John Summit’s debut album delivers a unique blend of house, tech-house and euphoric, electronic dance music. Marking a significant evolution in his sound, showcasing both his musical versatility and his ability to craft tracks that are both radio-friendly and dancefloor-ready, Comfort In Chaos also highlights Summit’s remarkable evolution as a producer.
