JOHN SUMMIT JOINS FORCES WITH THE CHAINSMOKERS ON “ALL THE TIME”
March 25, 2026 (New York, NY) — Today, dance music superstar John Summit joins forces with The Chainsmokers on “ALL THE TIME,” via Expert Only / Darkroom Records. As the latest single from his upcoming album CTRL ESCAPE (out April 15), “ALL THE TIME” opens with a propulsive house beat and a plaintive synth pulsing beneath the surface, building an airy layer of woozy, atmospheric textures. Just as the groove settles in, the track flips—accelerating into a heavy, high-octane drum & bass drop that transforms the song’s energy. The transition propels the track into full-throttle festival euphoria. LISTEN HERE.
Ilsey Juber’s vocals glide through the shifting production with elastic intensity—speeding up, stretching out, and anchoring its soaring melody as the rhythm ramps from house to breakneck drum & bass. Lines like “baby, it’s out of my hands” carry a quiet resignation, while the chorus—“I got everything I need when you’re right here”—deepens the song’s emotional pull. Even as the production explodes into rapid-fire percussion and bass-driven momentum, a current of sadness runs beneath it, most evident when Juber echoes “only all the time,” lamenting a love that can never quite be hers.

CTRL ESCAPE pushes boundaries by fusing a wide array of genres, from heavy-hitting tech-house flair to dubstep, drum & bass, and other broader influences. Taken as a whole, the body of work acts as a portrait of John Summit’s life right now — the relentless touring, the stadium gigs that butt right up against the intimate shows he keeps doing in order to maintain a connection to his day one fans, but it’s also designed to be played out in rooms of all sizes. Each track is its own world, its own journey through the past and present of electronic music. PRE-SAVE HERE.
Marking a major career benchmark, Summit will return to Ultra Music Festival and close out the mainstage on Sunday, March 29. Additionally, during Miami Music Week, he will launch an exclusive new channel, Experts Only Radio, on SiriusXM, going live March 27 on the SiriusXM app. Curated by the internationally acclaimed DJ and producer himself, the channel will give fans unparalleled access to the genre-defying sounds that define Summit’s world.

John’s incredible run of releases kicked off with his debut single, “LIGHTS GO OUT,” which captures the monotony of routine before erupting into club-fueled freedom. LISTEN AND WATCH HERE.
Two weeks ago, Summit released “SATA,” a pulsating 140 BPM track with a Latin twist built for late-night warehouse raves. LISTEN HERE. Maintaining the steady cadence, Summit followed with “WITH ME,” featuring alt-pop provocateur Julia Wolf, where he expands his sonic world further, dipping into emo-tinged territory. LISTEN & WATCH HERE. Prior to that came “SHADOWS” (LISTEN HERE), a moody, intimate single with powerhouse vocalist LAVINIA that blends tech-house grooves with layered synths to evoke desire and mystery.
John Summit will make his Ibiza residency debut this summer, headlining nine Mondays at [UNVRS], alongside his UK summer headline shows at Labyrinth Events’ Tofte Manor. He recently hosted back-to-back Experts Only ski weekenders in Vail and Whistler. Summit will also headline Lollapalooza and appear at Ultra South Africa and Tomorrowland, before returning to New York City in September for the highly anticipated return of the Experts Only Festival following its sold-out 2025 debut.
Last September, Summit hosted New York City’s largest dance music festival, Experts Only, drawing over 50,000 fans and featuring a massive lineup including Kaskade B2B Cassian, Green Velvet B2B Layton Giordani, LP Giobbi, and AYYBO. He additionally lit up major stages around the world with explosive performances at Lollapalooza Paris and Germany, Ultra Europe, and two headlining sets at Austin City Limits Festival. He also delivered his biggest U.K. show to date at London’s O2 Arena before closing out the year with a sold-out performance at Folsom Field (University of Colorado in Boulder’s stadium).

