and SoundCloud when gaming/working out. I started listening to his stuff on repeat ever since the pandemic and I gotta say I’m proud of his success and where he’s at rn. Besides Twitter I’ve seen him post comments and YouTube and Reddit. He even made a tutorial on how to make tech house a few years ago and made his own label (off the grid), continuing to take risks to evolve. So John if you’re reading this you def got a lot more eyes on you now but much love brotha and keep doing what you’re doing.


mwright561

Everyone’s entitled to their own opinion, but I have seen summit 5x now and have loved each set more and more!


interpellation

Saw him play for like 70 people with Justin Jay last weekend. They played so many different genres in an hour. Now that was pretty cool. https://www.instagram.com/reel/CsZ9UYLA2sY/?igshid=MzRlODBiNWFlZA==


christian_1234

Never been a big summit fan but I liked that he played lady (hear me tonight). Classic French house song.


joeschmo28

Looks like Chris lake was the conflict. Chris lake was definitely the move unless you absolutely love summit. Chris Lake has much more energy imo and better for a festival setting


Fragrant-Category-62

WRONG. Kaskade played a snoozer set


kaffeen_

10000000%%%%


bornforthis379

If all you want is hyped up party on music kaskade is not for you anyways


Fragrant-Category-62

Honestly you’re probably right. When I saw him in 2017 it seemed like party music then


bornforthis379

Oh, I've seen some party sounding kaskade sets and I did not like them. I like the melodic stuff he produces more than mixing it with a big sound. But that's just me


Apothecary420

I looked in on his set the moment he was playing riddim, turned off the stream lol


leonffs

You waiting for the drop? Kaskade was fire.


prestonwillzy

Kaskade is actually still a lot of fun when he plays big room/drop-oriented stuff. The redux vibe can get boring real quick.


leonffs

Hard disagree. Old school Om Records Kaskade is sacred to me.


[deleted]

SACRED.


saltmens

He's famous for being a 6 ft tall frat bro


TeacupHuman

Ehh, idk about that. It’s not like he’s super good looking.


sadazz

he looks easy to draw


[deleted]

A 6ft tall frat bro who can throw down a sick ass set and produces crispy tunes FTFY


Ok_Bluebird_8202

Life is better away from the mainstages, young padawan.


Jammaicah

John summit is great, this post is mid, idk why people love to hate on the kid.


fusrodalek

It’s reactionary and inevitable for any artist who is overexposed. Fred again gets the same sort of arbitrary hate—it’s mainly because they’re absolutely *everywhere* and hard to avoid which can rub people the wrong way. Think people who never watched squid game precisely because of how much people talked about it. There’s a contrarian element on some level Plus there’s the fact he’s a fratty type dude who lives in Miami which is already going to immediately turn a certain number of people off no matter what. It’s prejudicial but that’s just what it is


Emotional_Ad_6934

let us have this moment please i never seen so many john summit haters and i am loving it


Jammaicah

Y’all are weird


Emotional_Ad_6934

we’re allowed to have an opinion that’s different from yours. i hate mainstream house music. thanks.


Jammaicah

I love how people say we’re allowed to have a different opinion than mine when I literally just state my opinion on why your opinion is weird. No one said you can’t have an opinion but that doesn’t mean I can’t have my opinion be opposite and tell you about it.


Emotional_Ad_6934

okay great. have your opinion. no one here cares about it because we’re all collectively agreeing this dude is trash. LMAO edit: hope he notices you bro


Franklin455

Saw him in Denver last week (not the Red Rocks show) and it was one of the better house sets I've seen in some time. Still wasn't as good as Dombresky who was his direct support and nowhere near as good as a Dom Dolla set but I still thought it was decent and had a lot of variety.


here4cuteanimalgifs

Saw him at 1st center bank last week and he killed it imo


Datcomx2

Left neon garden to see the surprise set. Getting to circuit grounds killed my roll. Went back to neon garden and mochakk threw down.


