Monday Choon: John Summit - SHADOWS (feat. LAVINIA)

 

With Ultra South Africa around corner, we got one of the headliner acts, John Summit this week with one of his latest tracks, "Shadows". The track has been out for 3 weeks now but fans of the man would have heard him drop it in sets for the last month and half now. It's another high energy, fast paced electronic track that has the vocals spot on by Lavinia. The man can do wrong when it comes to his music ability and to cement his name in the trace music folklore, he has just been confirmed to play a face-to-face set with Armin van Buuren at ASOT Poland in June this year. 

Ultra SA 2026 - Artist Line Up

Big news for all ultranauts dropped yesterday with Ultra SA giving us the full artist line-up for this years event taking place on the 25th of April in Johannesburg and the 26th of April in Cape Town. Unlike previous years where we had a phased artist announcement, this year they decided to just drop the entire line-up which in my opinion is better rather than playing the waiting game to see if your fav's are coming. 

The international mainstage headliners did not disappoint with sets from Afrojack playing back-to-back with R3hab, Axwell, DJ Snake whom all have played in the country before but making his debut and being the main headline act is John Summit. We're a big fan of what John has been doing and we can guarantee you he will be bringing that energy to the SA crowds come April. 

Resistance stage is back with Dennis Ferrer and SA's very on Shimza who's been creating "fire" on dance floors across the world headling that. Loads of support artists for the event is made up with some of the best local acts, such as Dean Fuel, Aidin Caye, Liquideep, Timo ODV, DJ Kent, Baby Whitz and many more. Tickets are still availabe at www.ultrasouthafrica.com 

Monday Choon: John Summit & Gorgon City - Is Everybody Having Fun? (ft. rhys from the sticks)

 

John Summit has teased us with many tracks during his 8 hour set at Club Space in Miami, one of those tracks was a new one with British producer duo, Gorgon City. It's a high energy track which kicks off from the start with a catch rap like vocals provided by Rhys from the Sticks. The track itself is a certified banger and given the reputation when these two artist combine, its sure to be fire track that will ignite most parties across Europe this summer. It has a great fusion of electro and UK drum and bass vibes, and will definitely stick in your head like it has in mind for the weekend.

He dropped this on the main stage with his set with him and Dom Dolla. It's already been frequently played on all streaming platforms and like most of his other works, its a certified banger. 

Monday Choon: MEDUZA, HAYLA - Another World

Italian DJ's and producers Meduza has been mesmerizing the electronic dance world with their unique sounds for the past year and more. Their sounds are a fresh take on house music with their added flair and it's been incredible to witness their fame take off since their hit track "Piece of you heart". On their latest offering they team up with Grammy nominated British songstress HAYLA for the track "Another World", shes no stranger to the dance music world as she's teamed up with the likes of Kygo and most notably John Summit on a number of his tracks. Her voice just suits this genre which is why shes so high in demand, from hearing how good this track is, I hope this is the first of many between the Italian trio and her, for now, you can enjoy this track by pressing play below. 

Monday Choon: John Summit & Hayla - Shiver

 

John Walter Schuster, better known by his stage name John Summit is an American DJ, producer and remixer burst onto the scenes couple years ago with his track "Human", since then he's been a regular on the EDM scene especially in the US and later on teaming up with some of the top up and coming people in the industry, his bromance with Dom Dolla has been well documented in their socials last year and its great to see. Last year John had another hit released when he teamed up with Hayla for "Where Are You", a track that did tremendously well on the charts and had a host of remixes and mash-ups. This year he teams up again with Liverpool based singer Hayla for their latest production, Shiver. The track has that edgy and catchy sound that is becoming their signature and a song that will suck you in from the first time you listen to it. The gradual build up with the vocals and the gentle back track is the perfect levels for listening or partying. It's a certified banger for sure. 

Monday Choon: John Summit & Hayla - Where You Are (Gorgon City Remix)

 

Chicago's John Summit's track "Where You Are" has already been rocketing up the charts since its release 3 months ago. Apart from that, it's been one of the biggest festival tunes over the summer with many big name artists dropping it in their sets from Europe to the USA. British music producing duo Gorgon City decided to take the track and put their own unique spin to it, coming up with something spectacular in the process. The track takes on that British underground sound from the start with a deep bass line line and subtle vocal with synths leading to the build up of that heavy bass trigger that leads to the main vocals of the original track. The remix is a banger of note with it receiving great reviews in the past week its been out. Definitely a future club banger and released right in time for Ibiza season.