About John Summit
John Summit is one of the most in-demand names in global dance music. The superstar DJ, producer, and label owner has amassed over a billion global streams, scored two #1 U.S. dance radio hits, and landed seven Top 10 tracks on the Billboard Hot Electronic/Dance Songs chart. Known for his explosive live shows, Summit consistently sells out major venues worldwide, from a lightning-fast, under-two-hour sellout at New York City’s Madison Square Garden to three packed nights at L.A.’s Kia Forum and a headline date at BMO Stadium. His global rise continued with a debut at London’s O2 Arena, followed by a sold-out year-ending performance at Folsom Field that drew 38,000 fans, and the launch of his groundbreaking Experts Only Festival NYC—a two-day event that brought 50,000 people to Randall’s Island in September 2025. John Summit will make his Ibiza residency debut later this year, with his first-ever residency on the island as he headlines nine Mondays at [UNVRS]. Whether commanding an arena or an underground club, the Chicago native (now based in Miami) brings his signature high-octane energy to every set.
Behind the scenes, Summit is a meticulous and thoughtful artist. Formerly a CPA by day and music tutor by night, he now spends long hours in the studio crafting dynamic, emotionally resonant tracks. As a touring artist, he’s headlined festivals around the world, including the Sahara Stage at Coachella 2024, and produced unforgettable events in unique locations — from the hills of Tennessee to snowy takeovers in Vail, Colorado, and Tahoe, Nevada — all under the banner of his label, Experts Only. Founded in pursuit of complete creative freedom, Experts Only is a global movement built on the principle of music without limits — blending house, techno, melodic, and everything in between. Summit’s global hits like “Where You Are” (feat. HAYLA), “Human” (feat. Echoes), and “Go Back” with Sub Focus (feat. Julia Church) reflect that ethos. He has also been recognized for his impact in the dance music genre through nominations Billboard Music Awards, American Music Awards, and iHeartRadio Music Awards nominations.
On July 12, 2024, he released his highly anticipated debut album Comfort In Chaos. Exploring themes of vice and virtue, highs and lows, and the duality of the human experience, the album reveals the man behind the icon — pairing Summit’s signature dancefloor energy with raw emotion and introspection.
Building on this duality, Summit will release his new album CTRL ESCAPE on April, 15th – reframing that tension through a new lens: the clash between 9–5 monotony and the electric release of the rave. Sonically and visually tracing Summit’s path from accountant to artist, the project positions music not just as an escape, but as a communal force—where collective euphoria becomes both rebellion and belonging.

The Chainsmokers, comprised of Drew Taggart and Alex Pall, have consistently elevated popular music by ceaselessly challenging it. The GRAMMY® Award-winning RIAA Diamond-certified duo have broken boundaries between pop, indie, electronic, alternative, and rock, delivering some of the biggest songs in the world, hosting a historic multi-year Las Vegas residency recently renewed through 2029, packing arenas across continents, launching first-of-its-kind metaverse projects, and selling tens of millions of singles along the way. Their catalog has sold over 118 million records globally and includes three Diamond singles including the Billboard Hot 100 #1 “Closer” [feat. Halsey], “Something Just Like This” [with Coldplay], and “Don’t Let Me Down” [feat.

They’ve also fueled crossover success for collaborators including Lennon Stella ( “Takeaway” with Illenium), Kelsea Ballerini (“This Feeling”) and Taylor Swift (“The Fate of Ophelia - The Chainsmokers Remix”). Their 2017 debut album, Memories…Do Not Open, notably premiered at #1 on the Billboard 200, followed by gold-certified albums Sick Boy [2018] and World War Joy [2019]. After a creative reset, they returned with 2022’s So Far So Good, their fourth #1 on the Billboard Top Dance/Electronic Albums Chart, notching praise from Pitchfork and more. In 2024, they released the acclaimed EP No Hard Feelings, and in 2025 continued their streak with hits like “Addicted” ft.Zerb & Ink and “Don’t Lie” with Kim Petras.