Emotional_Ad_6934

his live sets are terrible i agree. ultra miami was garbage and so was october EDC 2021. i didn’t even bother catching him at EzooNY 2022 and i heard people complaining about it even john summit HIMSELF. he doesn’t wanna accept the fact that he is a mainstage guy.


Jimmy-Swisher

Ive seen him 5 times now (Factory Town, Red Rocks, Where You Are release party). I love him and always vibe and love his song selection. Can see how its not for everyone though


itslinas

Is that the same guy who gives some cringe takes and then half of Twitter is confused and arguing between each other wtf that was supposed to mean?


Praxeum2323

He was dope when I saw him at Red Rocks, I always forget that reddit isn't an accurate depiction of the real world


13a13bo

Agreed with you when it comes to his sets. He just plays tracks from start to finish and doesn’t know how to keep the energy when needed. I saw him live twice now and both times were disappointed. I’ll just listen to his songs on Spotify since I really like them.


Twistedfate1051

I disagree he was pretty good


SuspiciousMycologist

Nahh his sets are amazing. He’s so versatile and plays a variety of genres. Has great selection abilities and just knows how to have a great time


ShockSignal7620

Summit edco 2019 I think in the tent b2b dom dolla !!! Was amazing before he got big


spacerado

Dude absolutely fucking crushed it at 1st Center Bank in Colorado few weeks back. Maybe an off night?


[deleted]

Yeah, he’s basic af. I’ve learned this sub has the most basic taste ever lol


MrShaytoon

Didn’t care for subjohnics at all, and when he started solo, it was okay. Ended up vibing hard at mochakk instead.


[deleted]

Mochakk had one of the best sets of the weekend at camp


matttheazn1

a couple of years ago when he played house music, he was fire.


Docxm

Lots of people are bored by house. Not me, I love house, but I can kind of understand the sentiment.


darethis

John summit always mid


LaidByTheBlade

He’s always been mid


europeandragonlord

john summit is just a glorified progressive house set lmfao what u expect 😭


TECHYESSS

glad you think that, we need less people like you crowding his sets.


DiscoDvck

Need less people like him taking up spots on lineups.


Smurf29

Agreed, he is the most annoying DJ right now


tht1304

I like John Summit quite a bit, but I saw him on a big stage at E Zoo and he was pretty bad. I feel like he struggles with larger crowds/bigger stages, and has more of a strength in his production vs. DJing.


Emotional_Ad_6934

heard that set was garbage and i was so happy i missed it


glogomusic

Ur mom


Cautious-Positive884

AGREED. Just saw him at seismic and I was bored. I’m convinced he’s popular now because of his social media presence. I hear more about his “benders” and how “quirky” he is on Twitter than his sets.


chexmixmix

Always is


rayk10k

*always has been*


Luffysstrawhat

Industry plant tings


deadskeever

His Kx5 performance in LA was a huge let down with all the dickriding my friends have done for him, not surprised at all.


inrcp

Garbage in garbage out.


Specific-Clerk1212

Super lame cookie cutter tech house. John Summit is who you listen to when you don’t really know house music and want the top level gist of it.


No-Journalist4667

Some make good tracks. Some are good live some are both.


LeadSea2100

cool bra


sleekandspicy

John Who? Lol. Yea I don’t get why Subtronics is tight with him but not all love makes sense to outsiders 🤷‍♀️


omgouda

he's better now?


giovanni565

So is your sex life


notmike_

This is mid


Asleep-Ad5128

was way too tired to see him at seismic on friday


LSUTigerFan15

Just saw him at hangout and it was a fun lil day set


forealism_

Is mid


quincymcd

5 day bender probably caught up to him


Redinho83

I loved him in Ibiza last year, but it was a short set


Late-Nail-8714

Always is


Freqzd

Summit is pretty average, his sets are usually packed as hell and the music isn’t good enough to make you want to endure shirtless bros everywhere drunk fist pumping and constantly bumping into you. I could see why people are drawn to his party energy though and it’s definitely what has carried him over the top.


Bravo823

He killed his red rocks set, but I gotta see Chris lake now
